What Causes Bleeding After Taking Plan B?
My boyfriend and I have unprotected sex on November 2nd at night and I was taking Plan B on November 3rd, which is 13 hours after unprotected sex. We have sex again on November 4th and November 5th while using condoms as protection. On the morning of a November 10th, I was having spot bleeding with cramps for the first two days and the bleeding itself lasted until November 14th.
My first question is; what was the cause of my bleeding from November 10 till November 14th? Is it because of the Plan B I was taking or is it due to the process of implantation? Does it mean I'm pregnant?
Not only that, my boyfriend and I also have sex again on November 11st with condoms using as protection. For the last 2 days, I'm being experience with itchy and soreness from the lips of my vigina. I also have a very thick quite muscles discharge since the itchy starting. As of right now, the soreness have gone, but the itchy became unbearable.
My second question is; do I have allergy to the latex condoms that my boyfriend and I was using or do I have yeast infection? I have extremely sensitive skin.
Thank you so much for your help.

Hello there,
Thank you for the question.
It would have helped to know your expected date of period. As what you experienced from Nov 10 till Nov 14th seems to be period which may have come early due to the Plan B pill. It definitely doesnt seem to be implantation bleeding as that is mild spotting and not accompanied by cramps.
The answer to your second question is that you seem to be having a candidal (yeast) infection from the itching and the thick mucus discharge. Try taking antihistamines as this will reduce the itchiness. But you need to take anti fungal medications like fluconazole 150mg and some local vaginal anti fungal capsules.
It doesnt seem to be allergic as it wouldn't have taken so long to show up.
Use loose cotton underpants till the infection settles and try to not indulge in intercourse till then as it may worsen the infection or even spread.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
