Okay so I got my period on April 16th, finished at about 7am April 23rd. In the afternoon of my finish date I had sex and the condom broke. The very next day I saw a doctor and gave me a prescription for the Levonelle-2 Morning after pill so I took it. now this morning I have experienced some vaginal bleeding. at first it was heavy but within about 1 minute it went to very light bleeding. Im freaking out though, is this normal for me to get this symptom 6 days after taking The Morning After Pill??
Spotting is a common and genrally harmless side effect of PlanB and it's not abnormal for it to happen at some point in the month after you take it, maybe even more then once, until your next period.
The reason you bleed is because PlanB contains a huge dose of hormones that seriously confuses your body. In it's confusion it let go of some mentural blood. No biggie.
It DOES NOT mean that conception was stopped. There is NO way of knowing if conception was going to happen if you didn't take PlanB.
It very, very unlikely that PlanB killed anything at all. Doctors aren't actually exactly sure all the ways that PlanB works. There are some people who think it might actually prevent a fertilized egg from implanting in the wall of the uterus (if the egg doesn't implant, it dies, and that sometimes happens naturally as well). But that is only a theory, and even people who believe it also know that the primary way PlanB works is by preventing an egg from getting fertilized in the first place.
