Q: spotting between periods after plan b

so i just went to the bathroom and noticed brown discaharge .. im not supposed to be getting my period for atleast another few days. i got it on the 20th last month and like the 25th the month b4. so obviously you can tell im irregular but usually it just comes 5 days early each month.. so i shouldnt be getting it this month for another week or so...
i read online that spotting will take the place of ur period if your pregnant, but the "spotting" is happening now and i shouldnt be getting my period for another week.. so its not "taking the place of my period" ..
i also read online that brown discharge is normal a week b4 your period.. its just your body getting ready for it... but this has never happened to me b4... HELPPP!!!

i had unprotected sex a couple weeks ago.. and i took the morning after pill (plan b) i got my period.. but had sex while on my period once. also my bf did pull out at the right time.
i heard the odds of getting pregnant on ur period are slim to none, but still is possible.. true?

help pleaseee....

Within a week is pretty close timing to your period, so I wouldn't worry. Stop freaking out. Bleeding is not a normal sign of pregnancy!!

Having sex while on your period is NOT safe. Yes the chances are lower but its not "slim to none".

GO GET BIRTH CONTROL.

idk this is what i read online " Spotting Blood/Brown Discharge: This may occur when you are ovulating/mid-cycle. Sometimes early in pregnancy you may have spotting or a brownish discharge " maybe i misinterperted it?? also i guess u cant always beleive everything u read online.

and what do u mean by this "Within a week is pretty close timing to your period, so I wouldn't worry"

I mean it literally is very close to the time of your period. This may simply be your period starting early. You're not a robot, you're a biological creature and nothing is perfect.
