What Causes Delayed Periods After Taking Plan B?
I took a plan b a few days before my period and then I got my period about four days later which I believe is normal but I usually start at the end of each month so I started around December 2 and didn’t have one in November due to this. Should I have another period in December or should I be worried?

Hello,
Since you got your withdrawal bleeding four days after taking the plan B, there is no chance of pregnancy if you didn't engage in intercourse after that. Plan B contains a high dose of progesterone, so it is normal for the next cycle to be delayed due to hormonal imbalance. You may also skip one cycle due to this. There is nothing to be concerned about.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
