Okay, not long ago I have posted a few questions about the pill.
This goes back to January 12th, when I bought the pills. The previous night was the accident & within those 24 hours, I had taken the pill, 1 at a certain hour, the other another 9 hours, or something like that.
Ok, the effect of it was I spotted like 2 days later, then stopped. Gave me cramps here and there. I was nervous as hell, i took 2 pregnancy tests and they both came out negative.
Maybe like another 2 weeks later, I spotted again. It was a mixture of lite regular blood and some discharge of brown, no idea. It spooked me out. It lasted a couple days, I don't know in which I should just say that was my period. (That was last month)
This month, I'm anticipating it to be normal because last time people had told me to be calm because the pills have a high dose of hormones and can throw off my cycle.
Now I just came out the shower and once again I got the odd discharge and I do have some cramping, what's going on?

I would wait before I started to panic. You sound like you're experiencing a normal reaction to Plan B.

Plan B prevents (or postpones) the release of the egg in ovulation and/or prevents it from implanting in the uterus.

If you've ever been on oral contraceptives, you know that you start the first pack with your period and it "rights" itself by the second or third month (to where your period is the fourth week of the pills instead of first). Plan B works similarly.

It "restarts" your menstrual cycle. Your body realizes there is no egg and releases the uterine lining it no longer needs. But instead of 4 weeks to build it up, your body only had 1, 2, or 3. You may have less bleeding because there was less blood to begin with.

I would wait one more month, two if your periods are normally irregular, and then see your gynecologist.

I haven't taken it myself, but I know it can throw things way off. Unless you're in pain or there is a bad smell involved you're probably okay. But I agree with Holly--you probably don't need to panic right now, but it might be prudent to give a quick call to your gyn or the nearest Planned Parenthood and describe your symptoms just to make sure.

(Also, make sure you get those yearly pap smears at the gyn!)
