I took "plan B" could I still be pregnant?
I'm 20 years old and had unprotected sex with my boyfriend on Monday July 14th ( I know stupid but we thought I was already pregnant) so the next day the 15th we went to a clinic and took a urine test which came back negative so immediately after that I took the morning after pill properly. However now only four days later I have a dark brown and slightly reddish discharge along with mild diarrhea I am far from being due for my period, it should have be on Aug 10. Could this mean I am pregnant or is it just a side effect of plan b.
Also in July I only go my period for 2 days, could the urine test have been wrong? What's going on with this body of mine please some one help??
Also I have taken plan be before, a year or two ago but got my period on time and had no side effect like this. I've read a few articles that indicate it can be implantation bleeding... I'm very confused, any advice would be great

Plan B isn't 100%... as you know. However, if your hpt was negative (hopefully you used a double pack), chances are, it could be a side effect of the plan B.
Thing is, bleeding could be either or... could be implantation bleeding or side effect from the plan B... now you just have to play the waiting game.
Best.

Thanks so much for the help, my boyfriends mom actually would up giving me a pregnancy test today and it was negative! However I still have these unexplainable symptoms like the dischage, a headache, fatigue, loss of appetite, and diarrhea(sorry tmi) there is not way the test was wrong is there? Could it be something else?

OK so maybe I am just being paranoid but I'm sick of looking for answers on line so hopefully some one can help me.
I had what I think may be implantation bleeding for 3-4 days. During that time I took a pregnancy test and it was negative. I read that all pregnancy tests can come up negative but I also feel like I'm jumping the gun and taking it to early an should just wait. But waiting is a lot easier said then done. And there is still the factor that it could be the Plan B. However I still have those symptoms, headaches, fatigue, but I can't sleep, no appetite, nausea.
Could the negative tests me stress related?
I have no clue what to do anymore. I can't bare to wait any longer I wouldn't be due for my period till aug 10 but I just can't sit here and wait. I would be about almost 2 weeks pregnant at this point if it was conceived when I think it was.

Have you took a home pregnancy test? The Plan B is not of course 100 percent effective and the longer you go after the sex the less effective it is. But you took it fairly fast and it is a good chance you are OK.

Yes, since June when all this originally started I took clearblue, then recently when the new symptoms arrived I took E.P.T
I know there is a good chance and hopefully most of this is in my head. But is it even possible to feel pregnant this early cause I feel like I am. But like is said it could all be in my head and I'm just paranoid

IF you are not due for your period until August 10th, you could easily get a false negative on a pregnancy test.
If you had unprotected sex on 7/14 and went the next day for a test, there is no way (in my opinion) that a test would detect the hormone. Plus sperm can stay active for up to 72 hours.
I don't know a lot about the morning after pill, so I don't know how effective it is or isn't.
Just wait it out and stay calm.
Good Luck.

Thanks, How soon can I take a pregnancy test and it actually be accurate? I was thinking of getting a blood test done, that's shows the hormone a lot sooner correct?

A blood test will show the hormone sooner.
A pregnancy test should be taken - I would say based on your Aug. 10th date, Aug. 17th.
That, of course, would make you 7 days late.
When you do get ready to take one, make sure it is first thing in the morning.
