Q: 

Is this my period or the pill? Can I I'll be pregnant?

Hello, I had sex on the 27th a day after I ended my period. My partner used a condom but I still took the Plan B pill just in case. Day after taking it I had cramps with a brownish discharge. I also felt bloated. It's been 2 weeks & I started bleeding at first brown and now red. At first it was light and then it got heavy.

Hi, Anon.

Thanks for reaching out to us.

Unless the condom broke, you did not need to use Plan b. It's only to be used in emergencies. What you are experiencing is the side effects of the emergency contraception. Side effects may include changes in your period, nausea, lower abdominal pain, fatigue, headache, dizziness and breast tenderness. Bleeding or spotting. Some women may have a heavier or lighter next period or a period that is early or late.
