A member asked:

I took plan b a week later got my period, but have been having thick brown tissue like discharge took a pregnancy test & it was - what does this mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hormonal changes: Plan B has a high content of hormones and when those wear out, many women have bleeding. The irregular bleeding will abate. You may wish to repeat the pregnancy test in about 10 days. Use first morning urine and follow the instructions for the test carefully.
