So you took Plan B, and now your body's throwing a tiny tantrum. First things first — breathe. What you're feeling is completely normal, and yes, it will pass faster than you might think.
The short answer? Most symptoms of Plan B disappear within a couple of days, though some can linger for a week or so. We're talking things like nausea, spotting, breast tenderness, headaches, and that slightly crampy feeling that makes you question your life choices. (We've all been there, friend.)
Why the variation? Well, everyone's body reacts differently. Some lucky souls feel almost nothing — maybe a mild stomach ache and a tiny sigh of relief. Others experience heavier symptoms, especially if your period naturally tends to be more dramatic. Plan B works by giving your hormones a little nudge, and your body definitely notices the interruption.

The nausea usually fades within 24 to 48 hours. Spotting or irregular bleeding might stick around for up to a week — think of it as your period's uninvited plus-one. Breast soreness? Typically resolves in a few days to a week. Fatigue and headaches tend to follow a similar timeline, waving goodbye not long after.
Here's the thing — if symptoms persist beyond two weeks or feel unusually severe, chat with your doctor. No shame in asking questions!
