Brief Answer:
pregnancy unlikely

Detailed Answer:
Hi there,
Welcome to HCM,

Very unlikely that you are pregnant.

Progesterone only pills are very unlikely to fail. They are 98% effective if taken correctly. Plus you have taken barrier contraception.

Discharge can be altered after taken Progesterone only pill so need not worry about it.

Hope this helps.
Regards.
