I had my last periods on 6th of April. Also, I've been taking homoepathic medicine for my PCOS. So on an average my cycle is now of 35 days. Could you please tell me the chances of me being pregnant? Also, for how long the spotting can continue?
Brief Answer:
As below.
Detailed Answer:
SO when you had sex on 21st of May, your cycle was already delayed by 15 days, so chances are very low that you would be ovulating.
So chances of your being pregnant are less than 5 %.
The spotting, if it is due to the I pill will last for 3 - 5 days at the most.
If it is due to PCOS, it may last longer or progress into a proper period.
As below.

And from when can i continue with my medicines of PCOS?
Brief Answer:
Take a test 3 weeks after unprotected sex.
Detailed Answer:
You can keep taking your medication for PCOS, but in my opinion, homeopathic treatment does not work for that.
If overweight, you need to lose weight, else start Metformin.
Also, you can safely take a pregnancy test 3 weeks after unprotected sex, if you do not have your period by then.
You can reach me directly anytime using the following link -

Hello ma'am. I just realized that my last period was on 6th of May and not on 6th of April. Could I be pregnant as it maybe my ovulation period? Also after the intercourse I got a white discharge for few days . What could that be? The discharge was white and dry. And turned into clear water just before the spotting.
Brief Answer:
As below
Detailed Answer:
That makes 21st of May likely to be around your ovulation time.
But still the I pill keeps you protected, so do not worry.
White discharge is normal during this phase of the menstrual cycle.
I would just ask you to take a test 3 weeks after the unprotected sex occurred, that is the most reliable way to rule out a pregnancy.

Not yet stopped, but certainly less than before. If it does not stop am I supposed to take any action? Can you please tell me any medicine by which I can get my periods early? I want it to come soon as I don't want to carry the burden of risk for any longer.
Brief Answer:
As below.
Detailed Answer:
See, the I pill can cause your period to come earlier than normal, and because of the I pill, the bleeding can be lighter than normal too.
So this just might be your period, earlier and lighter than normal.
Just take a pregnancy test 3 weeks after unprotected sex, and wait and watch for your cycles.
Please dont take any more hormones, it will further mess up your cycles.
