variations in period flow and color are normal, and the dark brown blood you experienced could be older blood being discharged. Taking multiple birth control pills and emergency contraceptives can also affect your cycle. Since it's been two weeks since your period and the pregnancy test was negative, it's unlikely you're pregnant. Stress can symptoms like nausea, so try to relax and trust the test results. The light brown discharge you later experienced could be a result of hormonal changes from the medications you took. If you continue to feel unwell or anxious, seek guidance from a gynecologist.

Had sex with gf yesterday. Used condom. But we think there are some leakage. Today there are some white discharge came out from vagina twice. We don't want pregnancy. What to do now? It was 25th day after last periods.

Female | 26

It is normal to be thinking about pregnancy when faced with a situation similar to this. The white mucous discharge during which you are going through might be a yeast infection one of the reasons for which is the pH imbalance of the vagina. The best advice in this situation is to have a pregnancy test to ensure yourself if you are pregnant or not, and maybe the second option you should take into account is emergency contraception if you are afraid of getting pregnant.

I’m 20 year old female. I have had unprotected sex on 26th oct. Then on 9th Nov I got my periods but starting 2-3 day my bleeding was really less but after that the bleeding was proper till 18th Nov. then my period ended properly. But again today on 20th Nov I’m bleeding again really less but still. What does this mean? This is not pregnancy right?

Female | 20

A situation of irregular periods could suddenly arise due to factors such as stress, fluctuations in hormone levels, or even a change in routine. In fact, sometimes periods may be a little irregular. It is advisable to consult a gynecologist immediately if you have other odd problems and bleeding too.

Female | 36

Irregular periods can happen sometimes. Stress, routine changes, or hormonal issues may cause delays. Pregnancy or certain health conditions could also be reasons. A home pregnancy test can help clarify things. If it's negative and your period still doesn't arrive after waiting, consulting a gynecologist would be advisable.

i have periods on February 11 but today is march 17 my periods not come yet

Female | 21

Most folks get anxious if their period doesn't arrive on time. Numerous reasons can throw it off schedule. Anxiety, hormone shifts, sudden weight changes, or heavy workouts sometimes delay it. Unprotected sex raises pregnancy concerns. Watch for tender breasts, bloating, and emotional ups-and-downs too. Stay relaxed; periods may run late. But if it stays missing after several weeks, consulting a gynecologist provides reassurance.

I am confused about my pregnancy i have not a confirmation so what will do

Female | 32

If you’re not sure whether or not you’re pregnant, there are a couple things that you can look out for. You may be pregnant if you have missed your period, feel nauseous or tired, and your breasts hurt – these are all signs of pregnancy but they could also be caused by hormonal changes. Take an at-home pregnancy test or get a blood test at a gynecologist's clinic to be certain about any changes in health.

Female | 24

You might have pelvic organ prolapse, specifically cervix descent. This happens when pelvic muscles weaken. Symptoms: feeling pressure in the vagina, bulge, trouble inserting menstrual cups. See a gynecologist to diagnose it properly. Treatment options include pelvic floor exercises or surgery.

Hii doctor, I am 20 years old girl.. My period blood is black from 2 to 3 months and I am not facing pain during periods and periods blood is black.. Also I got my periods bow but still the period blood is black and heavy..why so?

Female | 20

Black period blood may be the result of older blood that takes longer to flow out of the body. It can also be a result of hormonal changes. Nevertheless, even with no pain - if it continues the way it is now, it is often not harmful. Make sure you keep track of your periods and your condition, so if it continues, consult a gynecologist for proper guidance and treatment.

I am 23 years old i have vaginal burning sensations

Female | 23

You are feeling some burning in your vagina. A yeast infection, irritation from soaps or detergents, or even a sexually transmitted infection could cause this. The best thing to do is avoid using any scented products and wear cotton underwear. Drinking lots of water might also help. If it does not go away, see a gynecologist.

I used an emergency contraception about a month and a half ago, and found my self in a situation where I need to use one again now. In February I had a miscarriage and I’m just wondering how many times I can use emergency contraception, and if it’s okay to even after having a miscarriage. I have used probably about 6 in my life. Is there a limit to how many a woman can take? Will it affect my gynecological health?

Female | 21

Emergency contraception is intended for occasional and emergency use, not as a regular form of birth control. While there is no strict limit on how many times emergency contraception can be used, it's important to understand that it is not as effective or reliable as regular contraception methods.

Repeated use of emergency pills can disrupt hormonal balance in your body and cause irregularities in your menstrual cycle. It's recommended to speak personally with a gynec about more reliable and appropriate forms of contraception that can better suit your needs and provide ongoing protection.
