Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I have a question about my menstrural cycle. Two to three weeks ago I took a few Plan B pills throughout two weeks. I was supposed to get my period around 15th and it came only two days ago, but it is a dark brown discharge. I took several home tests and they are all negative. I was wondering why is my discharge is in this color? There is no blood just brown discharge. Am I pregnant?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Plan B Pills are to be taken only once after unprotected intercourse and not continuously for two weeks. There are different drugs that can be taken for this long, and they do not protect you like this. The brown discharge which you are getting now is probably the withdrawal bleeding which you are getting after stopping the pill. This was bound to come. Your cycle date will be irregular this month. However, wait for few days or till 15th and if periods are delayed or abnormal spotting only then get a scan done. In future, I will advise you to use regular cyclical combined contraceptive pills rather than this practice.
