default
Posted on Mon, 18 Jul 2016
Question: Hi.
After having un protected s** , I had taken ipill within 48 hours . After around 10 days I am having little brown discharge . The next I had red discharge and now a small amount of brown on 3rd day. Is it normal to have such discharge or is it a sign of pregnancy and do I need to take any pregnancy test ?

Brief Answer:
it would depend on your Last menstrual period

Detailed Answer:
Hi there,
Welcome to HCM,

Please let me know when was your last period and at what time of your cycle did you take the Ipill.

When we're you expecting your next period? Are your periods otherwise regular?

Generally we do urine pregnancy test 3 weeks after taking I Pill.

Hope this helps.
Regards.

Brief Answer:
do UPT today

Detailed Answer:
That means you should have got your regular period by now, if you have a 28 day cycle.

Do a urine pregnancy test today and if negative repeat again after a week.

This should confirm that you are not pregnant.

Do not take I pill so frequently.

And consider another long term contraception to avoid use of I pill.

The first period after I pill can be erratic and not feel like your regular period due to the hormonal change caused by I pill.

Ok. And one more clarification .
During unprotected s** no ejaculate was done. So is it possible to be pregnant when no ejaculate was done and also ipill was consumed?

Brief Answer:
very unlikely

Detailed Answer:
Very very unlikely that you are pregnant, as if taken within 72 hours, Ipill is 99.8% effective.
