What Causes Yellowish Discharge After Taking I-pill?

Posted on Fri, 24 Oct 2014

Question: My wife and I had sex during her ovulation. She took I-pill within the next 10 hour after the intercourse. Its been 9 days she took the I Pill now. She was getting a yellowish mucus for recently, then whitish mucus. Her menses were due on the 21st.

Can you please us here?

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for writing to us again.

She should wait for a few more days.

Yellowish and whitish mucous discharge are due to side effect of an I-Pill.

As you stated before that her last menstrual period is 31 august and you had sex around her ovulation (20 September) than her expected period date is after 30 th September.

So ideally she should wait for 7 days after her missed period.

If she will not resume her period than she should get for a home urine pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy.

I-pill can also delay the menses for 1-2 weeks.

Hope I have answered your query if you have further question I will be happy to help you.

Good luck.
Regards
