What Causes Vaginal Spotting Upon Intake Of Plan-B Post Unprotected Sex?
I had my period on 30th April as normal. Had unprotected sex around 12th May and took a Plan B. Experienced spotting and light bleeding 17th to 20th may. Have been having trana lucent white discharges all my life each time I am excited. Had unprotected sex on 3rd June but no ejaculation inside vagina. Did not take Plan B. Have not experienced any changes but worried. Please help and tell me if I am pregnant

Hello dear
Understand your concern
In 50 percent cases women have vaginal spotting after taking Plan B tablet.
Plan B pill contain high dose of progesterone. So as you had taken before ovulation, it cause progesterone withdrawal bleeding or spotting after 5-6 days.
White discharge is a cervical secretion due to excitement. It is normal, nothing to worry about that.
In second time as you did not take plan B and your act was unprotective and if period will delay by 12-14 days from your expected period date, you should go for home pregnancy test to confirm the diagnosis.
If you will be pregnant and you do not want child, you use misoprostol plus mifepristone under observation of gynecologist for termination pregnancy.
Use safe sex practice and condoms to prevent unwanted pregnancies and STDs.
Hope this may help you
Best regards
