Answered by Dr. Swapna Chekuri

You are bleeding for more than a week after taking the emergency contraceptive pill. Sometimes, this may be due to the effects of hormonal level changes. Additionally, you may have symptoms such as heavy bleeding and pain. Don't panic, this is usually a temporary condition, as your body gets used to the medication. Ensure you are drinking enough water and are getting enough sleep. If the bleeding goes on for two weeks or more or you feel faint, it is better to consult a gynecologist.

After an abortion, it's essential to give your body time to recover, allowing your uterus to heal properly.

I had my menstruation recently (May 25) but yet to ovulate since then. Any cause for alarm? And Can I get pregnant without ovulation?

Female | 27

Hey, Welcome to ClinicSpots! We're here to provide you with the guidance you need regarding your menstrual and ovulation concerns.

It's understandable to be worried about the delay in ovulation since your last menstruation on May 25. Delayed ovulation can be caused by several factors, including stress, changes in weight, excessive exercise, or underlying medical conditions. It’s essential to monitor your cycle and consult a healthcare provider if irregularities persist. Pregnancy cannot occur without ovulation, as ovulation is the release of an egg necessary for fertilization. If ovulation is absent, conception is not possible.

Next Steps to Follow:

1. Maintain a menstrual calendar to track your cycle and any symptoms.

2. Schedule a consultation with your gynecologist to discuss your concerns and possibly conduct a hormonal evaluation.

3. Consider lifestyle modifications such as reducing stress, maintaining a balanced diet, and regular exercise to promote regular ovulation.

4. Avoid self-medicating with supplements or hormones without professional guidance.

We're dedicated to your well-being.

Female | 23

It looks like you could have abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB). This can be caused by many things such as hormone imbalances, stress, or certain drugs. The light flow followed by brown discharge might mean old blood is coming out. I’m glad that you took a pregnancy test which came back negative ruling in pregnancy. My advice would be to keep track of your symptoms and talk to a gynecologist about them for further evaluation and guidance.

Can I take pregnancy test after 1 day of missed period??? Urine test or beta HCG

Female | 27

You can certainly take a pregnancy test one day after your period is due. Home urine tests are quite accurate at this stage, as they detect the hormone hCG, which rises in early pregnancy. However, for more precise results, a blood test measuring beta hCG can be conducted at a healthcare facility. Symptoms of early pregnancy may include missed periods, fatigue, and breast tenderness. If you have concerns or uncertainties, it is best to consult your gynecologist for personalized guidance and support. They can help clarify your situation and discuss the next steps.

Hi, I tested with pregnancy test kit on my 3rd day of missed periods and i got slightly red second line. When can i take blood test for confirmation

Female | 31

A red secondary line, even a very light one, can show that a woman is pregnant. It is best to wait at least one week after the missed period to do a blood test for confirmation. This allows your body to produce enough pregnancy hormones that the blood test can detect. If you have pregnancy symptoms like nausea, or breast tenderness, it is also good to mention that to a gynecologist.
