Question: After taking plan b I started spotting brown discharge after 10 days! I am still spotting going on my 4th day but it's very light I can only see it when I wipe myself could it be implantation bleeding or side affect of plan b!! I took a pregnancy test and it was negative.. It's been 15 days since I had sex!

Brief Answer:
Side effect of Plan B

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for your query.

I have read you query and I understand your concerns about plan B.

Following is my reply:

1) This is not pregnancy.

2) This is your normal periods which is lighter due to the fact that you have taken plan B which contains a hormone.

3) This variation in bleeding pattern is due to plan B pill and nothing to worry about it. This is not pregnancy at all.

I hope I answered you query and addressed your concerns.

Let me know if you wish to ask any further questions. I will be glad to help you.

Regards,
Dr. Mahesh Koregol

So the implantation bleeding is not similar to this? I have heard if you already ovulated then plan b does not works? How early can you take a home pregnancy test after sex!! I did a test this morning and it's been 14 days..sorry to bother you I freaking out
