Nausea, cramping, headache, milky discharge after PLAN-B pill.

Resolved Question:

Okay so I ovulated the 7th and my husband and I had sex the 8th and he came in me twice that day. I took a knock off plan b pill that night after about 8 hours probably! But I had cramping all that day and that night even after I took the pill. I've now been nauseous for about 4 days straight, and had head aches and back pain. And now today a thick white milky discharge was in my underwear

Hello,
Thanks for posting your query at DoctorSpring.com
See, most of the side effects that you mention, are due to the Plan B.
The Plan B is more than 95 % effective when taken within 24 hours of unprotected sex.
So right now dont worry.
The effects should wear off in a few days.
All the best
Please feel free to discuss further.
Regards.


Patient replied :

I have taken the Plan B pill three times prior in the last two years and never had those symptoms normally I may have cramping but thats it. I always thought the plan B pill became effective each time one took it? I peronsallly would rather not take it at all..but I'm about to go to med school and hes in the military. Anyway...what is your advise on that? Thank you in advance!!


Thrice in two years is not bad.
Taking it very frequently reduces its efficacy, and compounds the side effects.
Well, wait until your period ( again a word of caution - the emergency pill might prepone or postpone your expected period ).
And then just take a pregnancy test.
Plan B has a failure rate, albeit much lower than usual.
But it is not 100 % effective, no method is , not even tubal ligation !
All the best.
