Q: plan b and spotting

I am 20 years old and I had sex around the time of my ovulation (2 weeks after period). We used a condom , but it slipped a little when he came out (didn't come completely off). About 38 hours later I took plan b, just to be on the safeside. About a week after taking plan b, I started spotting . This spotting lasted 5 days and then stopped. It was a dark brown color , sometimes blackish. It started out a little heavier (about 2-3 pantyliners a day) and then got lighter toward the end. I did my research and found that a lot of women experience this when they take plan b, so I decided not to worry and just wait for my period to come. My period hasn't come yet and it has been a week since the spotting ended and I am late by around 3 days so far. Now I am having this really wet discharge that dries white. It is considerably more than I usually have. I have no other pregnancy symptoms such as tender breasts , cramps , morning sickness, etc. but I usually don't have tender breasts or cramping before my period anyway. What is going on? My periods just started becoming regular for the first time ever these past couple months at about 30 days. I may have been more stressed lately because it has been finals week. I don't know what's going on, can anyone shed some light for me?

same issue
I seem to be having the same issue as you experienced, I am currently experiencing what I think is spotting after taking Plan B, but I'm not entirely sure, it's exactly like yours it started out with minor spotting, and its a bit heavier now and darker than if it were my normal period, however I am worried because it's been a few days and I thought spotting was lighter. I too don't have any pregnancy symptoms either.
