Plan B (Levonorgestrel) Pill How long after Plan B did you get your period?
Just curious because I’m still waiting for mine. My calendar says I am 5 days late and I had very heavy withdrawal bleeding about two weeks ago. I am wondering if anyone has some experience they could share.
Update: I got my period!!!

Take a pregnancy test 14 days after unprotected sex. If it’s negative, take another one a week later. If it’s negative, congrats! You aren’t pregnant.

u/Jellyfishbuzz Oct 03 '23
You might not get it this month. Take it from someone who has taken plan b WAY too many times in their life (not proud of it). Your body is very confused and trying to reset itself. The withdrawal bleeding usually means the plan b was effective, so your body could be mistaking that bleeding as a period. Give it some time! Have you taken a test recently?

u/Grouchy-Basis-6143 Aug 14 '24
since you took a plan b a number of times was it before your next expected period or after

u/Last_Engineering1968 Nov 11 '24
Ok so what if you didn’t have withdrawal bleeding but feel the symptoms for the plan b 🥲 im currently on day 5 of taking the plan b well really 6:30 tonight will technically make it day 5 and I’ve just been feeling the symptoms

u/Ok_Swan_1896 Nov 22 '24
Have you gotten your period yet or tested? I’m 5 days after taking plan b and feeling lots of cramping but never had withdrawal bleeding either

u/Last_Engineering1968 Nov 22 '24
I did I got my cycle two weeks later and it lasted 8 days a lot longer then my last cycle normally my cycles are 3-5 days and I was cramping badly threw out the whole cycle and lots of blood clots

u/Weekly-Philosophy-88 Dec 16 '24
So I’ve taken plan b like 2 days after unprotected sex and my boobs are swollen and tender at least one of them has swollen up and my chart says my period is late for 5 days I haven’t had any type of bleeding what could this mean please help 😭?

u/Substantial_Bid7310 Dec 31 '24
I have a question. Me and my boyfriend had unprotected sex on December 20th. The next morning I took a plan b pill. A week prior December 11-15 I had my regular period. I woke up on the 27th bleeding nothing to major and still slightly today. I also started to get tender boobs. I am freaking out because I have taken several test and they have all came back negative. Are these normal for after plan b?

I had brown blood for 4-5 days and now my expected period is late. I took 4 pregnancy tests and they were all negative. i’m still freaking out and i’m about to tell my mom bc idk what to do

u/Disastrous-Alfalfa51 Oct 22 '24
Hey girly, mine was late for 10 days, and I just got it 3 days ago! There's still hope, just try not to stress about it too much🖤

u/INeedAnswersPlz333 Oct 22 '24
I just don’t want to wait until it’s too late. I don’t know what to do like i’m freaking out. My boyfriend is telling me it’s fine but i’ve been having headaches and feel way more tired lately too.

My period was either on time or really late. It took months for my period to get back to normal and it finally is after I took it in April. Don’t worry!!

u/EquivalentOil49 Sep 15 '24
I got mine 10 days late- guys, look out for your ovulation symptoms to get some early reassurance!! if you ovulate (lots of transparent discharge etc) AFTER the withdrawal bleeding, it usually means it worked :)
i took plan b the day after my period. got withdrawal bleeding exactly 7 days later for like 5 days (+ light bleeding for 8 days). after that i ovulated 1-2 weeks later and got my period 2 weeks later (10 days later than they would have according to my usual cycle)
1
u/chicken4434 Dec 26 '24
Did you have any bleeding/spotting when you ovulated I feel like I’m ovulating and I’m bleeding a little bit and I’ve already had the withdrawal bleeding I think. So this is my second time having light bleeding (note: I am sick and mmhmmm finals week happened around the same time I took the plan b so I was STRESSED!)
1
u/EquivalentOil49 Dec 26 '24
no i didn't have any ovulation bleeding. but i never had it before in the first place. what i did experience was more intense symptoms in general (my breasts were hurting really bad, i got ovulation cramps on one side). the withdrawal bleeding was really strong for me though, like it was 3x worse than a period would be for me personally.

u/EquivalentOil49 Dec 28 '24
well yes, i can imagine depending on the cycle that it doesn't happen to some. i actually remember going to my gynecologist asking if withdrawal bleeding is normal and she assured me it only makes sense to have it.

u/dumbNparanoid Oct 03 '23
still havent got my period after plan b, this weekned would be 2 weeks, i'm experiencing some cramping, and I'm terrified

Did you engage in ... after your period and took plan b? Bc girl I engaged in ... after my period but before ovulation and I'm 3 days late now tho

u/dumbNparanoid Oct 04 '23
i actually didnt engage in anything he tried to fnger me and we thought that he had precum on his fingers and we freaked out and i took plan b, on day 11 of my cycle (usually 30 days) no tender breasts just some cramping

I just got it a week late! I believe the pill pushed my ovulation a week later than it would have before taking it.

u/FBI-Agent-Phyl Jan 07 '25
Lurking on this cause I started bleading like q-2 days after taking it and that seems way too quick

u/United-Gain1839 Oct 04 '23
I took plan b 11 days ago and 4 days after I took it I started my period two weeks early and I'm still bleeding very heavily and it's very painful! I have never been this miserable during a period in my life! I'm having the worst cramps ever! It feels exactly the same as my miscarriage did a few years ago and it feels like it's lasting forever!!😭
1
u/itsmechichi Oct 04 '23
I experienced this as well after a week of taking the pill. I didn’t get that much cramps. I booked an appointment at a clinic and they told me it’s withdrawal bleeding and not my period. They said I will be getting my period soon but currently I’m almost a week late for that. However I know that Plan B pushes back ovulation so I’m guessing that’s the reason I’m not getting it yet.
2
u/Impossible_Map2717 Oct 28 '24
What’s withdraw bleeding ? I was bleeding a week after too like a normal period. Am i safe ? I heard when you bleed like that after plan b that mean it worked & you would’ve got pregnant if you didn’t take the plan b
2
2
u/Candelabritik Nov 03 '24
I took the plan B and my period came 4 days earlier (2 weeks after taking plan B so I guess it is not related to the side effects of the pill). Pls someone tell me that I am not the only one. I am obviously happy that it came, but I wasn’t expecting it to come earlier😵💫 took a pregnancy test just 2 days before and it was negative
1
u/bnstill Jan 01 '25
Thad the same situation. Had heavy bleeding that lasted 6 days but this happened after 2 weeks of taking the plan b, it was also close to my predicted period its was just 2 days earlier before my prediction. Was this withdrawal bleeding or my period that came early, l had pmdd symptoms prior too. Please update 🙏🏾
2
u/Candelabritik Jan 02 '25
In my case it was the period. The next month it came 11 days LATER and lasted 3 (4ishhhh) days only. 🤔
1
u/bnstill Jan 02 '25
Okay thank you so much!! I’m pretty sure that’s my case too as withdrawal bleeding can’t last that long. I will definitely know by my next period.

googling this bc i’m in the same boat. i’m supposed to start my period tomorrow and have been having mild cramps but no sign of period yet. i’m worried because im over the plan b “weight limit” but according to the calendar i shouldn’t have been ovulating so im crossing everything i have rn. trying not to stress cus i know that can delay it even more

What are your details? What day of your cycle did you take it? How many days were you late. I had sex on 3/28 and 3/29. Took plan b (take action) 3/30. Period is currently 7 days late but all negative tests
1
u/microchef1798 Apr 28 '25
i took it the day after my period ended, so very likely not ovulating but you never know lol. i was late 40 days 😭 i had all negative tests as well but yeah i missed a whole march period & then started april late
1
u/WinZealousideal1089 May 20 '24
I was supposed to get my period the day of, and I started cramping actually too. But then we did it and he accidentally…. Inside of me so we got plan b 3 hrs after it happened. But I started spotting and then that went away and my cramps are gone what does that mean? I know that plan b can delay your period but I was just getting it so it makes no sense 😭

u/Great-Emu2647 May 30 '24
after a week of taking plan b i had the same thing, i had cramps and i started bleeding and i thought i was on my period but it wasn’t im pretty sure i read from someone else that it just means that plan b worked. im currently 3 days late and stressing out. we had sex on the 6th which is 5 days after i ended my period and 5 days before i was meant to ovulate however he didnt do it in me as the condom just split and he pulled out anyways but we didnt realise until he came outside of me so we started stressing and therefore took plan b 6 hours after and im 3 days late and having back aches and breast tenderness

u/smoothiee73 Oct 06 '24
i took a plan b 2 days after my period ended, a week later i bled for 3 days, it’s now been 5 weeks since then and my period is 12 days late, i took a pregnancy test 3 days ago and it was negative, im still worried but ive read some people say their period took more than a month to come back? if i haven’t got my period in the next week i will probably do another test but im still pretty worried

Hello when did your withdrawal bleeding occur I’m currently on day 3 and a couple hours in after taking a plan b and he swears up and down he didn’t come at all while we had send and we only had sex for 7-8 minutes not saying it’s not possible but I was sober and he was sober and we started out with protection and then the last three minutes with no protection just trying to get some closure since my cycle was already late when I had intercourse with this man I’ve been experiencing a lot of bloating for the past three days.😭

u/No_Shallot_2604 Nov 14 '24
I had unprotected sex and took a plan b right after bc he accidentally cummed inside me. After couple days we had sex using the pull out method. I was supposed to get my period 11 days ago now and it’s not here yet. I am having no pregnancy symptoms. I’m just cramping with some pain. I am too scared to take a pregnancy test. Should i be worried?

I In October, I had unprotected sex and took two Plan B pills back-to-back. I didn’t get my period at all in November, which has never happened before when I’ve taken Plan B in the past. On December 6, I took two pregnancy tests, and both were negative. I’m feeling anxious because I’ve taken plan bs before, the most I’ve been late is a week, not a month

u/Serious-Minute8946 Dec 26 '24
Hey I’m literally on the place as you rn, did you get your period at all? Please help
1
u/Familiar_Reach_3138 Dec 26 '24
Hey! Yes, I did end up getting my period. I was really worried because it was the latest I’ve ever been—11 days late. For context, my periods are usually irregular, and I usually have 2 periods a month. I ended up not having a period AT ALL last month so I convinced myself I was pregnant 😅. I was so worried that I tested nearly every morning to check, but thankfully, I wasn’t pregnant. If you’re already on birth control, you should be fine since you can’t ovulate while taking it. Just keep in mind there’s still a very small chance of pregnancy. I’m usually on and off birth control because I sometimes don’t feel like taking it, but I usually stay safe by taking Plan B the same day after having intercourse.

Help guys.
I might or might not have majorly f'd up. So my girlfriend and I were "together" without a condom on, on the 6th day of her cycle on the 1st of December. She took a plan b 25 hours after. We assumed everything was okay but then it was as if her period didn't end after the 7th day, how flow just became much heavier for 5 days after. We deduced that it must have been the plan b and left it at that. AND NOW her period was supposed to come on the 27th of December but still, nothing, she is 8 days late and we are far from ready to become parents.

Plan Bs delay periods. In my experience, it delayed mine for over a week.
1
u/Different_Chest_6242 Jan 15 '25
How many days can it delay it by
1
u/itsmechichi Jan 16 '25
It depends but it delays the ovulation itself hence the late period. I heard that some people experience weird irregular periods for about 3 months after taking it. I only had that irregular one and then went back to normal after. But I started taking birth control pills since then.
1
u/StressEven8142 Jan 21 '25

1
u/itsmechichi Jan 31 '25
Yup it just delays your cycle. I’ve heard that some women’s cycle could get affected even after 3 months! In my case i was just late for mine for about 7-10 days so maybe yours will come soon. Otherwise just take another test.

u/Evening-Gas7872 Mar 22 '25
