Am I Having Plan B One Step's Side Effect Or Implantation Bleeding?

Hi, Im 21. I took Plan B one step on the 3rd this month and had unprotected outercourse around the 10-15th ... I got my normal period (30day) on the 20th but it was just one day.. it then became dark brown discharge really light (get more when I have outdoor activities though) for 2 days now.. Just wonder if that's the Plan B One Step's side effect or implantation bleeding?

Hi,

Plan B is a kind of emergency contraceptive pill which should be taken within 72 hrs of unprotected intercourse. It does not act like a birth control pill. Since you had unprotected intercourse and took no pill after that, there could be chance of getting pregnant. Take urine pregnancy test and confirm whether you are pregnant. Even though there are less chances of pregnancy we should rule out that before proceeding for something else.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
