vaginapaginaSo, I have had my period twice with a week in between them. I took Plan B on the last day of my period.
This is what happened:
condom broke, he pulled out riiiiight before he ejaculated, we freaked out, got EC the following day.
My "period" started four days ago. The first two days it was like man-the-sandbags-a-flood-is-coming flow. I had to change my tampon every hour and a half or so and since halfway through the third day, there has been absolutely nothing except for the dark brown blood, and very little of that. Could this be decidual bleeding? The chances of my getting pregnant were so slim already and the added EC should have made it even smaller, close to nonexistent. I'm aware that EC can make periods strange, but two in three weeks and the latter being so wonky?
My boyfriend's mom said that all this blood meant I had a miscarriage and I was like wutttt, no way. So, I don't know what to think. I don't even know when I could take a pregnancy test after all this craziness.
I'm setting up an appointment to get a full exam to make sure everything is okay down there and get a birth control prescription at Planned Parenthood soon. I just need some piece of mind before that.

but maybe I'm just weird.

That said with all the factors in this case put together -- a single broken condom incident on the last day of the OP's period, with no ejaculation in the vagina, and with EC taken afterwards, is extraordinarily unlikely to result in a pregnancy.
