A member asked:

I had my period and then had protected sex and i'm on the pill and now i have pinkish discharge?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Breakthrough : This likely represents breakthrough bleeding as opposes to pregnancy. If you miss your period then consider a test of you miss it. Otherwise this is likely due to breakthrough. If you're on a lower estrogen dose (20mcg) then this is more common.
