My boyfriend and I had unprotected sex last April 21 and we only used withdrawal method. At April 24, I took Nordette pills as ECP. During May 1, I had a brown discharge with kind of transparent sticky liquid for 3 days. It’s too heavy and not to light; but on the third day, I had to use a pantiliner because it becomes quite heavy and my brown discharge comes along with pinkish discharge a super little bit clot of blood. I’m suppose to have my period every 2^nd week of the month and now, it’s the 3^rd week and I’m still not having my period. Is that an implantational bleding or just a withdrawal bleeding? Am I pregnant? Please help me. I’m getting paranoid.

Hi Danisce,

Pregnancy is possible, even with any contraception, but mostly like it is due to the Nordette. Having irregular discharge or bleeding afterwards is common, and it may throw your period off at first as well. If you don't have a regular period in about a week, try a pregnancy test. If negative, wait and see what happens when you would expect your next period.

Be sure to use a regular form of contraception consistently to lessen the chance of an unplanned pregnancy as you don't want to rely on emergency contraception any more than necessary.
