I've been in ortho tri cyclen since the 14th (Sunday start, but I started my period on the 13th, so it wasn't a very long time). I've taken it at the same time every day. For about 4 days after my period ended, I had a little breakthrough bleeding, but then it stopped. All has been well, and then on the 28th I had sex without a condom (withdrawl method) - which won't be happening again.

Today, when I wiped, there was just barely barely a little brown discharge. There's nothing now.

Could it just be from sex? Surely it's way too early for implanation bleeding, right? I'm worried though. Please help.

You were protected if you've been taking your pills correctly. You're protected after a week straight of taking your pills correctly, no matter where you start in your cycle.

The brown could be breakthrough bleeding again-- its pretty common when you just start the pill.
