Brown Spotting After Unprotected Sex, Bloating, Headache, Swollen Breasts

I had unprotected sex after my period in august. four days later I was able to get plan B. Ten days after that I began spotting brown on and off for two weeks and then one day of red. I took a pregnancy test that was negative, but have been feeling bloated, having headaches , swollen/heavy breasts consistently for the last week so i took another test and that too was negative what are your suggestions, could it have been a false negative pregnancy test. I have never in my life felt this way before

Hi,
The effectiveness of Plan B is reduced since you have taken it more than 72 hours after unprotected coitus. Irregularities in menstrual discharge, breast tenderness headaches and feeling unwell are some of the side effects of the drug, as it is a high dose of hormone. I advice you to see your gynecologist for an examination and further management as you may need to exclude pregnancy. Good luck.
