MedHelp Member's Question

Plan B and Spotting

by autumn519, Nov 19, 2007 02:50PM

Tags: spotting, plan b

Last week I had unprotected sex. He didn't ejaculate, but I decided to go take Plan B anyways. Now, a week later, I have what I guess would be considered spotting. It's a dark brown color like old blood or something. This has never happened to me before. I'm due to get my period dec. 7th. I read that Plan B can cause this. Has this happened to anyone else? What should I do?

Yes, this could be from Plan B. If you do not get a period Dec. 7th have your doctor check a blood pregnancy test.
