What Causes Dark Jelly Like Spotting After Taking Norlevo Contraceptive?
I had unprotected sex on the 31st July and took an emergency contraceptive (norlevo) within 12 hours afterwards. I got what I thought was my period on 5th August (which was around the expected time of my cycle), but it was fairly light and a brown/almost black colour, as well as a dark black jelly-like part of blood. this lasted few hours and then completely stopped. the next day, 6th August, I got my period which lasted 8 days and finished on 14th August, which seemed pretty normal in amount of blood but the colour was more brownish this time which is a bit unusual for me. continuing from 15th August up to and including today I have had a brown discharge, which is only really light and not constant. is this normal.? I m not sure if I should be concerned or if I need to/should take a pregnancy test.? are these just effects on my cycle from taking norlevo.?
The symptoms seem to be related to side effects of Norlevo pills. Although not a common side effect, the hormones in the pills can cause bleeding at unexpected times. If that is the cause of your bleeding, it is not dangerous and you should expect it to go away by itself after you get your next period.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
