Patient's question:
On December 12th, I had my period. On the 22nd, I had unprotected sex. On the 23rd, I took emergency contraception pills. On the 30th, I had vaginal bleeding, which was less than my normal period amount, brown in color, and stopped after three days. On January 5th, in the morning, I used a test strip and did two tests, which both showed negative. Today is already the 12th, but my period hasn't arrived yet. My periods are usually regular, so could I still be pregnant with vaginal bleeding?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, experiencing withdrawal bleeding again after taking emergency contraception is not a big deal. If the blood flow is light, don't overthink it. It's too early for 1.5, even if you were pregnant, you wouldn't be able to detect it. I suggest you don't worry. Since you've experienced withdrawal bleeding again, it should definitely not indicate pregnancy. However, emergency contraception may still cause menstrual disorders, so it's best to wait and consult a doctor. The daily treatment for gynecological patients mainly focuses on symptomatic treatment. Patients can take many oral medications, supplement with various vitamins, and pay attention to regular sleep patterns, as well as avoiding alcohol.
