Is The Brown Color Discharge Due To Pregnancy?

Ok so I m little worried. Me and my partner both had sex on Sunday (the one that just went) and I m worried that I m pregnant. We didnt use a condom because I m on Loestrin 20 pill and I thought that would protect me, but this morning my discharge was a light brown colour. I just wanted to get some answers as I m starting to worry.

Hello dear
I understand your concern
You are on loestrin 20, birth control pill.
It is highly effective in preventing pregnancy. It has just 0.5% failure rate.
So chance of pregnancy is rare.
Brown discharge could be a cervical mucus mixed with blood, hormonal imbalance, ovulation, premenstrual symptoms, side effect of pill.
Brown discharge is not definitive sign of pregnancy.
Absence period is most common and confirmatory symptoms of pregnancy.
So if your period will delay by more than 7 days from your normal expected period date then go for urine pregnancy test and or blood HCG test to confirm pregnancy.
Meanwhile avoid stress, take healthy diet, drink plenty of water, maintain proper pelvic hygiene and do regular exercise
Hope this may help you

Contact further if follow up needed
Best regards
