I had sex during the 3rd week of July which was around the same time I started taking birth control pills for the first time. I got my period the 1st of august and decided to take a pregnancy test on the 7th and 11th and both came out negative. But throughout this week I have been getting this wierd discharge with a white yellowish color. I have never had a discharge like this before so I'm wondering what it could be? Could it be an early pregnancy symptom?

If it were me in your situation, I would suggest you make an appointment with your favorite gynecologist. Just get checked out, make sure you don't have some kind of infection. I don't know if you are or could ne pregnant. Everyone is different, cycles are different ... just make sure everything is okay, make sure the doc or nurse explains the proper way to use your contraceptive. Stay until all of your questions are answered.
Peace and good luck,

Just to be sure you understand how birth control works. You should wait a full cycle before having unprotected sex. That is a given with any form of pill. Regardless of what the instructions say. I got pregnant during the first week because I didn't follow instructions. My ob/gyn told me he said a month and I know he said 7 days and then it was okay to resume unprotected sex. I also miscarried and that was pretty ugly. That is how they work... you still need protection until they have time to work.
Sounds though like you have an infection but not sure. You need to see your gynecologist and have a pap smear done to see what that is all about. You could also have a yeast infection because of the hormonal changes that take place from BC pills. Best to get it checked, okay???

Thank you so much for replying. Well we had sex twice that week and both times we used a condom but im not sure if we used it correctly. I took plan b the day after we had sex the first time because I had only taken birth control for 5 days. I keep panicking thinking I could be pregnante so I took another pregnancy test today and also came out negative. Am I testing too soon? how could u tell the difference between an infection or just normal discharge? and yes im going to try to go to the doctor as soon as I can.
There is an OTC test to help you find out whether you have a simple yeast infection that can be treated at home with OTC medication or if you're experiencing something else that calls for a doctor's appt. The name of it escapes me at the moment, but you can find it at any drugstore or Walmart where they keep the yeast infection medications.

No discharge is normal, okay? Women do not just discharge anything for no reason. I still think you need to get checked whether you are fearing pregnancy or not. However, it would be best if you are still concerned about that to talk with the doctor that you see when you get that "discharge" checked out. Best advice is to be safe rather than be sorry later.
