Had Unprotected Sex, White Cervical Mucus Discharge. Taken Nordette. Can I Get Pregnant?
Hi i am on a regular 30-32days cycle. My bf and i had unprotected sex on 25th and 26th day of my cycle. Based on my calendar and thinking it was my safe days, i let him cum inside me. The next day 27th day of my cycle, i noticed egg white cervical mucus which i often see on my fertile days and ovulation day. I panicked and thought that i might have ovulated late so the next day 28th day of my cycle, 6 15 am i took 4 pills of nordette and another 4 pills after 12 hours... Do you think i ovulated late? Can i get pregnant if i drank nordette on the a day after or the day of my ovulation day? Im so scared though... My period is due today 3 days after i took nordette... But it didnt come... Am i pregnant? Please help me

Hello,
First of all, you did unprotected sex in safe period. Additionally, you took nordette tab which gives some extra protection. Here, chance of being pregnant is almost nil literally.
Some women may experience white discharge prior to period. It occurs due to progesterone hormone and is quite normal. You will get a withdrawal bleeding, similar to period within 7-10 days. But next cycle may be delayed due to hormonal imbalance.
Maintain genital hygiene and practice safe sex in future. Good luck.

Hello, I would be happy to help you with your question.
First of all, the egg white mucous might have just been semen leaking out by the next day. Given your regular cycles, it is unlikely that you ovulated as late as you did, but it is impossible to say for certain. Emergency contraception is effective when taken within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse. Also, when you take emergency contraception, it has the effect of delaying ovulation (if it has not occurred yet) and if taken later in the cycle, it will delay your period. Do not panic, but you need to take a pregnancy test now and again in about 3 weeks. If negative both times, then you are not pregnant.
I hope that this helps and good luck!

Hi, Thanks for using HCM.
Since you had regular periods, the chance of becoming pregnant is less as it was in safe period, be we can't exclude delay in ovulation. Since you had taken emergency contraceptive pills also I advice you to wait for few days. There may be delay in periods due to anxiety also or due to hormonal imbalance. If it is delayse much then get done one UPT to rule out pregnancy and USG abdomen and pelvis for the diagnosis. Now be relaxed and wait for few days. Consult your doctor for further examination and management.
Hope I answered your question. Feel free to ask me if you have any further queries.
Wish you good health. Take care.
Regards

hello,
thank you for your question
i red your problem carefully , well from that it seems chances of being pregnant is less in your situation .. you have regular cycle so chances of late ovulation are less.. plus white thick discharge can come after few days of ovulation during your luteal phase of cycle in simple language luteal phase is last 10 to 12 days of cycle when uterus gets ripe..
now even if we consider that you ovulated late and had unprotected sex still chances of being pregnant are very less becuase you took nordette at right time in right amount ,that is wise of you..
but still if you are worried you can go for UPT but it can give false result in early stage
beta hcg level or sonography of pelvis and abdomen will be helpful in early stages
hope this information helped you.. take care..

most likely you are not pregnant, even if you got, it will not get implanted as you have taken emergency contraception.
now delay might be due to stress.
be calm
wish you good health
