Q: 

Plan B side effect or pregnancy?

Hello.
Three days after my period ended, I had sex with my boyfriend. I wasn't ovulating. We used a condom, but it broke. We went and got the plan B pill right away, and I had taken the first pill less than an hour after it happened. I didn't feel sick while taking it like I was warned I might, and thought everything was fine. Now, 5 days later, I am experiencing some light spotting which is a dark brownish with a little light pink. My period isn't due for about 2 weeks. Is this implantation bleeding or just a side effect from the plan b pill? Please help, I am so scared!

Hey I had sex unprotected about 5 or 6 times during my fertile/ovulation period. The guy came inside me a couple of times a week after my last period and I used a plan b pill last time. I have been nervous and have experienced some light spotting(a couple of hours/lightish red color) and cramps which made me feel my period was coming but it hasn't yet. Could I be pregnant or just spotting before my period?

Hello Anonymous,

Consider taking an early response pregnancy test. For the most accurate result, test in the morning. Use the urine when you first wake up and use the bathroom.

Keep us posted,

Hi I about 3 weeks ago took a plan b and week later got my
Period couple days early. On my last day of my period I had sex he had a condom but he texted me next morning saying it had broke I took plan b again in 11 hours. I wasn't planning on having sex so I am not reliant on the plan b for every time. My cycle was January 20th and period ended about 26 and it's about a 29 day lengTh. Should I be okay? I've been sick all week to with stomach flu I believe I've been lightheaded can't talk nauseas for couple days now and I got cough but today I noticed I had a salmon color almost when I wiped is this normal? Should I be okay?

I had unprotected sex a day after my periods and took ipill within 2-3 hours. I again had unprotected sex the next two days but he did not ejaculate inside me. A week later, I'm experiencing bleeding which is brown in color. Is it implantation bleeding or bleeding due to ipill?

Hey there!
So I had sex last night for the first time in a long time. I am on Birth Control but there were a few nights this month that I fell asleep without taking my pill, I never skipped one I was just hours late taking it. So, to be safe I took a Plan B One Step pill. I've taken them before and I normally start bleeding a few days later...this time I started bleeding the exact day! And 24 hrs after I had sex. Is this normal or should I be worried, did it work?! I'll call my ObGYn in the morning but I'd like to sleep tonight

My last cycle was Dec 22 , I had unprotected sex on New Years which was a Sunday and took a plan b pill on Monday so about 24 hours later . I have been experiencing cramping for about 3-4 days . My expected period is due Jan 19th is the cramping I am experiencing most likely caused by the plan b ? Physically I feel like I am on my period minus the flow is this normal ?

Hi there, my current cycle started on Dec 27, on the last day of my period, Dec 31, I had unprotected sex where he did not pull out. Due to it being New Years, I was unable to get Plan B and had to wait until the morning of Jan 2 to take Plan B (just around the 48 hr mark). Later than evening, we had sex again but he did pull out this time. It is now the evening of Jan 6 and I had noticed slight cramping earlier in the day (I had assumed this was due to my lactose intolerance), and now have been experecing dark pink and clear discharge every time I wipe. Today is considered Day 11 of my cycle but the days I had intercourse on were days 5 and 7. Should I be concerned?

UPDATE: The spotting has now turned into what seems like an actual period. Enough to fill a Regular pad every 4-5 hours.

Hi, if I bleed a few days after taking the morning after pill, does that mean it has been effective and that I am not pregnant? My period should not be due for a month as I had sex straight after my period ended
