Is Pregnancy Possible Despite Taking Plan B After Unprotected Intercourse?
i had unprotected sex with my boyfriend on day 23 of my cycle and he did cum in me. about 8 hours later i took a plan b pill. i have brown discharge that doesn t even fill a light tampon and my period was due 3 days ago. i also took 2 pregnancy tests 2 days apart which were both negative so i m confused..
It is still too early for the urine pregnancy test to be fully reliable, and I would wait another week and retest again. You took the pill early at an ideal time, so your risk of being pregnant is relatively low. The pill also has the tendency to upset the normal menstrual cycle, so it is possible that this is why you are only having light discharge now.
Having said that, no contraception is 100% effective, so if by next week you still don't get your normal periods, test your urine again, or get yourself to your local doctor's for a beta-hcGblood test, which is a lot more accurate.
Regards, Dr. Teh
