I had unprotected sex 40 days ago. I had my menstrual period three days before having unprotected sex and it lasted for 3 days. A week ago, I took Meprate, and I experienced severe cramps with dark blood clots, but the bleeding is not heavy. My home pregnancy test came back negative. Could I still be pregnant?

Question

Dr. Mohammed Kamran · Accepted Answer

Since you had unprotected sex 40 days ago and your home pregnancy test is negative, pregnancy is unlikely, especially after getting bleeding with clots after taking Meprate. Meprate induces withdrawal bleeding, which confirms you are not pregnant in most cases. The dark clots and cramps are common with hormone induced periods and will settle in a few days. If heavy bleeding or severe pain continues, consult your doctor. For reassurance, you can book a Serum Beta hCG test to confirm pregnancy status accurately.
