Q: Plan B and brown spotting

I took plan b after messing around. We did not have full out sex (in previous post called 'Pregnancy by Fingering'). I took the pill exactly a week ago and I had brown spotting for only a day. At first I thought I had my period because I had cramps and was moody right before & after it started. Is this a side effect of the plan b? Also does this mean that I am not pregnant? I have read it can be a side effect since plan b messes with you system so much. I am sick to my stomach a lot but I don't know if that is just nerves or what. I just want to know if this means I am not pregnant and if this is normal after taking plan b!

Yes! This is normal, well somewhat normal. I've taken Plan B before, and it had nearly the SAME effect on me, and I've never taken it again. It's very dangerous for women to take Plan B. If you take it enough it can most definitely effect your ability to have children, and it's just unsafe. It'll get better, those symptoms usually only last a week. The brown spotting is a common effect, it's gross but it goes away.
