The spotting was caused by taking Plan B. There was no need to take it because you had just finished your period the day before. You would not be in your "fertile window" on July 17.
A woman's fertile window is five days before ovulation and on the day of ovulation. These six days are the ‘fertile window’ in a woman’s cycle, and reflect the lifespan of sperm (5 days) and the lifespan of the ovum (24 hours).
Ovulation can be calculated by starting with the first day of the last menstrual period (LMP) or by calculating 12-16 days from the next expected period. Most women ovulate anywhere between Day 11 – Day 21 of their cycle, counting from the first day of the LMP.
Emergency contraceptives prevent pregnancy by preventing ovulation. Your next period might start later than expected.
