Plan B issues??

I took Plan B emergency birth c like in June, and had 2 periods since then..the first very light, the second very heavy, which is normal. I've had some light brown a day or two here inbetween, which is normal also. But my August period has been unusual and I'm wondering if it could still be that stupid pill. I heard it could take about 3 months for it to leave a womans system, and that I believe since medicine never likes me. My period started with all the normal symptoms, and began with light pink as normal...and some light bleeding for one day only...then back to pink or lighter...and then brown. Now its been 8 days since it started (its usually 6 or 7 days for me) and I'm still seeing some light brown and pink. I know I had a period and this wasn't just anothe4r one of those light brown spells I've had, because I had cramping and breast tenderness..all that fun stuff...so why is it 8 days still. Could it be because it's just so light that i haven't released and egg yet? I can't see a gyno for a while, but would she be able to answer my question via phone if she doesn't know me and I haven't been to her office yet? ( I just moved here). Stupid question I know...but I need prof. answers I think. Please help with any insight!!!!!

I doubt that she will give any definite answer over the phone, but I think it would be worth calling the office where you have an appointment - you could just say you are worried, tell them the issue and ask if they think it's something that can wait until your appointment or if they could get you in sooner or if they recommend going to a walk-in clinic or something.
