Hi,

Actually if you were taking birth control pills regularly without a break. There was no chance of pregnancy.

Even then you had taken plan B emmetgency contraceptive within 24 hours of unprotected sex. So there was no chance of conception.

Now, Plan B has high dose hormones in it.This causes hormonal imbalance in body.&periods are postponed by 8-10 days.

The brown discharge you had on the expected day of periods was indicative of clearance of plan B medicines from your bleeding & you would get your routine period in comming 8-10 days.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Vasudha Jayant Athavale
