Could my Lower Back Pain and On-Off Periods be a Sign of Pregnancy or PCOD?

i am 21 years old female. i have been getting my periods since December, its February right now, its on and off, for 2 weeks in January i got heavy periods and since then i have been getting spotting on the pads. i met with a gyn and she gave me a medicine called norethindrone acetate, and gave me dosage accordingly, and diagnosed me with PCOD. i haven't been taking the medicine cause I'm not sure if i should. i am also afraid if it has anything to do with pregnancy, i have taken UPTs thrice and they were all negative and my last intercourse was in November. however i have extreme lower back pain and i experience tiredness. i just want answers to whether it is pregnancy given the lower back pain and the spotting for so long? if its not that then can i take the medicine prescribed and it wont be an issue and i wont have any extreme side effects.

Based on your symptoms, it is improbable that you are pregnant because you have taken three negative UPTs and your last intercourse was in November. Your period time may be different because of PCOD. That's why your gynecologist diagnosed you with PCOD. As long as you take the drug recommended by your gynecologist, norethindrone acetate, according to the dose and monitoring for adverse effects, it is ok. But, if the backaches and tiredness continue, then consult your gynecologist again

Okay. I wanted to know if it’s possible for a specific person to throwing off my ph balance and why is that. Like why would that be ? It’s only happened with him specifically and not anyone else .. why is that ? Is there something nh wrong with him ? Because I’m okay on my own it’s just that when we have sex I get a bv or a yeast infection or just feel irritated. I went to the doctor and they gave me and him medication to take and it still happens .. everytime … why ?

There can be factors contributing to changes in vaginal pH balance and the occurrence of vaginal infections. Sexual activity, particularly with a new partner, can sometimes disrupt the natural balance of bacteria in the vagina, leading to infections like bacterial vaginosis (BV) or yeast infections. This can happen due to the introduction of new bacteria or an alteration in the vaginal environment.

I had unprotected sex on 13april, 2024 and took ipill within 1hr. My last period date was 22march and mensuration cycle is 24days but yet not getting my periods . But yesterday also I had an unprotected sex so should I repeat ipill again? Please suggest And how many day will i get my periods

Female | 30

After taking e­mergency contraception like­ the iPill, irregular periods are­ typical. Potential symptoms include nausea, he­adaches, and menstrual cycle change­s. Stress or hormone imbalances can also postpone­ your period. Taking another iPill immediate­ly is inadvisable. Allow your body time to adjust. Your period should arrive­ within the next few we­eks. If concerned, conside­r taking a pregnancy test.

My period is late for 13days and then i take unwanted 72tablet

Female | 22

If you have concerns about potential pregnancy or irregular periods, consider taking a pregnancy test or consulting with a healthcare professional for personalized advice. Also keep in mind that unwanted 72 is not a regular form of birth control and should only be used as an emergency measure.

I had protected sex and my period is delayed and later seeing light bleeding

Female | 17

There can be several factors if you are experiencing a delayed period followed by light bleeding like stress, hormonal changes, contraceptive use, and the possibility of pregnancy. While protected sex reduces the risk of pregnancy, no method is entirely foolproof. If you are concerned about pregnancy confirm by taking a home pregnancy test.

Can i take principle ferite tablet in . 4 th week pregnancy

Female | 31

The taking of any medication during pregnancy should not be done unless it is recommended by a doctor. Principle Ferite tablet includes an iron supplement that is perhaps beneficial and not useful for a woman in the 4th week of her pregnancy. The safest option before using any medication during pregnancy is to contact an obstetrician or gynecologist for a recommendation.

I took the abortion pill on Sunday ,I saw blood not dat heavy, why am I still vomiting and lost of appetite

Female | 25

I suggest you see a gynecologist if the vomiting and loss of appetite happens after taking the abortion pill. Such conditions might point to a partial abortion or infection.
