Welcome to the EmpowHER community. Thank you for coming to us with your question.
The vaginal discharge, which started five days after taking Plan B, was not a period but breakthrough or between period bleeding.
Changes to the menstrual cycle are a side effect of the pill. Your next period could start later than expected.
I am really glad to hear that you plan to start using birth control. An ECP, as the name implies, is intended for emergency use. Repeated use can reduce its effectiveness and could really mess up your natural hormonal balance.
