A member asked:

1 month ago i had unprotected sex &took plan b. four weeks later i got a bright orange smelly period..is that normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Orange isn't a typical color for a period, but the timing is right. If you're worried about smell, you could have a bacterial infection. Your doctor should be able to diagnose and treat you for that if it's a concern. Best of luck!
