What Does Blood Spotting After Taking Plan B Suggest?

My bf and I got intimate on 14 december 2014 and he rubbed his penis around my vagina and not inside it. But just for precaution I took Plan B after 28 hours. I had blood spotting (very less) on 30 december 2014 till 2 Jan 2015. My first day of last period was on 6 December 2014 so I am due on 3 jan 2015. I am confused if it was light period or just blood spotting? Also How can I be sure if Plan B has worked?

Hello,
I have gone through the query and understood your concern. You had the intercourse during the fertile period. You took the emergency pill at 28 hours and this puts you at about 70-80 percent protection. You also had some early spotting around the date of your expected period. In this scenario, I would ask you to go for the estimation of the serum beta-hCG titres and if positive for pregnancy, go for further management with your consultant. You also need a trans-vaginal sonogram for further clarification of pregnancy, the location and the age of the gestation sac and the viability. Hope this helps.
