Am I pregnant after withdrawal bleeding?
Should I need to take pregnancy test after withdrawal bleeding or am I safe from pregnancy?

Gynecologist/Obstetrician
Answered on 21st Jan '25
Withdrawal bleeding often indicates that you are not pregnant, especially if it occurs after using hormonal contraception. However, individual factors can influence this, so it’s wise to consider a pregnancy test if you've missed your regular cycle or have unusual symptoms. Stress, hormonal changes, or missed pills can also affect your menstrual pattern. For peace of mind, if uncertainty remains, I recommend discussing your situation with a gynecologist. They can provide personalized advice and reassurance tailored to your health needs.

Several birth control methods work well, but it is recommended to visit a gynecologist in order for you to find out which method suits your needs. However, using medication for birth control is not recommended.

Hi i am 17 i am on the mini 12 hour pill and i stupidly missed a couple days. It was saturday the 30th was the last time i had sex but my partner didn't finish inside me i took my pill that night and the night after but due to upcoming exams i missed my pill on Wednesday and thursday (however i don't quite remember but can somewhat recall that i remember taking the ones missed on friday). i am now worried that i am pregnant please help

Missing pills can lower the level of contraception effectiveness, particularly if you've missed one too many pills at a row. Symptoms of early pregnancy can be similar to a missed period, nausea, or tenderness in your breast. However, considering that you were ejaculated outside and you are on the pill, the risk of pregnancy would be minimal. The prescription is primarily to resume correctly taking the pill and to also think of additional option if your period doesn't get back to its normal course (e.g. condom, pills). In order to feel more confident, you might as well do a pregnancy test. You can also consult a gynecologist.

I am 24 year female mujhe white discharge ka problem hai koi solution plz
Female | 24
Change in vaginal discharge may be due to a yeast infection or a bacterial infection. However, the signs and symptoms of the latter may include itching, burning, and a bad odor. Be sure you put on panties that are made of cotton, avoid using perfumed products, and wash the vaginal area often with water and soap. You can use prescriptions such as antifungal cream or antibiotic tablets at a pharmacy. If the symptoms persist, visit a gynecologist.

hi, if i have unprotected sex while my partner is on her period for only once, is that enough for me to get sti and does it make a difference if i do it again ?
Male | 20
Unprotected intercourse during menstruation can raise the risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Protection, such as condoms, should be used to limit the chances of STIs. Please go to a gynecologist or an STI expert wherever you sense any panic or signs.

Hello, I did an abortion 4 weeks ago .the pregnancy was like 2 weeks or 3 weeks old. I bled and there were some clots but it only lasted for 3 days . I tested for pregnancy last week on Monday and the results came out positive. What could be the problem?
Female | 23
It appears that you underwent a medical abortion four weeks ago but are still getting positive pregnancy test results. Keep in mind that your pregnancy hormone levels can be elevated for some time even after an abortion. Consequently, a pregnancy test may still be positive even though the pregnancy has already been terminated. My recommendation is to monitor how you feel and then contact your gynecologist to have it checked out further.

No need to worry since pregnancy is rarely possible if the sperm only reaches the outside of the body. Stress or changes in routine may be the cause of your irregular periods sometimes. If you're afraid that something might be wrong, go and consult a gynecologist for the needed advice. You may rest well and ponder what is best for yourself!

Myometrium: inhomogeneous appearing Endometrium: heterogenous in appearance. Endometrial thickness, total 5.9 mm What do these results mean
Female | 27
The data you have provided suggests that you could have some alterations in the structure of your uterus wall and the lining. This can be caused by hormonal changes or inflection. The irregularity in the appearance can sometimes be the reason for symptoms such as abnormal bleeding or pain. It is important to discuss these results with a gynecologist for more evaluation and the right treatment.

I am 19 years old. My pregnancy test got fade test line and I'm not sure if it's positive or not. I tested after 10-15 days of intercourse. If this is positive, I want to quit this pregnancy as soon as possible. Please help me find a way for it.
Female | 19
If you see a faint line on a pregnancy test, it could mean you are pregnant. Some signs of pregnancy are gone periods, sick feelings, and sensitive breasts. Pregnancy occurs when a man's sperm fertilizes a woman's egg. If you want to stop the pregnancy, you can talk to a doctor about options like a procedure or medication. Consult with a gynecologist to evaluate the most suitable alternative for you.

I had sex right after my periods just ended. And after sex for my peace of mind. i took a ipill at exact 45-47 hours. Are there chances of me getting pregnant or its all good?
Female | 24
The effectiveness of the i-pill reduces over time but taking it within 72 hours can help prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex. Though, it isn't 100% reliable. Watch for symptoms like nausea or abnormal bleeding. If anything worrying happens, consult a gynecologist promptly.

I’m pregnant and I took a supplement that has horny goat weed in it, around 100mg. What should I do? It has other ingredients like Muira Puama, Ginkgo Biloba and Maca Root. All these together with Horny Goat Weed make 900mg in one cube. I wanted to ask how this affects me?
Female | 28
Horny Goat Weed is a plant some folks use as a natural aid, but doctors advise not taking it while pregnant. It can maybe cause fast heart rate, dizziness, or even affect how your baby grows. If you used it, no need to panic, but tell your gynecologist right away so they can keep an eye on things and guide you.

I am 29 year old female. Trying to conceive since a year. I had spotting for 2 days before my periods due date and missed my periods. I got lower back pain. Tested negative for pregnancy today ( after 10 days of spotting). What is it ?
Female | 29
Hair loss and lower back pain can have various causes. Stress and hormonal changes may lead to delayed periods, which can create a false impression of pregnancy. It's great that you're addressing this! If your negative test was recent, consider retesting in a week. If symptoms persist, consulting a gynecologist could be beneficial.

I am 25 years old Female having lower abdominal pain and cramps
Female | 25
Many things might cause lower tummy pain and cramps in a 25-year-old woman. If you have your period, it could be related to that but it could also be a stomach bug or something else. If urine burns when passing and frequency is also increased, chances are that this problem may be due to UTI. Take lots of fluids including water and some OTC painkillers may help as well. However, you should see a gynecologist if none of these methods work for you.

I'm preethi 27 yrs old I got DNC on 26th may 2024 and july 3rd I got my regular periods after DNC but August 3rd I didn't get my periods till today 6th August 2024 at the same time my white discharge was like a curd tick consistency and it is non sticky what does it means please guide me
Female | 27
It is quite natural to experience irregularities in your menstrual cycle after a DNC, as sometimes your body may need a while to adapt. The curdy discharge could indicate a yeast infection, which is a common and treatable infection. Other reasons for missed periods may include stress, hormonal imbalance, or pregnancy. If you notice any in particular and if they continue, consult a gynecologist for further evaluation.

My periods ended on 5th march and now it has restarted on 10th march why so? Is this a concerning issue? Also This time my periods lasted for only 3 days instead of 5 days.
Female | 17
Menstrual cycles can be unpredictable sometimes. It's not rare for bleeding to restart after a few days. Hormonal shifts or stress could cause this. Short periods happen too, due to different reasons. However, if heavy flow, severe cramps, or irregular cycles persist, tracking and consulting a gynecologist is wise.

I'm 19 had unprotected sex with my partner now even he is puzzle if the sperm got in me or not but I got my periods 6 days after the sex what does it mean am i pregnant?
Female | 19
A woman who acquires a period soon after sexual intercourse is likely not to be pregnant. If you observe blood discharge, it implies the shedding of your endometrium, a scenario that is normal when there is no pregnancy. If you are unsure or have any other symptoms that are of concern, it is best to talk to a gynecologist.

Your period lasting longer than usual can be confusing, but we'll explore it. Stress, hormonal shifts, or medications sometimes disrupt your cycle.
