A member asked:

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?

A doctor has provided 1 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.
