Question
My period came 1 week earlier after using Plan B. Is that normal? I also had horrible cramps for about 4 days before I got my period. Now my period is over -- it usually lasts 3 days max, but instead this time I still kept on realeasing this light brown/mustard brown discharge. Am I pregnant? Or did Plan B mess up my cycle?
Answer
Often after using Plan B you will have some irregular bleeding. The fact your period came early and was heavy sounds normal. However, I don't like the fact that you still have a discharge. This could be from an infection. I would like you to go to your doctor or clinic and be checked out.
