Hi. I m 21 and have been off my birth control for about 8-9 months. Me and my boyfriend never use protection and have been dating 7 months. I am 23 days late on my period but tonight I had this orange creamy discharge. Can you help me? Idk what it means.
I have read your question completely and understand your concerns.
How were your periods since you stopped the pill? The orange discharge can be due to a delayed period.
As you are not on any contraception and had unprotected intercourse, there are chances that you could be pregnant. the orange discharge could be due to spotting of early pregnancy.
I would suggest you to do a pregnancy test. If positive I would suggest you to see your doctor as any bleeding/spotting in early pregnancy should be first assessed properly by a doctor to rule out any miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy.
if your pregnancy test is negative, then you could wait for the period to come on its own, or take a hormonal preparation to see a withdrawal bleed.
I hope this answer has helped you
Thank you
Regards
