My period ended on October 18 and I had sex on October 22. On the 24 of October I took positioned 2 as an emergency contraceptive. On November third which was 9 days before my next cycle, I started having cramps and I was under the impression that it was my period but its not red, mostly brown and very light and it s not as liquid as usual but a little thicker and only come out when I urinate. I m not sure what s wrong.

You seem to have done the right thing as it needs to be taken within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse to prevent pregnancy from happening. Since the pill is hormonal preparation it may cause certain side effects temporarily like abdominal cramps and vaginal discharge, which should settle down over a period of time. The pill would prevent pregnancy by causing with Chat Doctor.  In case the bleeding does not happen by 3 weeks, you need to take a urine pregnancy test and seek medical attention promptly. Hope the information provided would be helpful. All the best.
