hello,

Taking I-pill within first 24 hrs following unprotected sex gives protection more than 95% against unwanted pregnancy.

Brownish discharge with clots may indicate early sign of miscarriage. Other reasons are hormonal imbalance, vaginal infection, old blood/ endometrial tissue etc.

Here, you need to undergo one blood test for beta-hcg to rule out conception if any. TVS scan is also helpful in early stage.

You consult with gynecologist following test report. Practice safe sex in future.

Good luck.
