Is 8 days post-Plan B bleeding normal?

Is it normal to bleed 8 days after taking the plan b

1 Answer

Answered on 5th Nov '24

This is a common side effect of Plan B; nonetheless, there are some cases when it might also cause bleeding. Sometimes, the pill may alter your menstrual cycle and then you'll get the annoying bleeding. But, if you have heavy bleeding, severe pain, or feel dizzy, you must consult the doctor about this. Make it a habit to drink plenty of water and take proper amounts of rest.

• Breast pain can be associated with anything from Fibrocystic breast changes, menstruation related cyclic pain, pregnancy, breastfeeding, side effects of certain medications, infection such as mastitis to inflammatory breast cancer.

• Heaviness of breast is because of various reasons such as large breasts, breast cysts, mastitis, pain originating from chest wall or pectoral muscles but not related to breasts and in rare cases associated with Breast cancer.

Further investigation is required in your case so as to confirm the cause behind the breast pain which include:

 Mammogram - Mammogram may assist you in diagnosis where in case the doctor feels a breast lump or unusual thickening or detects a focused area of pain your breast tissue, an x-ray of breast will help in evaluating the area of concern.

 Breast examination - In which health care provider will examine your breasts as well as the lymph nodes in your lower neck and underarm for changes and will most likely listen to your heart and lungs and examine your chest and belly to see whether the discomfort is caused by another ailment. If your medical history, breast exam, and physical exam find nothing out of the ordinary, you may not require any extra testing.

 Ultrasound - An ultrasound exam, which employs sound waves to create pictures of your breasts, is frequently performed in conjunction with a mammogram. Even if the mammography seems normal, you may require an ultrasound to check a specific location of discomfort.

 Biopsy of the breast - Suspicious breast lumps, thickening regions, or unusual areas observed during imaging scans may require a biopsy before your doctor can establish a diagnosis. During a biopsy, your doctor collects a tiny sample of breast tissue from the affected region and sends it to a lab for investigation.

 

• Tamoxifen is usually prescribed in treatment of patients who have cancerous growth in the breast.

• Breast tenderness can be managed with application of warm or cold compresses, occasional use of pain killers, low fat and high complex carbohydrate involved diet and limiting the consumption of alcohol and caffeine.

Consult a Gynecologist for further investigations and treatment.

I am 28 years .I want to concive for 2nd time . I am trying for 2 months .

Female | 28

Trying for a sibling and not getting pregnant immediately is completely normal. Two months isn't a long time, so there is no need to worry too much yet. To increase your chances, you should track your ovulation period, have sex during that time, stay healthy, and avoid stress. Additionally, the partner should be healthy as well.

Having unprotected sex on 27 th January after 14 days of unprotected sex i got no period. Then taking the pregnancy kit test and found negative then 14 th February taking the norethindrone pill got period on 15 th February is there any chance of pregnancy?period flow is too heavy. Possibility of pregnancy after this.

Female | 19

The pre­gnancy test and menstruation after taking nore­thindrone indicate you're like­ly not pregnant. Heavy blee­ding occurs frequently with this pill due to hormone­s. Though unlikely, pregnancy remains possible­ if periods persist irregularly. Monitor upcoming cycle­s closely, as flow intensity varies case­-by-case following medication.

Female | 24

When a woman is one month late on her period and the pregnancy test is positive, then it could be that she is pregnant. This can occur because of several reasons like hormonal changes. To boost your fertility, stick to the ovulation cycle and have regular, without protection, intercourse during the most fertile days.

If someone is 4 weeks pregnant and the conception window shows may 8th-10Th. Is it possible that when they had sex in the 8th they got pregnant or on the 5th?

Female | 25

Indeed you can get pregnant if you had sex on the 8th. Sperm can live inside the body for a few days so if ovulation happened shortly after on the 10th then pregnancy could occur. Some symptoms like a missed period tiredness and tenderness of the breasts may start showing. If you suspect that you are pregnant take it easy a home pregnancy test to confirm.

I am 23 years old... mother of one.... I keep having backache.... and last month period colour was almost purple in colour ... and this month right after my period ended I'm having spotting again.... also I have lower abdominal pain.... I get dizzy sometimes after meal ..... my vagina feel like it's tearing ever since childbirth what shall I do.....

Female | 23

These might be symptoms of different problems. Hormonal imbalance and infection could be suggested by purple periods and spots. Lower stomach pain can be caused by various things such as infection or endometriosis. If you feel dizzy after eating any food, it may mean that your blood sugar is low. Any tearing sensation in the vagina might have been caused by the impact of childbirth on your muscles. Make sure to see a doctor who will examine them internally and treat them accordingly.

Female | 32

Bleeding can be caused by a small vaginal area tear or an itching sensation. There could be various reasons such as bacterial infections or hormonal changes. People need to remain quiet, get hydrated, and relax. Moreover, sex should be completely avoided until it is diagnosed.

I suffer from periods issue ,,when i started weight gaining foods start gaining some weight ,,,blood amount increases in body . I start to suffer from heavy menustral flow

Female | 25

Weight gain could be the reason for your heavy periods. It can lead to hormonal changes, increasing blood volume and resulting in heavier periods. This happens because fat cells produce estrogen, which affects the menstrual cycle. To help regulate your periods, try maintaining a healthy weight by incorporating a balanced diet and regular exercise into your routine.
