General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

After taking the emergency contraceptive pill, you need to get withdrawal bleeding within a week to ten days. What brown discharge you have experienced could be discharged of retained blood.

If bleeding doesn't happen in 10 days, you need to take a urine pregnancy test and consult Obstetrician for clinical evaluation and appropriate management. Failure to protect against pregnancy with an emergency contraceptive pill is around 10%.

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

Regards,
