Clear, sticky mucus or discharge can be a normal part of a woman's menstrual cycle and is often associated with changes in cervical mucus throughout the menstrual cycle. Cervical mucus changes in response to hormonal fluctuations, particularly around the time of ovulation. The pill, when taken correctly and consistently, usually suppresses ovulation and thickens cervical mucus to prevent sperm from reaching the egg. However, no contraceptive method is 100% foolproof, including the pill and condoms. If you have been taking the pill correctly for 7 days and using condoms as a backup, you have a good level of contraceptive protection. The combination of the pill and condoms significantly reduces the chance of pregnancy.

The "morning-after pill, also known as the emergency contraceptive pill or "i pill, is a form of contraception that can be taken within a specific timeframe after unprotected sex to help prevent pregnancy. It primarily works by delaying or preventing ovulation. The bleeding your friend is experiencing could potentially be a side effect of taking the emergency contraceptive pill. Some women may experience irregular bleeding or changes in their menstrual cycle after taking the pill. This can manifest as light bleeding or spotting, which may occur at different times compared to their regular period. However, it's essential to consider other factors as well. Bleeding or spotting can have various causes, and it may not necessarily indicate pregnancy or the absence of pregnancy.

Since you had your period on june 11th and then had unprotected sex with a condom on june 17th, followed by taking an emergency contraceptive pill (i-pill), it's important to note that emergency contraceptive pills can sometimes affect the regularity of your menstrual cycle. This can cause changes in the timing of your next period. The menstrual cycle typically lasts around 28 days, but it can range from 21 to 35 days for many women. Given that you had a short period on june 25th, it's possible that your next period may be influenced by the emergency contraceptive pill and might not occur exactly on your expected ovulation day, which is usually around 14 days before your next period. If your menstrual cycle is usually regular and around 28 days, you might expect your next period approximately four weeks after your last period. In this case, your next period could be expected around the 23rd of july. However, since the use of emergency contraceptive pills can cause variations in your cycle, there's a chance it could be earlier or later.

It's important to note that emergency contraception is not 100% effective, so there is still a small chance of pregnancy even if you took the pill within the recommended time. The bleeding you experienced on july 11th could be a side effect of the emergency contraception, as it can sometimes cause changes in your menstrual cycle. This bleeding could also be due to other factors, such as hormonal fluctuations or stress. It's challenging to determine the exact cause without further information. If you're concerned about the possibility of pregnancy, it's advisable to take a pregnancy test to get a definitive answer. Additionally, if you have ongoing concerns or irregularities with your menstrual cycle, it would be best to consult with a healthcare professional who can provide personalized advice based on your specific situation.

If there was no penetration and no ejaculation near the vaginal opening, the chances of pregnancy are very low. However, it's important to remember that even pre-ejaculate (pre-cum) can contain sperm, although the chances of pregnancy from pre-ejaculate alone are lower than with fully ejaculated semen. Emergency contraceptive pills like unwanted 72 are designed to help prevent pregnancy when taken within a specific time frame after unprotected sex. It's important to note that these pills are not 100% effective and should not be relied upon as a regular form of contraception. Additionally, they can sometimes cause changes to the menstrual cycle, including delays or irregular bleeding. If your partner has not experienced withdrawal bleeding after taking unwanted 72, it's recommended to consult a healthcare professional or a gynecologist for further guidance. They can provide a more accurate assessment of the situation and offer appropriate advice.
