My period ended July 8th. I had unprotected sex july 12th, i took a plan b pill about an hour after. July 18th I started bleeding, but I dont think it was my period because it only last 3 days when usually its a whole week & I had just had it 10 days before. Also the blood was very brownish in color instead of red. Its now August 2nd & for the past week my stomach has been cramping and feeling very bloated. I have a lot of white/clear discharge as well. Also I've been experienced mood swings. Thought I havent vomited, I have been getting headaches. Could I be pregnant?? Or does the symptoms usually last this long..

I took plan b on July 17th due to a mishap. I didn't experience any symptoms. July 23rd I had what I thought was my period since it came when I was due for it. It lasted 5 days with only 2.5 days of heavy bleeding. July 31st I had unprotected sex so I used plan b once more. This time I experienced a lot of symptoms; fatigue, headache, diarrhea, bloating, & yesterday August 5th I began bleeding again. It's dark brown with dark red mixed in & I have been cramping.
August 6, 2016 - 11:22amI know bleeding is a symptom however it took me off guard since I already bled not too long ago. The question I have is if I was pregnant would plan b still make me bleed? Or is this a good sign that I am NOT pregnant? I think I'm really just nervous because about 4 weeks ago my boyfriend inserted himself into me without a condom but I immediately told him to take it out & put on a condom. He didn't ejaculate but I know Precum can hold sperm and I'm unsure if there was any involved. A week after that is when My breasts were sore & I experienced light cramping. And The week after that week is when we had sex again and the condom broke & I took plan b On July 17th. Please help.

Hello Anonymous,
You should never take an emergency contraceptive more than once in a one month period.
The bleeding after the first dose, whether induced by the pill or your monthly period, showed you were not pregnant.
Pre ejaculate fluid is not semen and does not contain sperm. However, if he had a prior but recent ejaculation, some sperm can remain in his urethra. The stowaway sperm is flushed out when he urinated.
Your symptoms are most likely associated with taking the pill as often as you did. Please speak with your gynecologist about this. It would be a good time to choose and use some type of birth control consistently.
