Q: 

Unexpected Spotting after Plan B and Normal Period

I took a plan B pill 12 hours after unprotected sex about a week before my period was due. I then got my period a few days earlier but it was still normal (5 days and regular flow).
Today, I found some very light spotting on my underwear. It looks like what would be the start/end of a period. Right now should be around my time of ovulation. Does the Plan B cause ovulation spotting? Or is it likely that I am pregnant?

Hello alysa89xx

Thank you for writing.

It's highly unlikely you're pregnant but a test can confirm that.
You are more likely to be spotting as a side effect of taking Plan B - this is not uncommon. You should get back to normal in the next few weeks.
