So I had sex on Feb 11, 2017 and the condom broke and we didn't realize until after. This was maybe day 4 of my 3-4 day period, and I was hardly spotting at that point. (I have a fairly regular cycle and have severe pms symptoms: extreme cramps, mood swings, heavy bleeding.) I took plan b 30-40 mins after, experienced light/medium spotting for a almost a week after, and it varied in flow and was brighter red towards the end. Condom broke again on us again on maybe the 23rd of Feb, maybe a few days before, took plan b 30 mins after tops, didn't experience spotting. I'm now a few days late for my regularely scheduled March period, have been having cramps for the past 5-ish days, and some of them have been prett painful. Have been experiencing mood-swings but mainly me just being easily irritable which is common for my pms symptoms. No bleeding yet, by I have also been under a LOT of stress lately. I just today experienced a light reddish brown discharge. It's also been smelling like period down there for as long as I've been having the cramps, just no full on bleeding yet.

Hi, Anon.
Thank you for your post.
Emergency contraceptives are up to 95% effective when taken as prescribed within the first 24 hours, so the risk is small. Side effects can include stomach aches, headaches, nausea and a general feeling of being unwell. Symptoms usually start 3-7 days after taking the medication and may or may not include bleeding or spotting. Not all women get symptoms. It can cause your period to be early or late, have a lighter or heavier flow, so be aware of this. If you don’t get your period within a week or so of its expected date, you can test for pregnancy, although the risk is very low.
