Took Plan B during period and now this...

Hello again,

So are you sick of me yet? :p I'm sorry if I am nagging you but here's an update. Last night I could barely sleep 'cause the anxiety after your post (thanks! :p :/ ) and I also started to experience some mild cramping. This morning I went to the bathroom and when I wiped I saw bright red blood, I think is too much to be call spotting but not enough to be considered a period. I dunno what to make of this :s. I really don't have any knowledge of what the color of implantation bleeding and amount of discharge is, so could you enlighten me? At this point I am tired of goggle, it only increases my anxiety and confuses me even more.Also what I meant by what is the best time to retest is how many days after sex. Today is the 20th day after the intercourse, should I get an accurate response by now? Once again, thank you for all your help.

You can test now if you'd like. Any time 2-3 weeks after sex the test should be accurate. Use your wake up pee.

Spotting is very light bleeding, no pad needed.

Again, Plan B can mess up your cycle and make your period "different."

I'll be taking another test in a couple of days, I figured the longer I waited the more chances of having accurate results. I wanted to let you know that I have been experiencing cramps (like the ones I go through during my period) and I still am spotting. I put on a pad thinking that my period was about to start but I don't think is my period 'cause it doesn't seem like the normal amount of discharge. Its weird 'cause is not nearly enough to fill a pad BUT I would think is more than just spotting since I can wipe 3 or 4 times in a row and I can see it everytime. Another thing, I noticed the color of the discharge has changed, now it looks brown, like old blood. To be honest, I am having the EXACT same symptoms I went through a week after taking plan b (cramps and brown discharge).so could this be a really light period I am experiencing?

It can most definitely be as a result of Plan B. Side effects vary in different women.

It sounds heavier than "spotting" though.

Let us know the test results. Good luck.

I followed yor advice and took another test in the morning and it came back negative :D. I am no longer esxperiencing cramps (I had them for 2 days) and the spotting has decreased (today is the 5th day since I started "spotting) and it has also changed its color, now it looks a lighter brown. Its funny that you mention that it sounds heavier than spotting because the thing is that eventhough the discharge is not a lot, it still is noticeable on my liner. Is mostly noticeable when I wipe though; I wipe 2 - 3 times in a row and can still see it and (sorry for the mental picture or if its too much information) I can feel it coming down, like I do with the flow of my period. One one ocassion I saw a little amount of the discharge on the toilet after I peed. It doesn't bother me if what I am experiencing are side effects or a weird period from the plan b; what I am TERRIFIED is that this could be implantation bleedding/spotting. I had unprotected sex on may 26 (the first day of my period) and the discharge started on the 13th of june, if I was to experience such type of discharge do the dates concurr? Also as you already know I've taken 2 pregnancy tests and both came back negative, if I were to be pregnant, shouldn't have I gotten a positive response by now? I know you're not a magician to know everything, but I kinda need some positive reassurance. As always thank you in advance for your help and your honest reply.

It still sounds too heavy for spotting.

I don't think you're pregnant. Plan B can cause bleeding as well.

Hello again,

I just wanted to let you know that I took another test the day of my missed period and it was negative. I don't have any symptoms except for the missed period, so am I safe or do you think I should re test?

I think you're safe.

Remember, your period can be late, or "different." That spotting you had may have been your period.

You can always retest if you have any concerns.

Good luck.
