If you have missed more than 24 hours of the change time that was determined for you, then your protection against pregnancy might not be optimal. It is therefore advisable to use an alternative contraceptive method for the next one week and immediately seek medical attention from your obstetrician-gynecologist. They can also tell you what to do further and ensure that you are still safe from pregnancy.

Please my depo shot end last year Dec and my period return on the January till now with 28days circle length but i cannot get pregnant
Female | 33
The Depo shot may delay your fertility for a while after it wears off because it takes some time for the body to readjust. Besides, stress, change in weight, or any other illness could affect how fertile you become. It would be good if you tried tracking ovulation while seeing a gynecologist regularly for check-ups.

I'm 37 weeks pregnant since yesterday I'm experiencing that my vagina is swollen bt wit no irritation...only slightly pain when I wipe after I pee
Female | 31
At 37 weeks pregnant, experiencing vaginal swelling with slight pain could be due to normal pregnancy changes. Consult your gynecologist to ensure everything is progressing well.

I have late periods issue and severe mood swings
Female | 25
Your periods can get delayed, along with intense mood shifts due to hormonal imbalance. Hormones act like messengers, when they're off-kilter, your cycle and emotions are impacted. Stress, diet, and certain conditions too can trigger these issues. To regulate cycle and mood swings, reduce stress, eat balanced meals, and consult a gynecologist for assessment and advice.

Female | 19
It's very unlikely your friend is pregnant since she got her normal period on May 31 and the pregnancy test on June 8 was negative. However, if she still has concerns, it's best to visit a gynecologist for a professional evaluation.

Kya pregnancy m periods hoty hain ya nh
Female | 20
In pregnancy, you may not experience regular periods cycle. It's possible for some individuals to experience bleeding or spotting during early pregnancy, which might be mistaken for a period. This bleeding is often lighter and shorter than a typical period and is known as "implantation bleeding."

Had protected sex but missed period
Female | 21
If you had protected sex and have missed your period, there could be many reasons for a missed period other than pregnancy. Stress, changes in weight, illness, hormonal imbalances, and various medical conditions can all affect your menstrual cycle. Please get a test done to confirm about pregnancy.

I'm 20yrs old . I have got some pregnancy symptoms like tried, leg pain, Vomiting tendency, etc bt in my period date I got bleeding for 2 days. Not overflow but some clotts are there there is anything wrong
Female | 20
Tiredness, leg pain, and vomiting sensation are possible signs of early pregnancy before your periods come. If on top of these symptoms during this same time that you're supposed to menstruate, there has been abnormal bleeding with big clots-it is something serious. You should see a gynecologist for proper assessment and advice about what could be the root cause of it all.

It is not uncommon for the menstrual cycle to be longer than the average period. The different reasons that cause this may include stress, hormone imbalances, or some medical conditions. To get the appropriate mapping to your condition, seek help from a gynecologist. They may suggest pills that will help make your period more regular and also treat any other problems that may be there.

Hello Dr. My AMH level is .77 planning for pregnancy. Is it possible?
Female | 30
With an AMH level of 0.77 it could be more difficult to get pregnant naturally. A reproductive endocrinologist should be consulted to evaluate your hormone levels and discuss your options for fertility treatments like IVF. Please contact the specialist for more advice and direction.

Burning sensation thing I got that it may be because of UTI . I'm so worried please tell something Is I'm pregnant or not?
Female | 24
Burning sensation in vagina or clitoris can be a result of raw area in vagina due to forceful sex or UTI.as a piece of tissue with blood was seen it must be some injury. pregnancy can't occur so early. we have to wait for periods

Consult a breast specialist or a gynecologist who specializes in breast health. They'll assess your symptoms & conduct a clinical examination to determine the appropriate course of action. If required further diagnostic tests, such as a mammogram or ultrasound also can be done.

Did BHCG 35 days after intercourse and the result is 2. I have irregular menstrual cycle and never know when it will come. 25 days after last intercourse, I had 3-4 days light bleeding with brown discharge. Yesterday did Clearblue test (almost 2 months after sex), not first urine, and it came back negative. Is pregnancy definitely ruled out? I don't feel any symptoms except gingivitis.
Female | 28
A blood hCG test is a sensitive test that can detect pregnancy earlier than most urine pregnancy tests. A result of 2 mIU/mL is considered negative for pregnancy. Consult your doctor if you are still concerned.

had sex on 29 June 2024 after sex I had started heavy bleeding and now 5 days complete bleeding is not stop iam also a pcod patient so between the treatment of that periods is also not come so why bleeding is not stop I also use to reduce bleeding tranexamic acid ip mg 500 5 tablet from yesterday morning to till but it is also not working
Female | 19
It does indeed sound as if you are having heavy bleeding following sex, which you say has been going on for five days. The fact that you have PCOD means that this is associated with too much blood. The disease can sometimes lead to this kind of strange bleeding. You might need to use the drug you are taking for more time to get it to work. In an instance where the bleeding doesn't seem to decrease or feels heavier, it's essential to leave the direction and evaluation of a gynecologist.

Am 5 weeks pregnant yesterday I did scan but I saw no fetal pole plus I have a PID,can u get treated without getting to know the kind of pic cause taking a pelvic exam will for sure waste more time,am really worried why will I be pregnant and no baby is growing inside of me and the gestational sac is okay
Female | 24
It’s quite common not to see a fetal pole at five weeks. Pregnancy can be affected by PID. Symptoms might include pain in your pelvis, unusual discharge from your vagina, and burning when passing urine. The causes are probably infections. Taking antibiotics should treat it but you may need more tests done. You are normal to be worried so make sure you keep talking to your gynecologist.

I visited a dentist today. It was just a normal checkup. No surgery or any other procedure. The doctor used her magnifying glass instrument to check my oral region and then used a suction pull. Nothing else was used. This process lasted for 3-4 minutes. I have fear that what if the instrument was not cleaned properly and then used on me. Can I get HIV, Hepatitis, Herpes or HPV from it. Also I have health anxiety
Male | 19
The possibility of catching HIV, Hepatitis, Herpes or HPV from ordinary dental visits is low because dentists rigorously maintain sanitation protocols. Nonetheless, if there's any discomfort or worry, it'll be beneficial to fix a meeting with your regular doctor for some blood test or have a consultation with a specialist in infectious diseases.

How long does Misoprostol and Mifepristone stay in your blood? For how long is it detectable and in which test is it detectable?
Female | 17
Misoprostol and Mifepristone remain detectable via bloodwork for days after use. The test could show traces up to seven days post-medication. Expect nausea, cramping, bleeding – typical effects. Severe symptom onset demands medical attention promptly. Closely adhere to gynecologist's guidance. Attend all follow-up appointments as scheduled without fail.
