side effects or something else

I got my last period on 3rd october and it ended on the 8th. On the 9th, I had unprotected sex so I took an emergency pill an hour later. On the 17th I started spotting. It was brown in colour and has gotten a little heavier. It's been 4 days and hasn't stopped since. I can't seem to find out what's happening. Please help.

Hey there, I actually experiencing the same issues with my GF. Her period started on Sept 28th and ended Oct 2nd. We had sex on Oct 7th but right after we noticed the condom had broke. She took the pill within 30mins of intercourse. On Oct 12th she had a "period" which was heavier than normal and lasted until oct 16th. She was scheduled to get her period on Oct 26th but it is now Oct 30th. I am still waiting to hear from her saying she got her period but I have been reading a lot of these questions with people who have experienced the same issues you and my GF are going through. My question is have you gotten your period yet? nobody follows up with there original posts. They always leaving hanging and don't tell other people if they did or didn't get there period so I'm still kinda low key freaking out. Thanks

Just filling you in on what happened. So my bleeding stopped on 7th of October which I think was my early period due to one of the side effects of the emergency contraceptive pill I took as it was heavier and and went on for two weeks to be considered as an ovulation or implantation bleeding or spotting. I have a 28 day cycle and Im fairly regular so my next period was supposed to come on 18th November. But it didn't come as expected but mild cramping of the lower abdomen and swelling of breasts did start. When even after 9 days, there was no signs of bleeding but more cramps and breasts swelling and tenderness, I thought about taking a pregnancy test. But the next day I got my period. It was pretty normal. So all is good now. I guess it was only a side effect of Plan B pill and it just messed up my cycle a little.

Ok now the bleeding is a little heavier than before and its more reddish than brown. I've used plan B before but this is the first time such thing has happened. There's still 10 days left for my period.

Side effects from taking plan b. It's common to have a messed up bleeding schedule after taking it.
