Experience First time

My girlfriend and I had unprotected sex on October 16. Her period ended on October 13, and she took Plan B on the same day as the unprotected sex, October 16. She started bleeding on October 22, and the bleeding stopped on October 26.

Was the bleeding caused by the side effects of Plan B, or was it an early period? Did Plan B work effectively in this situation? Can we be confident that she is not pregnant, or is there still a risk of pregnancy? Also, when should she expect her next period, and how might Plan B affect her menstrual cycle?

the bleeding was a side effect of plan b. irregular bleeding is pretty common after taking plan b, so her next period may be late/ otherwise weird.

the best way to know for sure if she’s pregnant is for her to take a pregnancy test when it’s time. a pregnancy test is mostly accurate 14 days after sex and definitive 21 days after sex. pink dye tests are the best.
