What Causes Vaginal Bleeding After Taking Diane ?

Posted on Tue, 27 May 2014

Question: Hi. I took diane 35 pills but only for four days then i stopped coz i couldnt tolerate my nausea. 7 days after, i experienced bleeding like i was having my menstruation. I just had my menstruation 23rd of april, took diane35 during my first menstrual day, stopped taking 4 days after. 7 days later, i had these bleeding. my ovulation day was 6th of may, but still i had these bleeding. i had unprotected sexual intercouse with my partner on the 6th of may. because technically, it was my ovulation day, i took nordette (the white pill) 24 hours after. 4 pills as my first dose then 4 pills 12 hours after. will i still get pregnant? thank you.

Brief Answer:
Pregnancy not likely.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The bleeding that started 7 days after stopping the Diane 35 was a withdrawal bleeding. The ovulation is not likely to happen while you are bleeding as this causes a disturbance in the normal hormonal balance of the cycle.
Secondly you took 4 pills of nordette within 24 hours of the unprotected sex. This gives you more than 98% protection against the pregnancy.
Since you have taken the high dose hormonal pills for emergency contraception you may again get a withdrawal bleeding after a few days.
Your next period is likely to be delayed by 7-10 days as a side effect of the hormonal pills taken. Please do not worry. Pregnancy is extremely unlikely.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

should i expect my period 7-10days delayed from my last mentrual date? so my lmp was last april 23 and i should expect my next period this month around may 30 - XXXXXXX 2? is that right? another question. could i restart taking pills again? but im gonna take a different brand this time. lastly, so this means i am gonna have a withdrawal bleeding few days after taking nordette and i would still expect my regular period after? thank you.

Yes.

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
Yes. You got me right. The period is expected in 1st week of XXXXXXX You can start taking the pills again but that can be started only after your period starts.
Yes. You will have slight withdrawal bleeding after Nordette and then a normal delayed period.
Hope my answer is helpful.
