Question
I had my period on monday. It ended on thur. And on fri I had sex I took plan b on sat. Nd then on fri of the following week I noticed i started spotting but it was like a little of blood and then a discharge or brownish redish discharge...please help

Answer
The spotting is probably not related to the Plan B.  It's unlikely you're pregnant, but you might want to do a home pregnancy test 2 weeks after having sex.  If your periods have been regular, I'd just wait for the next one.  If you have other symptoms, go in and get checked.  It would be good to use some good birth control method and not rely on Plan B.
