Question : Hi,

I had unprotected sex on 24th April. I am on the pill but have not been taking it exactly the right time, I had taken it for 5 days after having unprotected sex. I then stopped my packet 5 days later for m 7 day break. I stared having lots of white discharge which I have never had before and then had my withdrawal bleed.

1 week later I was having really bad headaches everyday and my hormones have been all over the place. I have also been getting mild cramps and this week been feeling really neauseas after eating and with loose stool also.

Is it possible I could still be pregnant even after having the withdrawal bleed?

Many thanks
XXXX

Brief Answer:
No possibility of pregnancy

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

Thank you for trusting us with your health concern

Since you had withdrawal breakthrough bleed, there is no possibility of pregnancy. You don't need to worry.
Cramps and loose stool might be stomach flu(viral gastoenteritis). Follow soft diet for next few days and stay well hydrated. The symptoms will subside by itself.

Hope this answers your question
Please let me know if you need further clarification
