What Does White Vaginal Discharge Indicate?
I had sex with my boyfriend Saturday night at approximately 8 pm , we didn t use protection and he cummed inside of me . The next day I went to buy some emergency contraception pills . (take action) the pharmacist told me they work just as fine as plan b . I took the pill as soon as I got home around 7pm the day after I took the pills I realized white mucus coming out of my vigina . could this mean I m pregnant? What are the chances of me being pregnant ? Please help

Hi,
You had taken emergency contraceptive after 48 hours of sex. i-Pills work till the pills are taken within 72 hours of sex. Hence, your chances of conception are least. The white discharge you get could be side effect of high hormonal dose you had received / it can the the semen along with cervical discharge being expelled out.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hello,
Since you took emergency contraceptive pills within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse, your chances of getting pregnant is low. White vaginal discharge can be due to estrogen surge. However, if you are not planning for a baby, you should take regular contraceptive pills to stay on the safer side. You should get your periods. In case you miss it, you should get pregnancy test done with the first, morning mid stream urine. You will be accordingly managed. Meet a gynecologist about this.
