Lower Abdominal Pain, Pinkish Discharge After Taking Pill. Reason?
My periods had usually been starting at the end of a month and into the next month. About a week after my last period ended, my boyfriend ejaculated in me and I took the plan b pill about 5 hours later. I had been having lower abdominal cramps ever since and its five days since I took the pill and I now see a pinkish purple discharge. What does this mean?

Hello, I would be happy to help you with your question.
Given the timing of the symptoms that you are describing, I think that it is because you are now ovulating. Ovulation is associated with formation of a large cyst (cramping) and a brief, abrupt drop in estrogen levels (leads to a small amount of spotting). Take a pregnancy test in about two weeks and expect your period in 2-3 weeks.
I hope that this helps and good luck!
