Can I take another dose of emergency pills 20 hours later if I had two unprotected sexual encounters?

Can I repeat dose of emergency pills after 20 hours as I had 2 unprotected sex after taking emergency pills

It is not recommended to repeat the dose of emergency pills since it causes hormonal imbalance as a result of which there can be nausea, vomiting, and irregular bleeding. It would be a good idea to follow up with a gynecologist for directions on what contraceptive methods would be more appropriate.

High blood pressure and 31 weeks pregnant

Female | 22

Well in that case contact your gynecologist immediately. They may prescribe medication to control your bp, recommend bed rest or reduced activity, and monitor your condition closely. Maintain a low-sodium diet, stay hydrated, and manage stress.
High bp during pregnancy can pose risks, so follow your doctor's guidance for a healthy outcome for you and your baby.

Iam 35 years old female n I was wondering how did I get Cervical cancer

Female | 35

The problem of cervical cancer is caused when the cells in the cervix get as a matter of fact, out of hand. The primary connection is through the HPV virus, which is transmitted during sexual activities. Some non-specific symptoms may also be there including the following: bleeding from the unusual site the woman has never experienced before, pain during sex, and pelvic pain. The use of Pap smears and HPV vaccines is one of the ways to minimize the risk of cervical cancer. This may happen to the p. by surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy.

Hi I have taken pregnancy tests and they’ve come back negative.. I have irregular periods but within the last week I’ve noticed my boobs have gotten harder, my lower tummy is tender and hard, I’ve had awful mood swings and I’m very emotional, and I’m always hungry

Female | 25

Symptoms you may be experiencing can be due to hormonal changes, which may not be indicative of pregnancy. An irregular period can cause the hormone levels to fluctuate, leading to tender breasts, bloating, and mood swings. Stress, diet, and lack of exercise can also be the reasons why your body is affected this way. Try managing stress, eating healthy, and gentle exercise to help balance your hormones.

My periods are delayed by 7 days. And I get back pain and then it gets better. This keeps happening since 1 week.

Female | 20

DELAYED PERIODS and BACK PAIN may indicate PREGNANCY.. Take a PREGNANCY TEST to confirm.. ORAL CONTRACEPTIVES or STRESS may also cause DELAYED PERIODS.. Consult a doctor if symptoms persist..

Two days after periods, sperm dripped on the vagina. No penatration happened. Is there possibility for pregnancy?

Female | 25

No penetration equals a low chance of pregnancy. Early symptoms of pregnancy are missed periods and morning sickness. If you spot such signs, think about getting a pregnancy test. To prevent pregnancy, next time you should think about using protection.

I'm having brownish blood discharge after 5 months of c section is there any thing I need to work?

Female | 24

Brownish discharge after the c-section could be a symptom of infection or endometriosis. Talk to your gynecologist she may conduct a pelvic exam to diagnose the root cause of the pain and to offer you appropriate treatment.

Make out with bf and now scared that I might be pregnant but there was no ejaculation or penitration as guy confirmed that not as such happened and now I'm very stressed as I have pcod and my periods come one week early as last was on 30th and end by 6th October and makeout on 21st October. What are the precautions now to be taken for not having single change of getting pregnant

Female | 28

The probability of pregnancy would stay quite low if there was no ejaculation or penetration. Your PCOD (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) could be the reason why the cycle was irregular, and that is maybe why the period came early. See if there are any weird symptoms but most likely you are not pregnant. If you're truly concerned, testing for pregnancy and calming your mind by doing the test will be a good idea.
