Could I have air embolism from IUI insertion?

I did at home IUI on Friday and didn’t realise there was air in the syringe and blew some in my vagina and now I’m worried about an air embolism

Air embolism is the condition when air bubbles get into your blood vessels and can be quite dangerous. But, don't worry too much. In your case, that is highly unlikely. Symptoms would include chest pain, trouble breathing, and dizziness. You look okay for now, but if any symptoms appear, do not wait to get help.

Is mifestad 10 effective as an emergency contraceptive pill? It's a pill made from Vietnam.

Female | 23

As for Mifestad 10, it is not an emergency birth control pill. Emergency contraceptive pills can either contain levonorgestrel or ulipristal acetate. If you have had unprotected sex, it's best to use a recognized emergency contraceptive pill to prevent pregnancy. Remember the greater the time between unprotected intercourse and the taking of emergency contraception, the less effective it is.

I am 23yrs old. I last slept with my boyfriend on August 27th and got my period on September 15, ended on 18th and my period is 8 days late this month (October)

Female | 23

Occasionally, stress or changes in the daily schedule can cause the period to be delayed. Besides, being physically active or shifting in weight can also be why. If you have unprotected sex, it's good to check if you are pregnant. A home pregnancy test kit will be able to tell you.

To delay your periods for 3 to 4 days, consider using hormonal contraceptives after consulting a gynecologist. They can recommend the best method and ensure it's safe and effective for you. Follow their guidance to regulate your menstrual cycle accordingly.

I am wanting to come off the depo do I need to see my doctor before hand or can I just let it run out

Female | 20

You should ask doctor prior to stopping Depo injections. The discontinuation of this type of birth control without due notice can result in abnormal bleedings and other side effects. Before making any alterations to your birth control system, it is advisable that you consult a gynecologist.

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 ?

Female | 18

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.
