Had Unprotected Sex After Taking Plan B, Before Periods. Having Brown Discharge, Cramps, Growling In Stomach, Mood Swings. Pregnant?
Hi I had unprotected sex 3 days before my period and after I took plan B. I have been getting brown discharge and stomach aches/cramping a week after I took it. My stomach had also been making growling noises. Do you think I am pregnant or are these side effects from plan b? I have also been stressing out and having mood swings.

Hi,
These are the effects of the medication. There is no need to take emergency contraception immediately before the period as it is the safe period and the chances of conception do not exist. The emergency pill contains excess hormone and this disrupts the hormonal balance of the body causing breakthrough bleeds and pain along with mood swings. Your period may be delayed. Please see a specialist if you do not see your next period within another week. Hope this helps.
