Hi.

I've gone through your query. I can understand your anxiety.

Usually, Plan B pills should be taken within 5 days of unprotected sex, which reduces the risk of pregnancy up to 89%.

Your symptoms may be due to the pills you've taken. It includes Spotting inbetween periods, Breast swelling or tenderness, weight gain, Stomach upset, Nausea, Mood changes, headaches and migraine.

I advice you to,
- Take antispasmodics
- Take iron & folic acid supplements
- Consult your doctor for further assistance.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Get well soon.

Regards,
Dr. Yogapriya V, General and family physician.
