Have I miscarried?
I am 16 years old, and recently, I lost my virginity. We had no condoms so I trusted the "pull-out" method (never again) and he ejaculated inside of me. I immediately told my sister and we went to the store for plan B (One Step). Now, 3 days later, I have a little brownish blood coming out of me. When I saw this, I immediately panicked because I just got off my period about a week ago, so I'm almost sure this can't be my period. What's going on??? 😔

You can call the pharmacist and ask if one of the symptoms of taking Plan B might be to see brownish blood coming out.
Many times in my life I have seen a day of spotting brownish blood, usually because my period was late, delayed by stress. It will happen at times and is something you have no need to worry about. The time to be concerned says my GYN is if I have any heavy bleeding that won't stop, have a strong pain in my abdomen or experience pain during sex and thats when to see the Dr.
In 3 or 4 day since sex, if you had not taken plan B and did have a ready egg for sperm to fertilize, it would still take another 6 days for fertile egg to travel to attach itself to your uterus lining at which point you become pregnant. While its possible at such an early stage for a woman who was truly pregnant already to miscarry, you haven't had enough time go by yet for you to have it be a miscarry.

I do not believe you miscarried. If you had sex and then you had your period you were never pregnant in the first place. IF you just finished your period and had sex within the last week the chances are excellent that you were not fertile and could not become pregnant.
Most women are fertile between the 7th and 21st day of their cycle. This is true for about 80% of women. The other 20 % of women can be fertile at any time including while they are having their period. IF you know when you ovulate then you will know which group you are in.
Since you are now sexually active you should also know that under a federal law called HIPPA. The law was designed to allow anyone 14 years of age and older to seek medical assistance for anything concerning their reproductive system with full medical confidentiality.
As a by product of this law you can also ask any doctor of your choosing or go to any women's clinic; ask for and be prescribed birth control without parental consent. Your parent will never know and your doctor or pharmacist cannot tell them as under the law they are not allowed to disclose any medical information without your written permission as it pertains to anything concerning your reproductive system.
I would suggest if you wish to continue to be sexually active you get on birth control. Also you have your partner wear a condom until such time as you are an adult in a long term committed relationship. Condoms are not only for birth control but they are also effective in preventing transmission of many STD and the HIV/AIDS virus.
When I was your age the girls had a saying. NO rubber no LOVER. I would suggest you adopt that saying. A condom and birth control medication make it almost 100% effective against unwanted pregnancy.

No you would not have miscarried this early. It could be an after effect of the period, (it happens) or you may need to get checked up by your doctor if this continues.
