What Causes Vagina Bleeding After Taking Plan B?

I took plan B a week ago. My boyfriend didnt ejaculate in me, but we were worried about precum. I do not know if I was ovulating or not. Yesterday I was bleeding (idk if it was spotting or not because i dont know what that is) and today it’s heavier. What does this mean?

Hi,
PlanB is an emergency contraceptive.It has high dose of hoemones inbuilt... which avoid ovulation/conception when taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex.
After intake it remains in body for 8 days &after that in creates withdrawal bleeding.
Spotting is vaginal bleeding in form of spots ...the bleeding starts in form of spots remains for few days &disappears to start with normal menses after a week later than it's normal date.
What you have a week after plan B is withdrawal bleeding.
Thanks.
