Can 28-day contraceptive pills protect me from pregnancy?
Hello, I'm on the 28 day contraceptive pills. I have been taking my pills everyday on time, however yesterday was my 16th day but I took the 21st day pill instead. I am just now realizing so I took the 16th pill that was meant for yesterday along with my 17th day pill for today. I had sexual intercourse yesterday so will the pills still protect me from getting pregnant?

Since an incorrect pill was consumed, the possibility of pregnancy has slightly increased. It's crucial to utilize additional protection for the next seven days, such as condoms. Continue taking your regular pills, but exercise heightened caution. If any unusual symptoms like nausea or irregular bleeding occur, please consult a gynecologist.

Common endometriosis signs are painful periods, heavy bleeding, and sex discomfort. But your symptoms seem different. It could mean fibroids or hormone imbalances instead. The key is getting an accurate diagnosis. Visit a gynecologist to pinpoint the exact problem and get proper treatment.

It is natural for some people to have a period that only lasts 2 days, but it is important to be keen on any alterations. The flow difference from the first day to the second can be the consequence of hormonal factors. The beginning of the menstrual flow may not be the reason for not getting pregnant in the future. Visit a gynecologist to deal with any of your medical concerns, to be on the safer side.

I'm missing my period for two days should I take pregency test
Female | 30
Missing your period for two days is not necessarily an indication of pregnancy. But if you are sexually active and have missed your period, taking a pregnancy test is a good idea. Otherwise consult with a gynecologist or obstetrician for further evaluation and guidance on how to proceed.

i got + pregnancy test today periods r 15 days late but last night i was in party nd did drink
Female | 35
The period can be delayed now and then. Alcohol consumption can slow down the body's cyclic process, thus menstruation may be late. Some pregnancy indicators include the lack of a period, increased fatigue, and the experience of morning sickness. If you're in doubt about being pregnant, take a pregnancy test. If you get a positive test result, it's vital to consult a gynecologist for further advice and treatment.

My periods is 2 day late ..I haven't had any sexual intercourse but had oral sex I'm scared is there any chance for getting pregnant??
Female | 19
The probability of conception as a result of oral sex is very small. There are other attributes like stress, weight fluctuations, hormonal imbalances, and particular medication that can slow down periods as well. Accordingly, pay attention to the recommendation of the gynecologist to get a thorough examination of your case.

The regular coupling during the fertile time of the monthly cycle can make the probability of pregnancy higher. Besides, imbalance in age, hormones, and medical conditions are also relevant factors influencing fertility. You should consult with a gynecologist or infertility specialist to know more on diffrent advance treatments like IVF, IUI etc to conceive.

Want to delay my periods for four days and not getting pregnant ... What should I do?
Female | 21
If you want to delay your periods for four days and avoid getting pregnant, what about taking a drug called norethisterone that has been passed for such use? This medication will be the way to delay your period. It achieves this by controlling the production of progesterone in your body. Nevertheless, remember that this is not a contraceptive method, so you have to use other birth control methods if you are sexually active. A gynecologist would best be able to assess you and establish the correct prescription and dosage for you.

Female | 19
You may have a common ovary cyst that is the cause of the pain. Such symptoms might be pelvic pain, abdominal swelling, and irregular intervals. The oocytes do not undergo normal maturation when the ovaries do not release them properly during the menstrual cycle. To ease your pain, consult a gynecologist for proper treatment.

my belly and my vagina hurt
Female | 18
Urinary tract infections often occur when bacteria enter the bladder and vagina. You might feel pain when peeing, experience lower belly pain, and have the urge to pee frequently. It's important to drink plenty of water and avoid holding in your pee. Sometimes, antibiotics are needed to help treat the infection.

Female | 22
Lower belly aches, drowsiness, urinary issues, and bloating are common side effects, often due to a urinary tract infection or mild inflammation. Rest well, drink plenty of water, and consider over-the-counter painkillers if needed. These symptoms usually heal on their own, but if they persist or worsen, consult a gynecologist.

I had sex during my period and I took the morning after the following day he ejaculated thrice inside me, this happened during September 6th and 7th. Now it's October my period is 8 days late what should I do?
Female | 20
Late in the occurrence of your period after unprotected sex, it is common to be anxious. In the case of a delay that the period doesn't come, it could be that a person is under stress, hormonal changes happen, or even pregnancy. Pregnancy signs include missed periods, vomiting, breast tenderness, and tiredness. A home pregnancy test can show you if you're pregnant.

Iam 27 years old missed period
Female | 27
If you’re twenty-seven years old and missed a period, many things could have caused it. This ranges from stress-related issues, changes in weight, and hormonal imbalances to pregnancy. If you are sexually active, then taking a home pregnancy test might not be such a bad idea. You could also use apps that help track ovulation dates and fertile days based on their menstrual cycle length etc. You can also visit a gynecologist regarding this issue.

Kya period ke baad bhi pregnant ho sakte hai
Female | 30
Yes, it is possible to get pregnant after your period. During the menstrual cycle, an egg is released, and if it meets sperm, fertilization can occur. So, even after the period ends, there are days when the egg can still be fertilized, leading to pregnancy. If you have more concerns consult a gynecologist.

You might have a urinary tract infection or UTI. This can cause pain and a burning feeling when you pee, along with the need to urinate so often. In other words, you might be urinating less frequently; which could be a symptom of a UTI. UTIs are mostly caused by bacteria. Be assured that in most cases plenty of water and cranberry juice can help get rid of the infection. If it does not show any improvement, a urologist can help you, you might need some antibiotics.

Female | 22
Sometimes, stress or gaining weight can push back your period. Hormonal imbalances and certain medications might also cause a late period. You shouldn’t worry too much if your pregnancy test was negative. But if the period still doesn't come and you have other symptoms, talk to a gynecologist for advice.
