Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I had nonpenetrative sex with my partner using a condom. But, after removing the condom, he ejaculated a little near my genitals outside my vagina. I took the I-pill within 48 hours and got my period after one week. My periods usually lie in the same week, but it is irregular sometimes. I took a urine pregnancy test after my period, and it was negative. I also took a beta-hCG test 17 days after the sexual activity, and it was negative. Are these results accurate, or should I test again? Kindly suggest.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern. There is no chance of pregnancy as you had your periods after the sexual activity. Withdrawal bleeding is a side effect of the i-pill (Levonorgestrel), and it can happen due to sudden withdrawal of hormones from your body, but it is less common. You may have menstrual irregularities, which could be due to hormonal imbalance caused by an I-pill. As you took the I-pill on time, there is almost no chance of pregnancy. Your beta-hCG (human chorionic gonadotrophin) levels are low, and you are not pregnant. Also, beta-hCG after the 17th day of sex is accurate.
I hope this helps you.
Thank you.

Hi doctor,
Thank you for your reply.
Is it sure that I am not pregnant? When can I expect my next period? Kindly suggest.
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern. The chances of pregnancy are rare, and you may get your next period on time or delayed by 10 to 14 days as you are on an I-pill.
I hope this helps you.
Thank you.
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I took another beta hCG test 24 days after intercourse and got beta hCG levels of 2.15 mIU/mL. Is an increase in beta hCG levels in ten days from 2 to 3 mIU/mL normal? or Is there any chance of pregnancy?
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
As your blood beta hCG test is negative, there is no chance of pregnancy in your case. The level of beta hCG variation could be there but as the value is below 5 mIU/mL, it is considered normal. So no need to worry about it, you are not pregnant
Thank you.
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
It increased from 2 to 3 mIU/mL within 10 days. Is that normal? Did the test on the 28th day after intercourse completely rule out pregnancy? No need to retest? I also have white discharge sometimes, why?
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
Beta hCG value from 2 to 3 mIU/mL does not matter. There is no chance of pregnancy in your case.
Thank you.
