Question 1

took plan b, dark brown period, pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Dark, brown: Blood can be older, oxidized blood.   You can have irregular bleeding with plan  b. If this is your actual period - then you aren't pregnant.  If you just have some bleeding that may be a side effect.  If your actual period is more than 7 days late, take a pregnancy test & advise your gynecologist. Take care.

Question 2

i took plan b and i'm scared. is this brown discharge my period?

Accepted Answer

The brown discharge: could be spotting or your period. Potential Side effects w emergency contraception include menstrual flow changes (spotting, bleeding, early or late period). Take pregnancy test &amp; notify Dr if your period is 7 or &gt; days late.

Question 3

is there normally brown discharge after plan b period?

Accepted Answer

That is fine.: The brown discharge is most likely older, deoxygenated blood.

Question 4

is it normal to have dark brown blood a week after taking plan b? my regular period ended a week and a day ago. please help i'm really scared.

Accepted Answer

Typical with Plan B: Plan b essentially disrupts the normal menstrual cycle by blocking or delaying ovulation. That it is how it works and why it is so different than a medical abortion. Irregular bleeding after taking Plan B is not rare. Always check a pregnancy test after using Plan B and see a doctor to start a better form of birth control.

Question 5

period was 2 days late, but normal. have had moderate dark brown bleeding for 5 days after period. took plan b pill 2 weeks before period. normal?

Accepted Answer

About Plan B...: Plan B can alter the menstrual bleeding for the cycle in which Plan B was taken, and sometimes the next cycle too. One should be sure to check a home pregnancy test about 3 weeks after sex, because Plan B works most of the time, but not all the time. One should be sure to have a reliable type of ongoing birth control, the PlanA, in order to never need the PlanB again.

Question 6

there is brown blood for 5 days after plan b. was that my period?

Accepted Answer

Uncertain.: How heavy was the bleeding? Was it close to the time that you expected to menstruate? Potential side effects w emergency contraception include menstrual flow changes (spotting, bleeding, early or late period). Take pregnancy test ; notify dr if your period is 7 or &gt; days late.

Question 7

i took plan b and now i'm having a brown period (it's been going on for 4 days) it's enough to use a tampon once a day. is this my period?

Accepted Answer

Plan B effect: Plan B is a high dose of Progesterone used to disrupt the menstrual cycle and block ovulation. Temporary cycle disruption is common and expected

Question 8

hi. i took plan b monday 8/31. i started a brownish discharge on friday 9/4 and what seems like my period now. it's 2 weeks early. is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Not unsustainable: It's not unusual to have some irregular bleeding after taking emergency contraception. It should correct with the next cycle. It sounds like you need to think about a better form of birth control.

Question 9

two months ago, i took a plan b pill. i have had a period for over a week now, and it has been unusually light, now i'm getting a brown discharge.

Accepted Answer

Normal: After taking the Plan B pill you can have irregular menstrual cycle.  The pill has a large amount of estrogen to discourage a healthy environment for embryo to grow.  In the next month you should  have a normal period.  The menstrual blood can be brown at the beginning or end of your cycle and this is normal as well.  Take a pregnancy test to make sure you are not pregnant and follow up with a PCP

Question 10

2weeks after taking plan b i spotted brown 1week earlier than my expected period start date. brown spotting last 6days. is it= to a period or normal?

Accepted Answer

Not unusual: Spotting after taking Plan B is not unusual.  However, it's not your period.  Plan b can also cause a period to be late or early.  You'll have to wait to see what happens next.
