I know when my period will come which is 5 days from now but today I got a little blood mix together with my leukorrhea. The blood came out only a little not look like my normal period , its came out since yesterday. Should I concern pregnant? Or should I see doctor?

Brief Answer:
Earlyer bleeding normal after postinor

Detailed Answer:
Dear Patient,

an earlyer or later bleeding than the normal period can be normal after taking the posterior pill.
It will avoid pregnancy by "only" 84%, so if in the next few days more unusual bleedings come up it is best to see a local gyn to check on it. But most likely it has worked successfully and your cycle is starting a little earlyer.

Best regards,

Brief Answer:
Chances of ectopic pregnancy very slim after postinor

Detailed Answer:
Dear patient,

even though it can't be 100% guaranteed since nature sometimes is unpredictable but: it is very unlikely o have ectopic pergnancy after postinor, because it reduces the risk of thah through reducing pregnancy chances in general.
If there is any unnormal continuing symptoms like prolongened or strong bleedings or pain i usually advise ultrasound of female reproductive organs and pregnancy test just to make sure.

Best regards again
