Irregular Cycle
I got my period on May 8 and my period typically lasts 8 days. I took a plan b pill on May 19 and May 24. I started spotting on May 31 (one week later), and I was supposed to start my period on June 5th. My cycle is typically 28-29 days. Today is June 7 and my spotting hasn't stopped. How long should I expect this to stay and can I consider this my period?

Your cycles hv become irregular because of the intake of emergency contraception pills. Just wait now for 10 days and also kindly do a urine pregnancy test to be sure that you are not pregnant.
