Missed A Week Of Bc Pills, Had Unprotected Sex. Having Yellow Discharge, Back Pain, Cramps. Could I Be Pregnant ?
I missed about a week of bc pills and had unprotected sex. I stopped taking my bc 2 weeks ago and took a pregnancy test to be on the safe side and it was neg. For the past few days now I have been having an odorless yellow mucus like discharge, back pain, and what feels like period cramps that come and go. Could I be pregnant? Or would this just be due to my discontinuation of bc pills.

Hi,
As you did not use your pills properly in your previous cycle, your cycle was no longer protected and if you had unprotected intercourse during your fertile days, there is every chance that you could have conceived. To know for sure, you should test for pregnancy 3-7 days later if you miss a period with a fresh early morning sample of urine; for better confirmation you may get a blood test along with a trans-vaginal sonogram. The discharge you are experiencing may not be due to pregnancy; yellowish color suggests some infection which needs to be ruled out by a local exam; please see a specialist for further advice. Take care.

hello,
thank you for using healthcare magic,
well there are high chances of pregnancy as you discontinued pills and had unprotected sex..
home pregnancy test are not very reliable in early stages..
go for more confirmatory test like beta hcg level or ultrasound.. it will give you absolute result..
in future use birth control method..
