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.

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.

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.

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.
