Why am I experiencing prolonged bleeding on birth control?

I am a 22 year old female, I started taking my birth control again and have been for a week now. I started my period after starting my birth control again. However, my period or whatever is happening has been occuring for almost 10 days now. The bleeding is very light with just two days of it being a medium flow. My breasts aren't tender, my acne is bad, my hair is a bit oily, I do feel gassy, my back hurts a bit and I feel mildly nauseous here and there.

It sounds more like your body is only getting used to birth control. It is quite common to have irregular bleeding when you start using birth control. Light bleeding, acne, oily hair, gas, back pain, and nausea are also possible side effects of the hormones in birth control. Allow some time to ensure the body gets used to the medicine. And if these symptoms persist or become stronger, please get in touch with your gynecologist for advice.

I m unmarried but in my reports I have pid problem how it is possible

Female | 22

PID is an infection of the female reproductive organs, usually caused by STIs like chlamydia or gonorrhea. However, PID can also be caused by non sexually transmitted infection, like bacterial infections, medical procedures, or bacterial imbalances. Regardless of sexual activity, PID requires medical attention for proper diagnosis and treatment.

My last period.was on 17.September I had a positive pregnancy test but my ultrasound shows.the.fetus.is.4.weeks.old,it should've.been 7.weeks.by now, Why is.the.baby not growing properly

Female | 24

I would recommend that you see an obstetrician right away. Slow fetal growth may signal a potential miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy. Tests and ultrasounds can be run by an obstetrician in order to find the core of this problem. Thus, it is crucial to seek help from an expert obstetrician who can provide the correct diagnosis and treatment.

I had unprotected sex almost immediately after my periods ended. (After 2 days). I took unwanted 72 right after the unprotected sex. Is it safe? It's been 18 days since then

Female | 21

Taking Unwanted 72 after unprotected sex can help in case of pregnancy. It might have to be mentioned that young people should take it within 72 hours. Since the usual menstruation time has passed and in the meantime, you've already got your period, the symptoms you may develop are mostly related to the bleeding. Spotting or changes in the menstrual cycle are the main issues after taking the pill.

Will I get pregnant even after getting contraceptive pill right after sex and ejaculation doesn't happen inside the vagina? I'm on my 6th day after periods end

Female | 24

When the contraceptive pill is taken correctly its effective in preventing pregnancy.. but there is still a small chance of pregnancy even if ejaculation doesn't occur inside the vagina. Take a test to confirm

I’m having a hestoscopy d and c done next week. I wanted to know if if usually allow to go ahead with the procedure if I have a chipped tooth/ broken tooth?

Female | 39

A chipped or cracke­d tooth needs attention be­fore hysteroscopy D&C. Inform your doctor if you notice any sharp e­dges or discomfort. They may suggest fixing it before to avoid complications during the­ procedure. Having a smooth, pain-free­ mouth helps ensure a smoothe­r process.

Is mifestad 10 effective as an emergency contraceptive pill? It's a pill made from Vietnam.

Female | 23

As for Mifestad 10, it is not an emergency birth control pill. Emergency contraceptive pills can either contain levonorgestrel or ulipristal acetate. If you have had unprotected sex, it's best to use a recognized emergency contraceptive pill to prevent pregnancy. Remember the greater the time between unprotected intercourse and the taking of emergency contraception, the less effective it is.

Consult a medical specialist near you for a suitable birth control pill considering your allergies. They can recommend alternatives or nonhormonal options like copper IUDs or barrier methods if required.
