Last Month I took Plan B. It made my period come a week late. After my period I've experience cramps everyday. For the first few days I thought the cramps were because I was getting rid of old blood. Because I would have brownish discharge in my underwear. And then I would continue to have cramps afterward. I think I'm ovulating now so I think that explains the cramps I'm having now. But why and I'm having this cramps and is it something more serious. It's mild annoying cramps.

Hi Anonymous,
Thank you for your question and for finding EmpowHER. I did not see cramping as a side effect of taking emergency contraception. You may want to call your doctor's office and see what they suggest. It likely could be normal middle-menstrual cycle pain, but it never hurts to verify for your own peace of mind.
For more information, please review this article: Emergency Contraception Update, 2010.
Good luck, and let us know what you find out.
