Welcome to EmpowHER. Thank you for reaching out to us with your concern.
The brown vaginal discharge indicates old blood. This could have been caused by taking the Trust pill.
I am concerned that the discharge was mostly brown in color, rather than red to indicate blood or shedding of the uterine lining.
It is definitely not implantation bleeding. Implantation bleeding is scanty pink or brown discharge, more like spotting. It never increases to a flow. It occurs about six to 12 days following conception and goes away on its own.
One side effect of an emergency contraceptive is changes to the menstrual cycle. Some women get their next monthly period earlier or later than expected. Flow might be lighter or heavier than normal.

I urge your girlfriend to speak with her doctor.
