Protection: You did the right thing using Plan B; however, you did the wrong thing by having unprotected intercourse. I suggest that you always use condoms PLUS spermicidal gel, foam, sponge or vaginal suppositories, The Plan B can cause vaginal bleeding and the brown discharge is old blood mixed with vaginal and cervical mucous
