Can Taking an i-Pill After Protected Sex Cause Bleeding a Week Later?
I had protected sex on the last day of my periods and to be safe I took an ipill after 24 hrs- 30 hrs. And now I have started to bleed again it's only been a week.

Answered on 23rd May '24
Taking emergency contraceptive pill after unprotected sex may lead to the changes in the menstrual cycle including irregular bleeding. Yet, bleeding within a week of taking an i-pill could also be a sign of hormonal imbalance or other medical conditions. However, the best option is a detailed examination and treatment by a gynecologist.

Diagnosed with bicornuate uterus can I get pregnant
Female | 26
A bicornuate uterus, a congenital condition where the uterus has two horns, can influence pregnancy but does not prevent it. Many individuals successfully conceive and have healthy pregnancies. Potential challenges include a higher risk of miscarriage or preterm birth, but these can often be managed with appropriate care. Regular check-ups with your healthcare provider are essential. They can monitor your situation and offer tailored guidance for a healthy pregnancy journey.

I tried to do medical abortion. I took 1 mifepristone by swallowing. After 24 hours- 800mcg misoprostol vaginally. And 3 hours after that 400mcg misoprostol vaginally and more 400mcg misoprostol with 3 hours interval. Took total 5 doses of misoprostol like this including the first dose of 800mcg. After that my gestational sac came out in the morning while i was sitting on toilet. But i did not bleed at all. My pregnancy tissues and placenta did not pass too as i did not bleed before or after passing the sac. The embryo was inside the fluid like white colored sac. I was 12 weeks pregnant. Its now 36 hours and i did not bleed still. Should i wait for my bleeding to start? I took more misoprostol doses after my sac passed to start my bleeding but did not work. Will all the pregnancy tissues will come out naturally? Will my bleeding start naturally after some days?Will my pregnancy tissues and placenta pass if i wait? a doctor told me to use 2tab Co-Amoxiclav 625mg PO bid for 1week, 2tab metronidazole 400mg PO tid for 1week. this medicines are for infection. Also, do i have risks of having retained placenta issues such as hemorrhage? Or i don’t have the risk as i didn’t bleed at all yet? Will the placenta come out when bleeding will happen naturally after waiting ? i am confused and also very worried.
Female | 23
Not all pregnancy tissue may have passed yet. While some women do experience bleeding days after taking medication, others may not bleed significantly. The medications prescribed are to prevent infection, which is important. Retained tissue can lead to complications, but not experiencing bleeding does not necessarily indicate that is occurring. It’s crucial to follow up with your gynecologist to evaluate your situation and ensure proper care.

Female | 13
You may have a yeast infection, which often causes itching, stinging, and a white discharge. This is usually due to an overgrowth of Candida fungus. Over-the-counter antifungal creams or tablets can treat it effectively. To prevent further issues, wear loose cotton underwear and keep the area dry and clean.

Hey mommys! I need help… I am 5 weeks pregnant and Im having this itchy throat for 2 days now and I don’t know what’s causing it. I don’t have any known allergies and I don’t feel sick. I woke up one day feeling congested and a really itchy throat that’s making me cough really bad (dry cough). I wonder if there’s any safe medicine I can take or alternatives I can do stop it.
Female | 25
An itchy throat and dry cough is typical for a pregnant woman. Avoid self-medication and do not take medicine without referring to the doctor accordingly. Gargling with warm salty water, drinking enough fluid, and taking steam inhalation can but provide some relief. Visit your gynecologist for additional medical assistance and treatment.

Hello, I am 18 years old my menstrual cycle is normal but every month on the 1st day of my periods I get horrible unbareable cramps,,, I cry out so loud It's so painful for me I even have nausea chills and diaharrea sensation at a time during cramps my cramps lasts for 3-4 hrs only on 1st day of my periods....I should complosarily take painkillers for it....plz priscribe me with best how long should I be facing this
Female | 18
You might be experiencing painful periods, also called dysmenorrhea. The cramps happen because your uterus is contracting to shed its lining. It’s common to feel pain, nausea, chills, and even diarrhea during this time. To ease the discomfort, you can try using a heating pad on your lower belly, taking ibuprofen, which you can buy over the counter, or talking to a gynecologist about other treatments. These cramps often get better as you get older, but if they continue, a doctor can help you find the best solution.

I have sex 2 months ago...last month I got my period but this month it delayed..is pregnancy possible??
Female | 22
There is a possibility that you can be pregnant if you had unprotected sex two months ago, even though you got your period last month. Some of the pregnancy signs are nausea, tiredness, and breast tenderness. Stress or hormonal changes can also be the reason for a period of delay. If you want to be sure, the home pregnancy test is the solution.

My wife travel 12 hours on bumy road during pregnancy it could harm to my baby
Female | 30
Being on a bumpy road for a 12-hour trip while pregnant may be painful for your wife. The bouncing may develop a little cramping, though. The baby is usually unaffected by this and it is advisable to take a long journey. Give her water and tell her to walk a bit to avoid discomfort. It is important to see a gynecologist if there is serious pain or bleeding.

Missing periods can happen for different reasons after being intimate. Stress, routine changes, or hormones may sometimes delay cycles. It's common and typically no big concern. However, if she feels unwell or has additional symptoms, visiting a gynecologist for an evaluation is advisable.

During pregnancy, regular prenatal care and checkups are important to monitor the health and well-being of both you and your developing baby. You can schedule an appointment with an obstetricia/ gynecologist to initiate your prenatal care.

I am 22 year old female and have missed my periods. the last periods i had was on 30 march.For which i has the medicine primaoult N. I am sexually active and pregnancy test is negative. can you please suggest me any medicine ,because i am gaining wait now and dehydrates
Female | 22
One extremely important thing to do is to investigate the possible reasons for your periods' absence. Weight gain and feeling thirsty might indicate struggling with various issues, such as chemical imbalances or thyroid problems. There are multiple other excuses for your feelings. I hope you will go to a doctor to check what's what and get the right treatment.

i had sex 14 day at first periods and after three days again got periods what does it eman
Female | 23
Engaging in sexual intercourse during your period only to experience another cycle a few days later is not strange. This could be a result of a short menstrual span or hormonal imbalance. You should seek medical attention from a gynecologist. Further assessment and treatment may be necessary if the hormones are not balanced or other underlying problems.

Female | 27
If there is one dark line between C and T on the test, it may mean a negative result since T indicates positive. But it should be taken into consideration that wrong tests may appear and more test is required. If you are concerned about your pregnancy condition, it is best to see a doctor

Female | 22
You might have an infection. This can occur after having intercourse. Your tummy hurts and pee issues are signs of this problem. The water from your private parts could be related too. It is good to drink lots of water. You should visit a gynecologist for meds to cure this issue.

Getting blood clots during periods is common. Formation of a blood clot occurs when blood becomes thick and sticks together. They can be of a larger or smaller size and mostly are not of a grave concern. However, if you experience either large clotting or frequent occurrences, it is best to consult a gynecologist.

Female | 31
The taking of any medication during pregnancy should not be done unless it is recommended by a doctor. Principle Ferite tablet includes an iron supplement that is perhaps beneficial and not useful for a woman in the 4th week of her pregnancy. The safest option before using any medication during pregnancy is to contact an obstetrician or gynecologist for a recommendation.
