What Causes Light Vaginal Discharge Despite Taking Plan-B After Having Sex?

Hi, my boyfriend and I had unprotected sex August 7th and I took plan b the following morning. Tomorrow will be 7 days and I ve just experienced a very very light pink discharge. I ve been pregnant before and it was very similar to implantation bleeding I had with my first child. Is there anyway the bloody discharge could be from the plan b?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello dear
I understand your concern
Light vaginal bleeding is the breakthrough bleeding due to high progesterone concentration in the plan B pill.
So it is normal and will goes off in 2-3 days.
If your period will delay by the 12-14 days from your normal expected period date then go for pregnancy test and or blood HCG to confirm pregnancy as plan B pill has some failure rate.
If pregnancy will confirm still you can terminate the intrauterine pregnancy by abortion pill under the advise of gynecologist.
Hope this may help you
