What Causes Overdue Of Periods And Brownish Discharge At The Time Of Periods?

default
Posted on Mon, 23 Jun 2014
Question: Had unprotected sex (was sort of inconsistently taking my pill) may 3rd, took plan b may 4th therefore within 24 hours. Had no symptoms at all. Period was due for May 16th/17th but around this time I had kind of a brown discharge. So two weeks after intercourse/taking plan b, May 20th to be exact, I took two preg tests (1 home, 1 at gynecologist) both negative. I wonder if the light bleeding/ brown discharge was my period since it occurred around when I usually should get my period? Also I am still very bloated. Am I am now over 2 weeks late if the light bleeding didn't count as my period?

Brief Answer:
Tubal ectopic pregnancy can be there- USG NEEDED

Detailed Answer:
Hello mam, thanks for trusting health care magic.
Looking at your history in my opinion you should get a pelvic ultrasound done and tell your complete history.
Overdue of periods, unprotected sex and brownish discharge at the time of periods can be due to only 2 things viz-
- tubal ectopic pregnancy
- irregularities in period due to progesterone in plan B.
Normal ultrasound will suggest that problem is due to progesterone and nothing else but in case ectopic pregnancy is seen then visit your gynecologist as soon as possible.
Wish you all the best.
