A member asked:

I had unprotected sex 18d ago on my first day of period and took morning after pill right away. now i'm ovulating and having brown discharge.whatisit?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Reaction to pill: The brownish discharge is old blood and likely a reaction to morning after pill. Unprotected sex can lead to sexually t transmitted disease as well. That discharge is not typical but one can acquire diseases without symptoms. Use condoms for prevention. See a doctor about that.
