What Causes Dark Brown Spotting Post Intake Of Plan B?

took plan b monday night, then tuesday evening went to the bathroom and noticed some light, light pinkish color on the paper. I then thought it was my period. Later that night, I went to the bathroom and noticed it was a dark brown spot, kind of dry already, and then i wiped myself and a pink tissue thing came out. It was like two circles on the ends with a stringy part holding them together. It is now wednesday and I dont see anymore pink when I wipe. I need help finding out what it was.

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
What you are experiencing intermittent spotting and brownish discharge after taking Plan B can be considered as normal.
You need to get withdrawal bleeding within 3 weeks from the day of its intake.
Kindly wait for bleeding to happen. In case it does not take place, you need to take urine pregnancy test and seek medical attention promptly.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
I find this answer helpful
