Abnormal Period - Brown and Light - What is Causing This?!


Question: Abnormal Period - Brown and Light - What is Causing This!?
About 6 weeks ago, I had unprotected sex!. I'm on birth control, but since I took a few pills late, I decided to take Plan B!. I continued taking my birth control pills regularly after Plan B!. I was in the middle of my menstrual cycle, and when I started the white pills, I had my period!. It was very heavy but normal in color!.

Now, it's time for my period again!. Yesterday, I found a discharge in my underwear, but I'm not sure if it's my period!. It's brown and very light!. I've never had a period that was brown before, and I've never skipped one, either!. I'm having all of the symptoms that I have during my period!.

Could I be pregnant despite having a normal period during my last cycle!? How long does the side effects of Plan B last for, and is this one of them!? Is a brown and light flow normal for a period!? Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
As long as you had a period after taking the Plan B and have not had unprotected sex since then, you should be fine!. It's perfectly normal to have different types of cycles, especially as you get older or your body goes through changes!. I'm not sure if you are a teen or older!. The brown blood is old blood!.

If you are unsure, I would take a pregnancy test to ease your mind!. However, I really think it is normal!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I can not answer this for I am not a doctor, but my suggestion to you would be to continue taking your pills as scheduled and buy a home pregnancy test!. These are usually accurate!. If it is positive, stop taking the BCP's if you are planning to keep the baby!. Good Luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
