pale red vaginal discharge after taking an i pill

[martha99]

i took an i pill at 57th hour after a partial penetration which lasted only for 4-5 seconds...What does pale red vaginal discharge means after 2 days of taking an i pill ?? is that a sign of being pregnant?? also how long do the side effects of an i pill exist??

Hi!
It does not sound to me as though the contact that you had would be very likely to result in pregnancy.  The pink discharge is more probably a side effect of the pill.
If you are close to (within 4-5 days) the time of your expected menstrual period you can do a pregnancy test.  I ALWAYS recommend a test!
Usually the side effects such as nausea don't last more than 48 hours or so.  The effects of the pill on your cycle can last for 4-6 weeks.  Usually the cycle in which the pill is taken is NOT normal.  Usually the next cycle after that one IS normal.
Good luck!
