Q: 

Can you get pregnant during withdrawal bleeding?

I had sex during withdrawal bleeding. This withdrawal bleeding was due to the fact that I took Nordette as ECP 5 days prior to said bleeding. Anyway, this withdrawal bleeding was heavy, bright red and lasted for 3 days, pretty much like my real period.

Do I have a big chance of being pregnant?

Help because I'm clueless.

Me and my four-year boyfriend had our first sex last November 3, morning and it is unprotected but he used the withdrawal method. I'm so paranoid and my mind is playing tricks on me, so I searched online. My mens last October is from October 18-20. I took Trust Pills last November 7, and I got my withdrawal bleeding last November 13. My withdrawal bleeding is still on-going and this morning (Nov 15), we had unprotected sex again. Btw, the time I had my bleeding was the same day that I was supposed to have my period. What are your recommendations? Is it safe to have unprotected sex since my bleeding is still on-going? It's the 3rd day. Do I need to take Trust pills again? Help. I need it asap. Pleaseee :(

Im sorry for the inconveniece guys but would you care to answer this problem I'm facing right now?

So i took nordette back in Dec. 29 and then I had a sex with my bf while im on my withdrawal bleeding at around Jan. 12 . My bleed ended and I had a drunk night wth my man at our monthsary on the 17th and he came in me. I was afraid since the bleeding already stopped so I drank another dosage of nordette which was the 4 tabs. Then another after 12 hrs. Suddenly at around the 21st, I again had an unprotected sex with my boyfriend unprepared so condoms were not there so is the BCP. My withdrawal bleeding still hasnt come and Im terrified if I will get pregnant or what. Also I had a trouble time thinking if I should drink another dose of Nordette or not. Please i really do hope i wont get pregnant. Also if ever i would buy Bcp, what brand is it and for the Ecp, How long does it keep one protected from getting pregnant? Please help me..

Hey guys so I really am in an emergency for this hoping you could help me out.

So i took a EMERGENCY CONTROL PILL called NORDETTE back when i had an unprotected sex with my boyfriend. Suddenly when I WAS DURING MY FIRST DAY of withdrawal bleeding, my boyfriend got drunk and we had sex at that time. And he came inside me. i was wondering what should i do. WILL I GET PREGNANT? SHOULD I TAKE ANOTHER SET OF ECP ? Please help me.

Hello Anonymous,

Do not take another dose of Nordette. If you were having withdrawal bleeding when you had sex again, there was no risk for becoming pregnant.

Regards,
Maryann
