What Causes Heavy Bleeding After Using Evra Patch?

I got a IUD taken out the 21st of Oct. Started my period and started on the Evra patch that same day. I had really heavy bleeding so i stopped using the patch Nov. 1st. I had unprotected sex the 3rd and now i have thick white discharge like i did with my first pregnancy. Could i be pregnant even if i was bleeding and had been on the patch 2 days before i had unprotected sex?

Hello
thank you for asking the question.
you were on IUD. once you remove it bleeding may occur in many cases. so don't worry about bleeding.
you had used evra patch but due to bleeding you stopped it. so if bleeding is continues then pregnancy doesn't occur because implantation can not take place.
so no need to worry about pregnancy. once bleeding stops then start using the patch to prevent pregnancy.
white discharge is also occur along with bleeding sometimes.
hope this will helpful to you.
