Yes. The emergency pill Levonorgestrel may be consumed within 72 hours keeping in mind there may be mild bleeding after 2-3 days. Avoid frequent usage of this drug because it has bad effects on your cycle and your general heath. Use a condom or be on the combined pill.

I am an eighteen year old female who has been on birth control (pills) for about three years now. I had sex last night and the condom broke, so we went and got Next Choice. I used it within half an hour of buying it. Is there a high rate for it working? I know that they say the sooner you use it the better.

I'm definitely not sexually active, but yesterday I found this purplish brownish discharge in my underwear. I'm supposed to start my period in about a week and am on birth control for my migraines. I put a tampon in and took it out later to see if I could figure out if it was blood or whatever it was. But it didn't smell right or look right. When I put it in the toilet it filled up with water and definitely showed that it was, in fact, a purple. Could you tell me what it possibly is? Maybe a side effect of the sronyx(the birth control I'm using)? I'm going off of that soon because of other side effects, so is that a possibility?
I've been having dark brown discharge about a week before my period. I am on birth control, I take the pills. Sometimes I take it a couple hours later than I should and I sex with my boyfriend. I had sex with my boyfriend when I was supposed to start my period in May but it never came because I spotted in the middle and had switched birth controls. I then had sex with him again but when I was on the pill on the 15th and he did NOT cum inside of me. Could I be pregnant?
