Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I had my last period on the third of this month, and after 21 days, I got light bleeding. It continued for four days and contained red blood discharge, mucus, and blood. One week before bleeding, I had taken an I-pill and had sex using a condom. I took a urine test this morning while bleeding, but it was negative. While having sex, the off-white, thick, paste-like, and clumpy discharge had been seen near my vagina. Due to confusion and safety, I took an I-pill even though I had a condom. What will be the reason for this condition?

I did not have this issue earlier, but I had a D and C procedure one year ago, so my periods are sometimes irregular. I had taken three pregnancy tests at home while bleeding, but they turned out to be negative.

Kindly help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern regarding the incidence of spotting.

I can understand that you consumed an emergency contraceptive pill after intercourse. Usually, this pill can cause a withdrawal effect and lead to spotting and bleeding after consuming it within 10 days. So the spotting is due to the consumption of an emergency contraceptive pill.

The whitish discharge could be the normal discharge of the vagina during intimate time.

I suggest you wait for the next expected date to check for pregnancy. This early, you will not be able to see results by home kit.

I hope I have answered your question.

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards.
