Hi there. I'm feeling kind of scared and wanted some insight, if possible. I had my period on Dec 10 and it lasted its usual 5-6 days. My partner and I had protected sex 5-6 times starting on Dec 22 but were afraid the condom may have been expired. To ease our minds, I took Plan B the day after, less than 24 hours after intercourse. We proceeded to have sex several more times that week, all protected, except for when he slipped in once without protection on but we did not engage in full on unprotected sex. No condoms seem to have broken. Still, I'm having spotting that is brownish in color as of January 1st and it's been 8 days since I took Plan B. If it affects anything, I also take a regular anti-depressant/anti-anxiety medication and I am over the recommended effectiveness weight for Plan B, but took it anyway. I have had no cramping or other ill effects, except some breast tenderness and a few headaches, which were all listed as other side effects of Plan B, but could also be due to pregnancy... I just really need some reassurance on whether or not this spotting is due to Plan B or due to implantation.
