What Causes Short Period And Brown Vaginal Discharge After Taking Plan B?
Okay, I had unprotected sex about 2 weeks ago (12 days to be exact) & I took a plan B pill roughly about 6 hours later. I didn t get any side effects from it. But a week later, I got my period, but it only lasted 2 days. & I have had brown discharge when I wipe for the last 2 days & I don t know what this could be. Will you help me find out what this could possible be?

Hi,
Plan B is a high hormonal medicine. The bleeding you noted after a week of consumption suggest, that the hormones have left your system. Your routine period would be delayed by 8 to 10 days delay.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Vasudha Jayant Athavale, General & Family Physician
