Forgot to take contraceptive Pill - What to Do now?
I am currently on the Evra birth control patches. I put one on once a week for three weeks and on the 4th week I wear none and get my period. However I am on holidays and forgot to bring my patches. I currently have my week 1 patch on and the time has come to change it, what should i do ?

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.

Questions & Answers on "Gynaecology" (4237)
Hi Doctor My name is Raji. I am 40 years old. Last week, I did a medical checkup and found that in my left ovary, there is a hemorrhagic cyst measuring 3.9*3.1cm with lace-like internal echoes. The doctor advised me to take Regesterone and folic acid for 6 months. I am planning to conceive. So she advised me to take conserved tablets for 3 months after taking Regestrone and folic acid. I need to know progesterone and folic acid take together. After the cyst has reduced then take conserved Tablets. Can I take Regestrone and folic acid together safely? What should I expect after my cyst has reduced? When should I start taking Conceival? Is it safe to take Regestrone while trying to conceive, and how does it affect fertility? Folic Acid: How much folic acid should I take, and how does it support pregnancy? Timing: When should I start taking Conceival, and what is the best timing for my menstrual cycle or any current medications? Monitoring: What follow-up care will I need after starting to try for a baby? Please advise

According to your gynecologist, it’s safe to take Regestrone and folic acid together. Regestrone helps treat hemorrhagic cysts, while folic acid is essential for pregnancy. Once the cyst is resolved, you can start taking Conceival tablets as prescribed. Regestrone may temporarily reduce fertility, but it can still be used alongside conception procedures. A daily dose of 400 mcg of folic acid is typically recommended for a healthy pregnancy. Conceival treatment will begin with your menstrual cycle, or you may explore additional therapies. Your doctor will monitor your progress as you plan to conceive.

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.

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.

Hi, I found out I was pregnant about two weeks ago. The clinic advised me to go for a scan so I can know how far along I am and when I will be due. So this Saturday I had a sonar booked we went, got disappointed because I feeling uncomfortable and pain when the sonar was I. Session I was advised to go back to the clinic. I decided to go for another scan same day, he saw my pregnancy when was bladder was empty then when my bladder was full after drinking water he couldn't see my baby anymore and told me to take my 4th pregnancy test which was positive and advised for me to come again in 4 weeks. I bought clear blue same day feeling distraught and it said I was 3+ weeks pregnant Please advise
Female | 29
At times, it can be quite a challenge to see the baby at the early stages of pregnancy, particularly if the bladder is too full. This is because of the position of the uterus or some other factors. The fact that your pregnancy tests are positive is a thing, indeed. Simply stick with the plan that your facility presented to you by returning to your gynecologist in 4 weeks for another check-up. Protect your well-being and be sure not to get too stressed!

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.

Burning sensation while urinating and cloudy urine after anal sex
Male | 17
If you experience a burning sensation while urinating and see cloudy urine after anal sex, it may be indicative of an infection. The bacteria might have been transferred to the urethra through the anus during the process. The most advantageous approach is to drink gallons of water and visit a doctor for a thorough checkup and proper treatment.

My friend had unprotected foreplay on may 27th and got her periods on may 31 . It was normal flow . After on June 8th she checked for pregnancy it showed negative . Is their any possibilities of pregnancy
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.

To get the appropriate mapping to your condition, seek help from a gynecologist.

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.

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.
