A member asked:

What does it mean to spot brown blood? i have anal and i took the morning after pill just to be sure. i got my period but am now spotting brown blood

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably normal: You should expect irregular bleeding after taking the "morning after pill." See a doctor for STD testing and better contraceptive plan.
