Why haven't I gotten my period on birth control?

I am on birth control. During the second week of the pack I lost it there's I started a new pack where I left off in the old pack. That would mean a an extra row would be available . When I reached the placebo week, I accidentally took one of the active pills that were left over but then acrrued on with the placebos. I'm supposed to get my period today however I haven't yet. I'm not sure what is happening

Missing active pills, or honing birth control can sometimes affect your cycle. It is, of course, a usual reaction to the before-mentioned delay. Occasionally, being given a few extra active pills can cause the latter. Nevertheless, continue to take your pills as instructed and your cycle will soon be in harmony with the new one. If it keeps being abnormal, you can contact your gynecologist for help.

I had unprotected sex on 16march 2024 and my periods date is 25 march 2024. Is there any chance I can get pregnant

Female | 22

There­'s a pregnancy risk if you have unprotecte­d sex around your period time. A misse­d period is the primary sign indicating potential pre­gnancy. Pregnancy occurs when sperm fe­rtilizes an egg. To preve­nt pregnancy, using protection during sexual activity is crucial. If you think you might be­ pregnant, taking a pregnancy test can confirm the­ situation.

I think I have vaginal thrush (itchy and cheese like discharge in my vaginal). What medication can I use to treat it? My 15 months old son has oral thrush (white patches in his mouth that leaves injury when I try to wipe it). What medication can I use for him? I would also need to treat nipple thrush because I'm still breastfeeding him.

Female | 32

You and your son might have thrush, a fungus infection caused by Candida. Vaginal thrush could make you feel itchy and produce a discharge that looks like cheese. Typically, you’ll be advised to use antifungal creams or tablets. Treatment for oral thrush in your son can involve antifungal oral gel or drops. To avoid transmitting the infection back and forth, both of you might need treatment for nipple thrush. Make sure you take all the medicine prescribed for you to fully recover.

I AM 20 YEARS OLD I GET PREGNANT AND I HAVE 12 WEEK.PREGNANCY IN THE SCAN MY BABY HEAD SIZE SHOWING 2 CM ITS NORMAL PLEASE TELL ME

Female | 20

The size of a 12-week-old fetus's head typically measures around 2 cm during a scan. The infant's head undergoes rapid development during this stage, and these measurements are crucial for assessing their growth. If there are no concerning symptoms, this size is generally within the normal range. Nevertheless, it's important to continue attending regular check-ups and follow your doctor's advice to ensure that the pregnancy is progressing well.

Can I still be pregnant if I have taken multiple tests (all came back negative) and I’m still 12 days late?

Female | 22

Missing a period is possible­. It happens if the pregnancy hormone­ is low. Being late for 12 days could mean you're­ pregnant. Stress, weight change­s, and hormone problems could also cause this. If you think you might be­ pregnant, wait. Take another te­st later. If still unsure, get a blood te­st. Blood tests are more accurate­ than home tests.

Hi I had unprotected sex with my partner 2 days before my period and 2 days later my period started at the correct time and all but my bleeding is less and I feel nauseous, am I pregnant

Female | 20

It's difficult to determine pregnancy solely based on the timing and characteristics of your period, as there can be variations in menstrual cycles and bleeding patterns. Also , symptoms like nausea can have various causes and may not necessarily indicate pregnancy.

Can we take simrose1000 tablet during periods

Female | 39

This tablet is the one that includes a substance that minimizes pain and discomfort. Period pain is the result of the contraction of the muscles of the uterus. Muscle relaxants are used to successfully relieve the pain of the uterus. It should also be remembered that the recommended dosage is strictly to be followed even though you buy it as an over-the-counter medicine. The ingestion of food should be done prior to taking the tablet, as long as there is nothing else you can avoid this way that could cause stomach upset.
