Posted on Fri, 30 Jan 2015
Question: My girlfriend has been on birth control for a few months now. Last month we had unprotected sex a couple times. On the day she was to start her peiod. A normal 28 day cycle all she had were cramps. No blood no discharge nothing. The next morning she woke up to brown discharge with very small amounts of blood. This was consistent but light for 2 days. After that nothing no cramps no bleeding no swollen/tendor breats no back pain, no signs of pregnancy. We are very scared and do not know I can only read so much. She is very scared and we are both at loss and on our next steps. We are not ready to be parents please help.

Brief Answer:
No chance of pregnancy

Detailed Answer:
Hi

I understand your concerns about possible pregnancy.

Since she was on birth control pills, there is no reason to worry and there is absolutely no possibility of a pregnancy.

Reduced bleeding is not a concern as the brown discharge with blood was her regular bleeding.
