Can I Be Pregnant If Had Unprotected Sex After Taking Pill, Having Light Brown Discharge, Cramping?
I m sexually active with my husband. I skipped over my sugar pills in my birth control and started a new pack. After taking one pill I had unprotected sex and forgot to take my pill that night. I now have light cramping and a light brown discharge. Am I pregnant?
Hello, I would be happy to help you with your question.
If you were taking the pills regularly, and had unprotected intercourse on the same night that you forgot a pill then I believe that your risk of pregnancy is NOT increased (though it is not zero). The light brown discharge is likely related to a small amount of bleeding related to intercourse itself AND missing a pill. Make sure that you check a pregnancy test about 2-3 weeks after this episode and use condoms for the next month.
I hope that this helps and good luck!
