"sometimes things get out of hand, and before you know it, you&#039;re rushing to go grab plan b at the crack of dawn. i was just finishing my menstrual cycle when i took the pill and was feeling a lot of anxiety about having to wait a whole month to see whether it would work or not. five days after taking plan b i experienced heavy bleeding, much heavier than my actual period. it lasted for about a week... and then nothing. i ended up being a total of ten days late for my period. i know it&#039;s easy to freak out but don&#039;t. this pill is used as emergency contraception because it had to go through a series of tests before it could even be put on the shelves. it works. wishing you all the best of luck!"
