Had protected sex 4 days after my last period. now my period is 4 days late but i am having brown discharge. could this mean im pregnant?

Specializes in Gynecology

It is possible: It is possible. But if you are sure that it was a protected sex then the likelihood is less. It might be just initiation of your period. If there was no period for the next 10 days check with a pregnancy test. Vaginal infection is another possibility.

Dr Ali and another doctor agreed
