Now a week after I took this pill, I was getting this brown discharge , not a lot, mixed with new blood and it has been going on for a week and 3 days now. I took a pregnancy test and it said I was not pregnant. When will this go away!

Hi,
Thanks for the query.
Emergency contraceptive pill can alter the menstrual cycle because of high dose of hormone in it.
It can lead to withdrawal bleeding after taking the pill.
So, possibly the spotting you are having could be a side effect of the pill.
As you took the pill within 72 hours, the possibility of pregnancy is less.
Repeated usage of emergency pills can increase the hormonal imbalance and can affect menstrual cycles and fertility.
So, once consult gynecologist and take tablets to control the bleeding.
Then better to go for some regular method of contraception.
Take care.

Hi,
What you experience now is the withdrawal bleeding seen after the emergency pill intake. Usually it subsides within a couple of days. Your next normal period also may get delayed by a week or two and if you do not see your next period by then, you should see a specialist for further help. Pre-ejaculate is sufficient to cause conception in an unprotected intercourse around the time of ovulation; yet as you have taken the pill, you are safe. Do not use the pill more than a couple of times a year as it can lead to serious cycle disturbances. Hope this helps.
