What Causes Spotting And Cramps After Taking Plan B Contraceptive?

I had unprotected sex on the 15th and took plan b the next day because I was unsure if that was what I wanted since we ve had sex 4 times unprotected it s not the 26th and I started to bleed a pinky reddish color that has now started to turn a brown color. I ve had mild cramps the whole time and my breasts became tender on the 23. My next cycle isn t suppose to start until the 5th. I ve taken a test and it came out negative. Is this normal for plan b or could I be pregnant and just tested to early?

Hello dear
I understand your concern
Spotting and cramp after the using plan B pill could be due the plan B pill.
It cause breakthrough bleeding,early/delay in the period and cramp.
So i think it could be due to the Plan B pill.
But if your normal period will delayed by the more than 12 days from normal expected period date then go for urine pregnancy test and or blood HCG to rule out the pregnancy.
If it will come positive then still you can terminate the pregnancy by using abortion under the advise of gynecologist.
Meanwhile avoid stress, take healthy diet, drink plenty of water and do regular exercise.
Hope this may help you
