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.

My periods are delayed by five days. I have not had unprotected penetrative sex. I took a urine pregnancy test, as advised by a doctor online, and it was negative. What should be the next step?

How many days after intercourse can a urine pregnancy test be done to get accurate results?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Hi, on the 17th day of my period I went for a follicular study. My doctor injected HCG 10000 for egg rupture on the 18th day. I assume my egg ruptured then, but we were not able to have intercourse. On the 19th day, the doctor confirmed that the egg had ruptured. Since I did not have intercourse on the 18th day when the egg ruptured, is there any chance of pregnancy?
