I had my period for six days. On the 9th day after my period, we had protected intercourse, but due to some confusion, I took an ipill within 48 hours. I experienced a small amount of brown discharge with some clots and abdominal pain, for which I used a sanitary napkin. I took a urine pregnancy test after the brown discharge, and it was negative. Could I still be pregnant?

Since you had protected sex and took an IPill within 48 hours, the chance of pregnancy is very low. The brown discharge with clots and pain is likely a side effect of the pill, not implantation bleeding. Your urine test was negative, which is a good sign. For full peace of mind, you can repeat the urine test after a few more days or take a Beta HCG test for confirmation.

On 2nd July, I had some grinding with my boyfriend where there was precum on his tip, but there was no penetration or ejaculation. I got my period on 8th July, which ended on 13th July. On 16th July, I took a urine pregnancy test and it was negative. I am a virgin. What are the chances of me being pregnant? Should I take another pregnancy test, and if yes, when?
