Got Some Brown Discharge After Taking Of Levonelle. Can I Be Pregnant ?
Hi there, Two weeks ago I unfortunatly had to take Levonelle as the method of contraception my partner and I were using failed. My period arrived on time, however it normally lasts for five days. This time it was three. I also seem to have some brown discharge which is unusual for me. Over the past six months my periods have become lighter. I started when I was 11, and spent the majority of my teens with very heavy periods. I am now 24, do periods change with age? or stress? I have taken two at home pregnancy tests , both of which were negative. Considering the unprotected sex was only two weeks ago, is this too soon for a result?

Most women have period at the usual time, but period can also come earlier or later than usual. You might also have some irregular bleeding or spotting until your next period.
Some women do have side effects after taking Levonelle, One Step such as breast tenderness, headaches, stomach pains, diarrhea, feeling dizzy or feeling tired. These symptoms are usually minor and should get better after a few days.Disclaimer
