Taking an emergency contraceptive pill within 24 hours of unprotected sex can greatly reduce the chance of pregnancy, but it is not 100% effective. So how to know if unwanted 72 has worked? It's the bleeding you experienced which is a common side effect of the pill and is a sign that the pill is working to prevent pregnancy. If you are still concerned, you can take a home pregnancy test to confirm.

There is still a possibility of pregnancy even after taking the emergency contraceptive pill like Unwanted 72. However, bleeding after 7 days is a positive sign that the pill has worked. To be sure, it is recommended to take a pregnancy test after a missed period. It is also important to practice safe sex and use contraceptives to prevent unwanted pregnancies.

It is normal to bleed after swallowing an emergency contraceptive pill; it is usually not a serious condition. This bleeding is normally less than a usual period and takes place due to hormonal changes associated with the pill. Important to note that this bleeding is not like a normal menstruation. If the bleeding is heavy or long-lasting, and especially if there are other worrying symptoms beforehand, seeking medical advice can be useful. More importantly, it also needs to be mentioned that emergency contraception is not a routine birth control mechanism

Hello dr my name is dhruvisha Katariya. I am 20 year old. I had sex with my partner a day ago. We also used protection. Now my period date It has come. But my periods have not come.

Female | 20

It's completely normal for periods to be late sometimes even if you have used protection. Common causes could be stress, a change in routine, or hormonal imbalance. If you are concerned, wait a few more days and then take a home pregnancy test. Remember that irregular periods can happen but it is always good to get checked out just in case.

Can I breastfeed while having alcoho

Female | 28

It is generally recommended to avoid consuming alcohol while breastfeeding, as alcohol can pass into breast milk and affect your baby. Even small amounts of alcohol can potentially be harmful to a nursing infant. When you consume alcohol, it enters your bloodstream, and some of it will be present in your breast milk. As a result, your baby will consume the alcohol when they breastfeed. Infants metabolize alcohol at a slower rate than adults, which means it can take longer for their bodies to eliminate it.

Alcohol consumption while breastfeeding can have several negative effects on your baby. And the safest approach for your baby's health is to abstain from alcohol while breastfeeding.

"Hello, I'm 24 years old. I had unprotected sex on October 16, four days before my period, which started on October 20. My menstrual cycle typically lasts 27 days. Now, 12 days before my next period, I'm experiencing: - Fatigue - chills - sweating - Tender breasts - Increased vaginal discharge - Nighttime nausea - Increased appetite Could I be pregnant considering I had sex four days before my period?

Female | 24

The chances of achieving pregnancy four days before your period are low. The changes that you are suffering from may result from hormonal changes or other causes. Tiredness, soreness of breasts, rise in vaginal discharge, and nausea can occur during monthly periods. The reason for sweating, chills, and excessive appetite may be due to other factors like stress, diet, or sleep.
