6 days ago I took plan b onestep. It was taken within the 72 hour limit.. today I noticed brown discharge and started having severe cramps. It's a little early for my period and the discharge is definitely not anything like period blood. I had unprotected sex and he did ejaculate in me. Multiple times.
Is brown discharge normal after plan B??

Yes.
It is normal to get all sorts of hormonal symptoms for a couple of weeks after using Plan B. It is a huge dose of hormone for your body to handle/process, & should only be used in total emergency.
It depends where you are in your cycle as to what symptoms you experience after taking Plan B. Sometimes you'll bleed, sometimes you won't. It is common that your next period will come up to a week or two late, & that before that, you might get irregular bleeding, which may even be heavy.
You may feel very hormonal for a couple of weeks after using Plan B. It's a massive dose of hormone for your body to take, & therefore it should be used as little as possible. You may experience side effects such as sore breasts, bleeding, back ache, cramping, bloating, mood swings, depression etc.
