Could my symptoms indicate pregnancy while on Depo Provera?
I am currently on phentermine for weight loss and metformin for insulin resistance. I also take vitamins b12,d3,water pills,and vaginal ph balance vitamins. I'm currently on the depo Provera birth control shot once every 3 months. My last shot was feb.13th. I have had more frequent headaches for 2 weeks and ive lost a lot of weight the past 2 weeks and im also very fatigued everyday. To add to it. Ive been more emotional and moody. My moods are all over the place. I recently had bleeding for about 8 days (march22nd to April 1st) it wasn't heavy at all (I didn't need a pad or anything), but it was red. Not dark. Bright light red. It had suddenly started. Lasted for 8 days and then suddenly stopped. I never bleed because im on depo. Maybe an occasional spotting for a few hours every 3 or 4 months, but never actual bleeding. I thought it was odd so I took a pregnancy test. Faint positive. So took 4 more and they were all faint positives. Both red and blue dye tests. I had no cramping while I was bleeding, but now I'm having slight tightness in my lower belly and some upper back pain. Dull back pain. What could this possibly mean?

Answered on 23rd May '24
You need to go to the gynecologist for professional assessment. According to the symptoms, phentermine, metformin, and Depo Provera may be hindering your menstrual cycles and hormonal balance. Blood and home pregnancy test kits may indicate the chance of pregnancy, but confirmation with additional tests is important.

I have had an abortion 4 days ago, now I’m experiencing sore back, gurgling sounds and needle like pokes on my lower abdomen, what could be the problem?
Female | 22
You may experience some discomfort after an abortion. A sore back could stem from hormone changes. Gurgling sounds and needle-like pokes in your lower abdomen might indicate intestinal gas shifting. It's crucial to rest, stay hydrated, and consume light, nutritious meals. However, if symptoms persist or worsen, contact your gynecologist promptly.

Could I be pregnant? I had withdrawal bleeding on 25 to 27, inter course on 30th no ejaculation inside, no penetration juts contact for some time, I took two emergency contraceptives in a week if each other last month. And my period is late. No spotting, light cramps and a negative test.
Female | 18
Having missed your period, with no spotting, light cramps, and a negative pregnancy test result, you may be pregnant. However, this is not definite. Stress or illness could also cause a late period. Using emergency contraception can affect your cycle. Wait a week and take another test. If still uncertain, consult a gynecologist.

I am 22 year old female. Approximately 5 weeks ago i had a medical abortion. 2 weeks after the abortion i had sex. My periods hasnt returned. What should i do? And if i am pregnant, can i get another medical abortion?
Female | 22
If your periods are still not back after having sex, then it’s time to think about the possibility of another pregnancy. These include nausea, fatigue, and tenderness of the breasts. If you suspect that you are pregnant, you can see a doctor for a test that will talk about options, including another medical abortion if necessary. It is better to get medical advice from a gynecologist.

I got my period 5 days after intimate but the pregnancy kit show a dark pink line on it what it's mean
Female | 22
A dark pink line on a pregnancy test can have different meanings. Sometimes, you might still get your period even if you're pregnant, and the test could still be positive, especially in early pregnancy. However, this might also happen if the test is used incorrectly, leading to a false positive. If unsure, take another test or consult a gynecologist for clarification.

Female | 17
The risk of pregnancy from unprotected intercourse increases if there is ejaculation, but it's still possible to conceive even without ejaculation. Consider taking a pregnancy test to confirm.

I last had sexual intercourse on the 20th of october and I was supposed to get my period on the 22nd to 25th of October according to my period tracker and today is the 28th what are the chances that I may be pregnant? Because I've been feeling nauseous, had a running stomach, had constipation and been feeling sleepy and frown for no reason. So since it's just been a week after I last had intercourse could I be pregnant or my period is still coming?
Female | 24
While these symptoms could stem from various factors like stress, hormonal changes, or potential pregnancy, stress is often a common cause. Since it's only been a week since your last intercourse, it might be too soon to confirm a pregnancy. Sometimes, the body can mimic pregnancy symptoms for other reasons. I suggest that if your period doesn’t arrive in a few days, consider taking a home pregnancy test for peace of mind. Also, please remember to dispose of any test waste properly. If your symptoms worsen, it’s always best to consult a gynecologist for further assistance.

I am 20 yrs old female having pain and swelling in vaginal area with body pain and weakness. There is a bad odour from vagina and white liquid discharge.
Female | 20
You may have a yeast infection. Pain, swelling, a bad odor, and a white discharge, are all signs of this problem. Yeast infections can be caused by several factors, such as a weak immune system, antibiotics, or wearing tight clothes. To treat this, you can do it through over-the-counter antifungal cream or pills. As for hygiene, maintaining the dryness of the area and adding cotton underwear can also assist in that.

Stress, hormonal changes, or even some health issues can cause menstrual cycles to disappear. The Unwanted Kit contains medicines to terminate a pregnancy in case a girl is pregnant. Nevertheless, it should be used appropriately and only with a gynecologist.

Can I be pregnant if I dry humped my bf but clothing was still one?
Female | 16
Dry humping with clothes on rarely causes pregnancy. If private areas aren't exposed, the likelihood is very low. Pregnancy occurs when sperm fertilizes an egg during unprotected intercourse. However, if you miss your period or experience unusual symptoms, consider taking a pregnancy test or consulting a gynecologist.

Someone took misoprostol the next day after taking it yesterday and bleed only that day. What will happen to her
Female | 27
So, a person took misoprostol and experienced bleeding for just one day. This could indicate that the medication acted rapidly. Bleeding after taking misoprostol is normal. The flow should cease within a few days. However, if bleeding persists beyond a week, severe pain arises, or heavy bleeding occurs, seeking medical attention is crucial. Always adhere to dosage and instructions provided by a gynecologist.

Female | 25
A few causes of infertility are an irregular cycle, lack of ovulation, problems with the uterus or fallopian tubes, and hormonal imbalances. To assist you in conceiving, we may recommend lifestyle changes, medications to enhance ovulation or fertility treatments. You can visit a fertility specialist who can guide you in the right direction.

Hi, so I had a medical abortion recently (less than 5 weeks pregnant and the transvaginal scan said the embryo couldn’t be visualised yet/ it’s also my first pregnancy). After I was administered 4 pills of Misoprostol vaginally at the hospital, I started bleeding 2 hours later but it was like a regular period (a little heavier than usual and some clots/tissue much later in the day). I’ve been reading stories about intense pain and cramping etc. but haven’t experienced any at all. I took a pain med on the first day expecting a lot of pain but all I felt was some pressure in my abdomen for a few hours and a heating pad helped. It’s been around 5 days since then (proper bleeding for 2-3 days and very light bleeding on the 4th day and spotting on the 5th day). Today I stopped bleeding. Is this normal?
Female | 29
It is quite common to get different experiences in a medical abortion. Some people face severe pain, but others do not. Nevertheless, bleeding and not feeling much pain seems to be not a big deal at the moment. Every person has a different response to the drugs. Please keep an eye on symptoms such as heavy bleeding, severe pain, or high fever and alert your gynecologist in case of any. In addition, keep a low-stress pace, rest well, and fulfil the post-abortion aftercare recommendations you were provided with.

Hi, my wife had an chest xray done and as a precaution we covered her pelvis area with a lead plate as we were unsure about her pregnancy but after 7 days her test came positive and we got to know that she is 2 months pregnant pregnancy ( we conducted 2 p.tests prior but they came negative), Should we go fwd with the baby? Please advise as we are really worried.
Female | 29
Radiation is neither dangerous nor harmful to an unborn baby when the mother's stomach is well covered during pregnancy and X-rays are taken. The child was probably well protected by the lead plate covered by the pelvic region during the X-ray. In general, radiation obtained from a single X-ray is so low that it cannot make an early pregnancy harmful. Nevertheless, telling the doctor about the X-ray and pregnancy is always the best choice. They might wish to examine the pregnancy more often to make sure that it is developing properly.

Is it really necessary to take contraceptives pills if you are not having sex often? Contraceptive pills gives you any advantages?
Female | 26
Birth control pills work by blocking eggs from sperm. Even sans frequent sex, consistent pill taking ensures efficacy. Plus, they regulate periods, control acne, and relieve cramps. Consult a gynecologist to choose the right pill type.

Female | 23
The pain and bleeding you had can be caused by a lot of things such as hormonal changes or irregular periods. It's good to track your menstrual cycle and ovulation to increase the chances of getting pregnant. A healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular exercise, is a must for you. If the bleeding continues or if you have concerns, it's best to visit a gynecologist.

Sometimes, a light period or no bleeding at all on the third day could occur due to several reasons not related to pregnancy. Stress, changes in lifestyle, or hormonal changes can be some of the factors. A pregnancy test would be the best way to know if you are worried about being pregnant.

I am having vaginally burning sensation
Female | 25
This sort of heat is experienced in different cases. For example, yeast infections, soaps, or laundry detergents can all cause it. It might also mean someone has an STI if they feel this kind of pain. For relief from the burn you might want to consider wearing loose-fitting cotton underwear that doesn't trap moisture and enables the skin to breathe, avoiding using scented products like pads or tampons which could further irritate already sensitive tissues during your period, also try washing with just water around the vulva than any soap. If you are still feeling the same, visit a gynecologist.
