Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I had sex the next day after my period ended. Precum did touch my vagina. My periods started on the ninth of last month, and it ended on the fourteenth. I had sex on the fifteenth and took Unwanted 72 (contraceptive) on the seventeenth. After eight days, I experienced deep brown blood with mucus in my vaginal discharge. I found similar red blood discharge in the next two days. Along with this, I have PCOD, and my age is 18. What are my chances of pregnancy? And if there is, what should I do next?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern. The day you have mentioned having intercourse is among the least fertile days of your menstrual cycle. However, I recommend using protection to avoid unnecessary outcomes. The bleeding you mentioned might or might not be associated with your PCOD (polycystic ovarian syndrome) and more likely due to hormonal imbalance. If you are on any medications for PCOD, I suggest taking them as per your doctor's advice. Another thing you can do is regular exercise along with consuming healthy food. That helps in improving symptoms. Take a urine pregnancy test if you experience delayed periods for more than two to three weeks.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
