Plan B, Brown discharge, late period

Me and my boyfriend had sex with a condom ( the day after my period ended) and then he went back inside me after throwing the condom away and cleaning off 'himself'.
we were worried there may have been left over semen in him so we got plan B and i took it 36 hours after. almost 2 weeks later i had a kind of thicker brown bleeding for 3-4 days. Now it is almost 4 weeks after the incident and i havent had my period.

Was the brown bleeding a side effect of Plan B? was it an early period? does it mean the plan B is working?

Most women will have some bleeding within 1 week of using PLAN B. Women are told to consider the bleeding they recieve 1-2 weeks after plan b usage as their period.

That sounds normal, PLAN B is known to cause period irregularities.

Whenever you are late, you can always take a preganncy test and it will be accurate...just in case..

another question, does this mean i should be expecting my period about 28 days after that brown bleeding? as of now its 4 days late of the normal day i would have had it

That is what women are most often told..

Any bleeding they have should be ocnsidered a period, and then your body would reset itself for the next 28 days.

Your next period could be late as well. PLAN B is known to cause irregular cycles for 1-2 months.
