Took Nordet As ECP, Nausea, Dizziness, Brown Discharge. What Does It Imply?

Hi, I took nordette as ECP exactly last oct 13, 5hrs right after unprotected sex and 12 hrs after first dose. Last sunday, exactly 7 days since i took the pill, I had brown discharge until today. It s been 3 days already. My next period is due next week. Around 27-31 since I had my last period last sept 29. What does the brown discharge imply? I also experience nausea , diziness, tenderness of breats.. Am I pregnant? I took PT out of anxiousness and it turned out negative. I d appreciate any response. Thank you.

Hello,

NORDETTE is used as ECP in some country while no alternative drug is available. It gives protection more than 95% against unwanted pregnancy when it is taken within first 24hrs with proper dose.

Next, you got withdrawal bleeding after 7 days due to effect of the pill and it is quite common & normal phenomena. Other possibility is implantation bleeding in the failure of ECP which can occur 1 week prior to period due date.

Early pregnancy test is not significant. You have to wait for coming period and repeat the pregnancy test soon after missed period and after 1 week for confirmation.

Based on test result, you must consult with your local doctor for next line management. Till then, you would maintain genital hygiene. Good luck.
