What Are The Side Effects Of Plan B?

Hi, I had intercourse a week ago and the morning after I took plan B. I was feeling fine up until 2 days ago when I joined cramping and yesterday I noticed slight bleeding and today I noticed two small blood clots. I m not sure what s going on. Is this a normal side effect?

Hi
Thanks for posting your query on HCM.
I appreciate your concern for the safety of Plan-B.

When Plan-B is taken within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse, it can reduce the chance of pregnancy by close to 95%.

The most common side effects of Plan-B include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain (cramps) headache and menstrual irregularities in the form of excessive bleeding or clots.

Excessive bleeding or clots are due to hormonal changes.
So, in your case the cramps, bleeding and blood clots are considered as normal side effects seen with Plan-B.

Hope this answers your query.
