Is light bleeding after ipill withdrawal safe from pregnancy?

Patient's Query

Me and my partner had outercourse on 24th may. No intercourse. No penetration. Only dry humping with my boyfriend wearing his tight boxers consistently. Out of fear I took a ipill on 26th may (within 48 hours) and I witnessed a light bleeding like periods on 3rd june till 8th june(6 days). Was it withdrawal bleeding? If so, then am I safe frm pregnancy. I had my last periods on 17th may, so when may I expect my next periods. Dr, I am suffering from anxiety regarding pregnancy chances, so I really seek your professional assurance.

Answered by Dr. Swapna Chekuri

The bleeding you experienced after taking the emergency contraceptive pill on 26th May is likely withdrawal bleeding, which can happen due to the hormonal changes triggered by the pill. This bleeding can mimic a period but is usually lighter and shorter. The fact that you had no actual intercourse and your partner was wearing tight boxers reduces the risk of pregnancy significantly. The bleeding you had also suggests that your body is responding to the emergency contraceptive. Given your last period was on 17th May, your cycle may be a bit irregular this month due to the emergency pill. You can expect your next period within 4-6 weeks from the start of the withdrawal bleeding. If you're concerned, a pregnancy test can offer further reassurance about your current status. If you need more guidance or support, don't hesitate to reach out to a gynecologist

Do I need to take any contraceptive pill if I had unprotected sex on the 2nd day of my period

Female | 21

Having sex without protection on the second day of your period usually means there is a decreased chance of becoming pregnant. During this time, the egg is less likely to be ready for fertilization. However, it is not impossible to get pregnant so if you want to be extra safe, you might want to take emergency contraception within 72 hours just in case.

Hi there, I’m a sexually active female for reference. I have been sexually active for 5 months now and have never had an issue with pain related to sex. This was until the last couple of days. My boyfriend and I had not seen each other in 3 weeks and I just returned home from my trip. We decided to celebrate by having sex. Our celebration ended when I started feeling this immense pain. My boyfriend believes that it could have been from there not being enough lubrication. This pain has continued tor 3 days now, even hurting while not having sex. Sex definitely heightens the pain and discomfort. We have not had sex sense the pain started because it hurts too bad. It even hurts when it is being rubbed. The pain is located surrounding the opening of my vagina, both inside and out, seemingly on the side furthest from my butt. Does that make sense? This is a concern of mine and I was wondering if there was a logical explanation and perhaps an at home treatment? Along the same lines, not sure if they are related. My vagina has been very itchy. I have not noticed any irregular discharge. What may be causing this and what can be done? Also, I just recently started two new supplements. I notice my vaginal discharged had an odor. I started the “Rae’s vaginal balance” supplement and the “Azo cranberry” supplement in hopes to rectify the situation. Is there a reason why I stink and what can I do to fix the issue?

I am 24 year old female. I have been facing vaginal itching, sometimes smelly discharge and itchy inner thighs since almost one year. It comes and goes.

Female | 24

Maybe you have a yeast infection. Symptoms such as itching, smelly discharge, and discomfort in the vaginal area are the common ones that affect women. Besides the vaginal region and inside the thighs, fungal infections can also affect the mouth, throat, and skin. The clothes can be attributed to such infections as well. Firstly, there are the unwanted side effects of some medications. Prevention of yeast infections should be made by cotton underwear while avoiding scented items to the extent that OTC antifungal creams should be used.
