What Does Brown Discharge After Taking Contraceptive Pill Suggest?

I had unprotected sex on May 2 and took the emergency contraceptive Next Step One Dose about 3 hours later. Now today is May 7 and I am currently experiencing dark brown discharge that is not faint. My period has been very irregular the past six months and I have missed two period so far, it is also that time for my period to come. I also read online that some E.C s don t work in women that are overweight (which I am considered, I am 5 3 and 170 lbs). Is it signs of implantation or my period that I am experiencing?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello and thanks for your query.

I shall make an effort to provide you with good professional recommendations specific to your questions.
After taking post coital pills bleeding occurs within 4 to 5 days but may vary in individual. This might be the bleeding that you are experiencing now. It also indicate that you are less likely to be pregnant.
It is advisable that you should go for the ultra sound (USG) on 14 th day of consumption of pill to rule out any incomplete abortion.
So i advice you to see doctor after 2 week of the post coital pill for examination and USG.

Yet again, I duly appreciate your query to me, I do hope that you have found something useful to help you and I shall be glad to answer any further apprehensions.

Sincerely,
I find this answer helpful
