Is White Vaginal Discharge A Side Effect Of Emergency Pill?

Had unprotected sex, taken plan b emergency pill within one hour, after 4 days there is white (slightly clumpy) discharge on my underwear. Is this a side effect? Did the pill take effect? Also could it be sperm leakage, and if so could there be a pregnancy from this discharge? Should I take another pill to be safe?

Hello,

White discharge is thickened cervical mucus which occurs due to the hormonal effects of the emergency pill. It is not indicative of pregnancy. There is nothing to be worried about.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
