Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I had intercourse after 15 days of my period and the condom tore and he finished inside me. I took an I-pill (plan B) after an hour. A few hours later I started bleeding with white discharge and it was hurting a lot (probably because it was my first time). I panicked and the next day I took an unwanted 72, again I started bleeding on that day too. After five days I noticed a weird kind of discharge (unusual), it was transparent and thick, and it persisted for a few days. After a few days, one night it was cramping badly. I thought it was my period as it seemed like I was bleeding but as it began I started to notice it was thin and brown. As time passed the cramps became much less, the flow decreased a lot and two days later it stopped. As far as I observed I think it was implantation bleeding. From the next day, there was very little bleeding like a few drops per day. Now, I feel like vomiting and frustrated or agitated. I am panicking thinking I might be pregnant. I am only 20 and my parents are strict. I do not know what to do. Right now I am thinking about abortion pills as it is not too late. Kindly suggest.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

As the intercourse was on the 18th day of the menstrual cycle. It is supposed to be safe, as you have already taken emergency pills twice within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse. Bleeding and pain four to five hours after intercourse were due to friction injuries during intercourse. Bleeding after a few days for two days seems to be withdrawal bleeding. You can expect normal periods in the next seven to ten days. I hope you find this information helpful.

Thank you.
