Dark Brown Discharge And Slight Cramping After Unprotected Sex Followed By Intake Of Contraceptive Pill. Chances Of Pregnancy?

Hi. This is embarassing but, I had unprotected sex on August 4th and took emergency contraception the next day. I started my period a week early on August 10th and it ended August 15th. On August 16th, the condom broke so I took emergency contraception again the next day. Now I am having very light dark brown discharge and slight cramping...... what are the chances I am pregnant? I am scared to death.

Hello,
Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
I had gone through your query and understand your concerns.

I suspect it is a nothing but a ovulation spotting.
You do not need to worry about this ovulation spotting.

Ovulation is sometimes associated with brown discharge and abdominal cramping.
These ovulation spotting is due is to changes in hormones at the time or rupture of matured follicle in ovary.

It usually lasts for one or two days.
It is usually accompanied with mild cramping
It is the period where you are very fertile as the eggs are released for follicle.
If you have any intercourse at this time without any contraception, it will lead to fertilization and pregnancy.

If you are still not convinced,check HPT after a week.

Hope this helps.If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Regards,
Dr.Manjeth.
