Did Not Start Taking Loestrin Until Periods Stopped, Had Unprotected Sex. Breast Pain And Pain, White Discharge

Hi, I didn t realize you were suppose to start taking lo estrin during your period and didn t start taking them until the sunday after my period stopped. I had unprotected sex a week after I started my pills. Now my breasts hurt and are tender and I have a creamy white discharge with a slight pink tinge? Uh oh?? Did I mess up and could be pregnant?

hello,
welcome to HCM.
Loestrin 24 fe is low dose 21 days OCP.It is to be taken from D5 to D25 or after period stop for continuous 21 days on regular schedule basis. Then 7 days off and you get period in this time.
It gives protection more than 99%.
Do a Urine test for hcg after 1 wk of missed period or do a USG pelvis to rule out underlying pathology.
Check test reports and consult with your doctor. If negative all thing,start a new pack and take regularly.
Practice safe sex in future. Be well.
