I had unprotected sex 2 days after my period and took a plan b 3 days after and a day or two after had what seemed like brown spotting and after it stopped I'm not sure why I overthink and scare myself and took two more after pills but offbrand together and a few days later which was also a few days before my expected period started bleeding, had a bad headache, really tender breats and swelling, fatigue, and a bit dizzy I took a test recently saying I was negative and I called a doctor's office and they said it should be accurate. I just need some peace of mind and an idea of how badly I've hurt myself doing this.

Hi, Anon.

Thank you for your post.

You should always follow the instructions when taking any medication. You did not take these pills the way were meant to be taken, so it will probably mess up your cycle for a time. Contact your doctor for further information and/or instructions. Moving forward, to avoid being in this kind of situation again, think about using protection when you have sex.
