What Causes Nausea, Brown Discharge After Having Unprotected Sex And Late Microgynon Pill?
Hi,
I had a late microgynon pill on Thursday morning (less than 12 hours late). A few hours later I had nausea & was slightly sick. After having some breakfast, I felt better just a little light headed. I had my pill that day & the days after that. However, Friday morning I had unprotected sex, then straight after I bled when going to the toilet. After a few wipes it was gone. The last couple of days I've had some brown discharge.
Is the nausea & discharge related? I'm guessing because my pill was late, but then I was sick.. I couldn't be pregnant though could I?
Thank you

Hi,
According to your History:
- As you have taken, the missed pill within 12 hours, the contraceptive effect will usually be maintained. And the possibility of pregnancy is less.
- Nausea can be a side effect of pill. General gastritis can also presents with nausea and sickness, can be relieved with food intake.
- The spotting after intercourse can be due to friction and injury to minor local blood vessels or due to withdrawal effect of delayed pill.
If at present you are not having any of these symptoms, no need to worry. You can continue your pills as per the schedule.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sree Gouri S. R., OBGYN
