Could Delayed Periods After Emergency Contraception Mean Pregnancy?
I am 20F & used to get my period between the 17th and 20th of each month. I had unprotected sex on April 25th and took an emergency contraceptive pill the next day. My last sexual encounter was on April 29th (with protection), and I took another emergency pill that same day for extra safety. After that, my period started on 3rd of May (though I had my last period finished on 23rd April). From then my periods became regular, occurring from the 1st to the 5th of each month. However, today September 20th, and I still have not gotten my period. Could I be pregnant, or is this delay normal?

Sometimes, taking emergency contraceptive pills can mess up your period for a while. Stress, weight changes, or hormonal imbalances can also make your period late. If you are worried, you can take a pregnancy test. If it's positive, talk to a gynecologist about your options. Remember, irregular periods happen to many people, so try not to stress too much.

I had unprotected sex 2 days after my periods ended. What should I do?
Female | 29
You may have gotten pregnant after unprotected sex just after your period ended. Watch for no period, feeling sick, or sore breasts. Get morning-after pills from a drugstore fast - no prescription needed. They lower pregnancy chances.

I had unprotected sex the exact day I was ovulating but then took a plan B ,,,,can I get pregnant?
Female | 23
Having unprotected sex on the day of ovulation can increase the risk of pregnancy. Taking Plan B shortly after can help lower that risk, especially if taken within 72 hours. If you were already ovulating, the chance of pregnancy might be higher. Consult a gynecologist and consider taking a pregnancy test if your period is delayed.

Female | 24
Headaches, nausea, and heavy brown discharge can feel overwhelming. Negative pregnancy tests add more confusion. Yet, these symptoms might arise from hormonal changes, tension, or other health problems. If issues persist, consider speaking to a gynecologist for guidance and reassurance.

I am facing yeast infection first time. Do I take one fluconazole tablet per day or a tablet in 3 days
Female | 20
Yeast infections are quite common. They occur when your body has too much yeast. This imbalance can result in itching, burning, and strange discharge. If it's your first time experiencing a yeast infection, the typical treatment is one fluconazole pill taken in a single day. Fluconazole kills the fungus responsible for the infection. However, you must follow the medication instructions precisely.

Female | 16
The light pink lines on the test can indicate a positive result, meaning pregnancy. To prevent this in the future, you can use contraception methods like condoms or birth control pills. These methods help stop pregnancy from happening.

I had unprotected sex and took emergency contraceptives on the same day but my periods are 4 days late could I be pregnant?
Female | 19
Emergency contraceptives are effective in preventing pregnancy, but they're not 100% guaranteed. It's common for periods to be delayed after taking them. However, if you're concerned about pregnancy, it's best to consult a gynecologist for proper evaluation and guidance.

My period is late for like 5 days or more and i don't know why
Female | 14
Periods being late is common, so you shouldn't panic straight away. It can also be stress, changes in weight, diet, or exercise habits. It could also be a sign of pregnancy if you've been sexually active. Just breathe deeply. If you are worried, you can take a home pregnancy test to calm you down. If you continue to have irregular periods, you should talk to a gynecologist.

Female | 39
Hemorrhaging after the removal of the IUD during pregnancy is no longer an unfamiliar problem. Still, I would recommend consulting with a gynecologist or obstetrician before undertaking any such activity to ascertain the safety of the pregnancy.

I m 21year old female I have the problem in vegaina bleeding and burning sensation in toilet for the last evening please you suggest me what is the problem please
Female | 21
There are a number of things that can cause bleeding or a burning feeling in your vagina. Yeast infections are one such cause and they often lead to these symptoms. Another cause is wearing tight clothing or using products with scents around the area which may also irritate it. Therefore, it is best if you avoid such items and put on loose cotton panties instead. Additionally, try using over the counter yeast infection creams for relief from itching & burning sensations. However if no improvement is seen after doing so then it would be wise to go see a gynecologist who will further examine you.

I am a 24 year old female. I was on depo for 2 years. Last shot expired in April. I had unprotected sex in August, less than a week after my period. Took a morning after pill next morning. One week later i had my period again which lasted 3 days with lots of cramping. Three days after i started feeling nauseated and having an upset stomach. Could i be pregnant
Female | 24
Based on what you've told me, the chances of you being pregnant are slim. The emergency contraceptive pill is effective if taken shortly after unprotected sex. Women can experience nausea and abdominal discomfort as side effects of the pill, which do not necessarily imply that they are pregnant.

I want a prescription. I have vaginal infection. The symptoms are itchness, rash, foul smell and discharge. What medicine do you prescribe?
Female | 22
The symptoms you have associated with possible infection, which are itchiness, rash, a bad smell, and discharge, may be due to a common infection known as bacterial vaginosis. This is when the bad and good bacteria are not in equal amounts in the vagina. Apply an anti-fungal cream or gel that can be purchased without a prescription. Choose products that have clotrimazole or miconazole as the main ingredients. Follow the instructions on the packaging for proper use. Cotton underwear is the best choice for you, and douching should be avoided. If your symptoms worsen or persist, see a gynecologist for further evaluation.
