Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I had my last period twenty days before. Ten days back, I had protected sex. And four days before, I started to bleed again. I took an I-pill too. But I do not know if it is a period bleeding or implantation bleeding. My partner had watery semen this time, but it never happened like this before. Also, I have a history of PCOD. I just wanted to know if there is any chance of pregnancy? Should I be worried or concerned about it?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

The bleeding could be due to hormonal changes. Since you had protected sex, there is no chance of pregnancy. So relax and do not worry. However, if you have a doubt, then get back to me. Take care.

Patient's Query

Thanks for the reply, doctor,

I am not having the bleeding as it happens in my regular period. The blood and the clots are there, but I do not have pain, and the flow is not visible in the pad. Is it acceptable to happen like this? I took the I-pill the same day, but I am not sure if it worked this time.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Since you have taken an emergency pill within seventy-two hours of intercourse, there is no chance of pregnancy. The bleeding could be due to hormonal changes because of the I-pill (Levonorgestrel) that you took. However, if you doubt, then get yourself checked by a gynecologist and get a pelvic scan done to rule out the exact cause. Do get back to me with reports so that I can guide you further. Take care.
