... assured me nothing happened but am scared of pre-cum. also i'm not on birth control - was waiting for next period to get the bar in my arm. Took plan b and within a week after taking it I had a period that lasted 2 days with a single spotting on the 3rd. The period started out normal, light cramping got heavier then died off ( note this period was estimated to be a week early). Week after the 'period' I now have white discharge and cramping here and there. Is this common? What are my chances of being pregnant? I estimated it happened on the 14th day of my cycle. I know you can't estimated ovulation but I'm very concerned.
Any stories, advice or general ideas of what this means would be appreciated

That spotting is merely a side effect of the pill, it does not mean the pill worked and its not your period. . Your period may be late too.

Remember you need a condom for the first 7 days. You can get the implant when you get your period. You should not have unprotected sex for 2 weeks before you get it.

Hi there
How effective the Plan B is, depends on how quickly after intercourse you take it. Although you have 72 hours to use it, it is more effective when used ASAP.
You are right that many women are fertile at around the point that you believe yourself to have been in your cycle.
Your BF did not ejaculate inside you, but you are still wise to take your own precautions. There is still a small risk of pregnancy from pre-ejaculate/pre-cum.
It is very normal to bleed after taking Plan B, & for that bleeding to be heavy. It is also very normal to find your next period is up to a week late, & that it is lighter or heavier than normal.
Plan B can make you feel very hormonal for a couple of weeks. It is a big dose of hormone for your body to have to balance.
Given the combination of factors you've mentioned, try not to worry about pregnancy. It is highly unlikely.
