Not On Periods Due, Got A Brown Discharge Post A Week Of Taking Plan B. Is This Common?

My boyfriend and I were getting close but we did not have sexual intercourse I am mainly worried about precum. So the next day I took plan B one step and i had also recently just started on birth control a few days before and about 4 days later after i took plan b I had a period that was a brown discharge , no red. It lasted a little over a week. My actual period was going to start in about 3 weeks. I havn t had many symptoms other than the discharge...maybe a little abdominal pain and gasses in the stomach . Now im expecting my period in about a week and hoping to get it! Is this normal after taking plan B?

Hi,
Thank you for choosing Healthcaremagic. Its unlikely you will become pregnant after taking emergency pill like plan B. Sometimes progesterone can produce similar complaints. Kindly wait for your periods.
