Question: Hi doc, 6 weeks after childbirth my partner and I had unprotected sex. I took the morning after pill 12 hours after. I had slight spotting 3 weeks later, another 3 weeks have passed and I am having some light pink/red creamy discharge. I am not breastfeeding. What are the chances of me being pregnant?

Brief Answer:
Unlikely at this time but pregnacy test would help

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

The risk of becoming pregnant after unprotected sex is real. However, barely six weeks after putting to birth would be very unlikely. The fact that you also took morning after pill makes the chances even further lower. To be on the safe side and keep every doubt away, I will suggest that you do a rapid home pregnancy test to address this. The results would provide certainty and aid in any further decision making. In reality, pregnancy is very very unlikely at this time considering all the information you have provided.

Please, if you do not want to get pregnant, ,take measure to protect yourself. We have hormonal methods and condoms. Talk to your OBGYN about your options and make a choose for yourself.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
