What Causes Brownish Vaginal Discharge And Tender Nipples After Taking Plan B?
Hi, I had sex on August 9th and the condom broke. I took plan b 30 minutes after the accident and a week later my nipples hurt but no swelling or discoloration. I ve now also started very light brownish/black discharge only two days. Looks like old blood and I know my period should start next week. But I also know implantation bleeding happens around your period time and has the same coloration. So I m just unsure if it s side effects of plan b or pregnancy...

Hi
I can understand your concern.
The described features are suggestive of an early pregnancy.
Plan-B even if taken 30 minutes following an unprotected sex due to condom breakage is effective in preventing pregnancy in 90% of the users.
So, the brownish/black discharge with tender nipples is suggestive of implantation bleeding.
To be sure, I would advise you to get the urine pregnancy test done.
Hope the suggestion given above would help you.
