me and my guy had sex, we used condoms but there might have been a mishap. I took plan b two days later, about a week after I took plan b I had brown discharge. After the discharge I had some light pink spotting, I have had brown and pink spotting for about three days now, its pretty light. I thought I was getting my period because one time I was going restroom and there was a big droplet of dark red blood like my period usually is, but so far I have no flow and the spotting stopped. Its a week before my period is actually due, can I take a pregnancy test yet? Also, what are my chances or being pregnant and is spotting after plan b normal?

Anytime you have unprotected sex, there is the risk of pregnancy.

Plan B, when taken within 24-72 hours after unprotected intercourse is approximately 80%  effective at preventing pregnancy. One of the ways Plan B does this is by delaying ovulation. So, do not have any unprotected intercourse until your next period.

After taking Plan B, it is normal to experience some irregular bleeding or spotting. Your next period may come a little earlier or later than usual. It may be lighter, heavier or spottier than normal. If your next period is more than 1 week late, do a pregnancy test.

Family Planning Plus clinics offer gynecological exams, birth control, pregnancy testing and Plan B at little to no cost, depending on your household size & income. STD screenings are free for men & women of all ages. Please feel free to schedule an appointment at any of our clinic locations.
