Need Help Please!
Posted: 07-25-07 22:51pm

Two weeks ago, I had sex,used a condom, and later used Plan B. I then started Ortho Tri Lo(sp?) and I've been on that for about 6 days. My question is, today I had bleeding, it was very light, my breasts are tender also. I was wondering If i could be pregnant, or am I just stressing myself out?

Thanks for any help!!!

You are probably just stressing yourself out. Plan B is very effective when taken withing the resomended time frame and it can also throw you periods off a little. It can also take a while for your body to adjust to the new pill as well.

If you are still worried wait two weeks from the time you had sex and take a pregnancy test to ease your mind

I kind of thought I was worrying. Just I started bleeding this afternoon, and it's already gone... That's normal then? Would that be considered my period while on the pill?

Your period is during the inactive pills at the end of your pack. Any bleeding while taking the other pills is considered break-through bleeding and is quite common during the first few months of taking birth control

Plan b also makes your period weird, so don't let that freak you out. Your period may be early, later, or nonexistent, especially because you started the pill too.
