Vaginal discharge is fluid secreted from tiny glands in the vagina and cervix. This fluid leaks from the vagina each day to remove old cells and debris, keeping the vagina and reproductive tract clean and healthy.
The amount of vaginal discharge can vary significantly from person to person. The color, consistency, and amount can also change from day to day, depending on where a person is in their menstrual cycle.
It is common to wonder whether the color or consistency of vaginal discharge is normal or needs to be checked out especially when you are taking certain medications.
Plan B is an emergency contraceptive pill containing levonorgestrel, a hormone that can be used for emergency contraception. Levonorgestrel can prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex. People sometimes call it the “morning-after pill.” But you don’t have to wait until the morning after sex to take it. In fact, Plan B is more effective the sooner you take it. It is a one-dose regimen: you take one pill.
The FDA states that there are no safety concerns that preclude the use of Plan B in women generally, and continue to believe that all women, regardless of how much they weigh, can use these products to prevent unintended pregnancy following unprotected sex or contraceptive failure. The most important factor affecting how well emergency contraception works is how quickly it is taken.
When emergency contraception is taken as directed within 72 hours after unprotected sex or birth control failure, it can significantly decrease the chance that a woman will get pregnant. In fact, the earlier the product is taken after unprotected intercourse, the better it works. Emergency contraception is not 100% effective, which is why it is critical that women have a “Plan A” (regular) birth control method or start one if they don’t have one.
Plan B works like other birth control pills to prevent pregnancy. Plan B acts primarily by stopping the release of an egg from the ovary (ovulation). It may prevent the union of sperm and egg (fertilization). If fertilization does occur, Plan B may prevent a fertilized egg from attaching to the womb (implantation). If a fertilized egg is implanted prior to taking Plan B, Plan B will not work.
When used as directed, Plan B One-Step is generally safe and effective. In 1997, the Food and Drug Administration reviewed the evidence on the safety and concluded that emergency contraception pills are safe and effective. In 2006, the FDA approved the sale of Plan B over the counter.
Take Plan B One-Step, as soon as you can after unprotected sex. Simply swallow the tablet the way you would any other pill. Read the instructions that come in the package for more information.
You can take Plan B One-Step pills up to five days after unprotected sex, but they work much better if you take them during the first three days. Take a pregnancy test if you haven’t gotten your period within three weeks after taking the morning-after pill.
Don’t take Plan B One-Step morning-after pills if you’ve taken Ella in the last five days.
Is it normal to have brown discharge after taking Plan B?
Yes, it is completely normal and harmless to have brown discharge after taking Plan B and does not necessarily mean that you’re pregnant. Some women who take emergency contraception may also experience light vaginal bleeding. This usually ends within three days.
The consistency of your discharge changes while taking Plan B because progestins cause your vaginal secretions to become thicker to help make it difficult for sperm to move.
However, in some cases, brown discharge can be old blood that’s taking extra time to leave the uterus. This is especially true if you see it at the beginning or end of your menstrual period. Brown discharge at other points in your cycle may still be normal but be sure to take note of any other symptoms you experience.
Plan B is an effective option for preventing pregnancy after unprotected sex, but it isn’t as effective as other methods of contraception and isn’t recommended for routine use. Also, the Plan B pill can fail even with correct use, and it offers no protection against sexually transmitted infections.
The Plan B pill isn’t appropriate for everyone. Don’t take a morning-after pill if:
• You’re allergic to any component of the Plan B
• You’re taking certain medications that can decrease the effectiveness of the morning-after pill, such as barbiturates or St. John’s wort
If you’re overweight or obese, there’s some indication that the morning-after pill like Plan B won’t be as effective in preventing pregnancy as it is for women who aren’t overweight.
Also, make sure you’re not pregnant before using ulipristal. The effects of ulipristal on a developing baby are unknown. If you’re breastfeeding, ulipristal isn’t recommended.
Side effects of Plan B, which typically last only a few days, might include:
• Bleeding between periods or heavier menstrual bleeding
• Lower abdominal pain or cramps
Plan B may cause other side effects. Call your doctor if you have any unusual problems while taking this medication.
If you experience a serious side effect, you or your doctor may send a report to the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting program online ( http://www.fda.gov/Safety/MedWatch ) or by phone (1-800-332-1088).

Me and my boyfriend had intercourse on my ovulation day and he came in me but I took a Plan B in less then 24 hours after that happened. What are the chances of the pill working?
The white discharge just means you took Plan B. It's a common symptom/side effect.
Plan B works by delaying your ovulation until the sperm leaves your body. If you're already ovulating then it can't do that, & you'd need one of the other methods of emergency contraception . The other emergency pill called Ella (Ulipristal Acetate) is more likely to help you in that situation.
Some think Plan B works in other ways, but the Manufacturer does not claim that. They say it's possible, but don't say it definitely does.

Hi, I'm 16 years old and had sex for the first time 7 days ago. I took Plan B One Step the next morning and have been experiencing the side effects such as slight nausea, tiredness, and it also cause a lot of mood swings because of the hormones. I have white milky like discharge and I am not sure if that's a sign of pregnancy (read that online) or if that can be another side effect from the pill. My expected date to start my menstrual cycle is in about 2 or 3 days but I'm extremely anxious.
this isn’t a answer . i have a question n i need someone to answer it for me ,, so yesterday i took a plan b (i took it under 24 hours after having sex) but today i have egg white discharge (the discharge u get when ovulating) what does that mean ??
How did it go for you? I'm pretty much in the same boat. Bf and I slipped up and something told me I needed to be extra careful so we picked up plan b the next day. That was four days ago and I'm super dizzy. Way dizzy. I've taken this before and I just felt like I had the flu for a couple days then nothing but not this time. So just wondering. How did it turn out for you?
All the symptoms you mention are caused by the Plan B. It's too early to be getting pregnancy symptoms. Your period may also be late, because of the Plan B. It delays ovulation, until the sperm leaves your body. This means it often also pushes back your period. Most women ovulate around the middle of their cycle (day 1 of your cycle is the 1st day of your period). So ovulation (the day when you release your eggs) is somewhere around day 14, but not exactly. If you were already ovulating at the time of sex, then Plan B may not be able to help you. Some believe that Plan B works in other ways, but this is not supported on the Manufacturer's website. If you google natural family planning, you can learn how to monitor your body's signs, to tell exactly when you are fertile.
thank you, and no I was not ovulating when this happened.
Ah good. I just thought I'd mention it because most women rely on apps that only give a rough guide. Not many women are into monitoring all the necessary signs to know exactly.
Plan B is not as reliable as regular birth control, & is only meant to be used in total emergencies, because it is a huge dose of hormone, so it's worth sorting out some reliable birth control for the future.
thank you again, but how would you be 100% sure when you're ovulating
'If you google natural family planning, you can learn how to monitor your body's signs, to tell exactly when you are fertile.'
You need to have monitored them for a couple of months, so that you have something to compare your readings against. I use a site called my monthly cycles dot com to record all my signs & also my periods. Each day you take your temperature, chart your vaginal/cervical mucus changes, whether or not your cervix is sitting high up or low down in your vagina, & whether the opening to it is open or closed. It's easy when you get the hang of it.
Oh, & obviously you weren't protected against STDs, so you might want to get tested to be safe.
Hi, so update is that last night I saw light blood spotting and I thought my period was going to come Wednesday from me looking at how my normal cycle works, what does this mean???
It could mean anything. The only way you're going to know if it was just the Plan B, is by taking a pregnancy test.
