So I ended my last period on the 4th.
Had sex on the 9th. And then took the day after pill the next day.
& now I am on my period again, whats going on?

Also, is the day after pill considered abortion?


Thnx. (link)
The morning after pill (Plan B) is essentially a very high dose of birth control. The main way it works is by preventing the release of an egg if one has not already been released. It is not an abortion pill as it will not terminate an existing pregnancy nor will it harm an existing fetus. It does not flush out your uterus. Bleeding before your next period can be a side effect of the plan B and is not abnormal.

Plan B is an emergency contraceptive only. If you are sexually active you should consider going on a regular form of birth control. If you have a local Planned Parenthood office they can help you with acquiring birth control, and they can also answer any other questions you may have about the Plan B.
