Cylce after contraceptive?
by ladyDlove, May 11, 2008 12:52PM
Is your cycle supposed to start after you use Plan B, the emergency contraceptive?
My cyle began almost 3 weeks before it was supposed to start. The only thing I did different this month was take a contraceptive, called "Plan B", about a week before my unexpected cylcle began. The blood from this cyle is also a really dark color.

Basically it makes your cycles go out of wack. I'm still waiting for my next one, today it will have been 27 days.
Though I'm freaking out now because 2 weeks prior I had sex with my boyfriend, like.. 3 minutes of unprotected before he put on a condom, and earlier in the day he had already had an orgasm. I had expected my period to come a few days earlier, but I'm hoping it's stress that's making it late.
Anyway! I hope this helps a little... basically, taking Plan B is like taking 10 birth control pills at once, so it definitely will throw off our cycle and can probably make it a dark colour.
