What Causes Delayed Periods And Pink Vaginal Discharge After Taking Plan B?
Question: hey. so last friday I had had sex with my boyfriend but the condom broke and he ended up cuming inside of me. we immediately went to walgreens and bought plan b one step. however my period did not come (it was supposed to come last saturday) and with someone's advice I took another plan b pill last tuesday. now I am getting a light pink discharge from my vagina. is there any possibility that I am pregnant? I am kind of freaking out.
Brief Answer:
Pregnancy needs to be ruled out.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Since your period was already delayed you need to rule out pregnancy to find the cause of delay. It is best to test your urine for pregnancy.
The pinkish discharge fro vagina is due to withdrawal bleeding caused by the high dose hormonal pill Plan B. This is not related to pregnancy.
I would advise you to use a surer way contraception like oral pills as plan B if taken repeatedly can cause you menstrual irregularities.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
