What Causes Light Vaginal Bleeding With Clear Discharge After Taking Plan B?

I took the morning after pill (within 12 hours) just over two weeks ago. A week after taking the pill I had a light bleed, my period is due this week but has not arrived. I am experiencing some clear stretchy vaginal discharge. Taken two pregnancy tests they are both negative

Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...
Light vaginal bleeding post intake of a plan B pill is not a problem & has no relation with getting pregnancy. The bleeding you had must be breakthrough bleeding which normally occurs within 3 weeks of intake of this pill. You should not be much concerned about it.
This bleeding is different from her period & is normal feature of intake of plan B pill & means that intake of plan B was successful in preventing pregnancy. You have also done two pregnancy tests & they are both negative . So you should relax as you are definitely not pregnant
The clear vaginal discharge you are getting should not be a problem unless you have vaginal itching or pain. Please don't use plan B pill to prevent pregnancy in future. Use condom or regular contraceptive pill regularly as method of contraception in future. These have less side effects & are more effective in preventing pregnancy.

Refer to a gynaecologist for more queries

Don't worry you would be fine
Hope this information helps
