Taking Plan B 48 hours after having unprotected sex gives you fairly good odds for not getting pregnant. I would recommend (if there is a next time) to take both pills back to back instead of waiting the 12 hours. it’s more effective to take the total dose at one time (which is why we now have Plan B One Step). It’s also best to take Plan B immediately after having unprotected sex, as in within the first 12 hours. The sooner you take Plan B (or any other emergency contraceptive), the higher your chances for not getting pregnant.

thick white vaginal discharge is commonly experienced at the beginning & end of your menstrual cycle. Normal white vaginal discharge is not accompanied by vaginal itching. If itching is present, be aware that a thick white vaginal discharge can indicate a yeast infection, and you should see your doctor for treatment.

Since you do still have some risk, if your period does not come, I would recommend you take a home pregnancy test around the day that your next period should have ended. You’ll want to take the pregnancy test first thing in the morning with your concentrated urine for best results.
