Hello, i took plan b (next choice) The morning after. 10 days later i had a Brown discharge that lasted 3-4 days. The second day it was heavy enough for me to use a pad. Had a little of dark blood.

Hello,
The emergency contraceptive pill is very effective in preventing pregnancy if taken within 72 hours.
It can sometimes delay your next period as it contains a high dose of hormones.
However, it's advisable to rule out pregnancy by urine HCG card test to exclude pregnancy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
