I've got a bit of a concern about my period and Plan B. I had my period mid-July, from the 14th to the 18th, and then I had unprotected sex on the 19th. I took the emergency contraception pill on the 22nd. But then, oddly, I got my period again on the 28th, and it only lasted about 4 days. Is this normal? Could this be a side effect of taking Plan B?

-Yes, the bleeding you experienced on July 28 could be a side effect of the Plan B pill. Its common for emergency contraception to cause irregular bleeding or spotting, even if your period comes around the usual time.

I'm a bit worried and confused. My girlfriend told me she's a virgin, but when we had sex, there was no blood. I know that's normal sometimes, but it also felt like her vagina was loose. Even when I tried using two fingers, it still seemed loose. Is it possible for a virgin girl to have a loose vagina?

Yes, a virgin girl can still have a loose vagina due to various factors such as genetics, hormonal changes, physical activities, or medical conditions, as virginity is not solely determined by vaginal tightness or looseness.
