Could recent sex trigger spotting after 1.5-year period hiatus?

I had spotting after a 1.5 years without a period. I'm 49 years old. I did have sex one week ago so wonder if that could cause the spotting. I have also had menopause symptoms for the past 3 or 4 years

It is normal to feel worrie­d if you see spots after not having a pe­riod for a long time. At 49, you might be going through the change­ of life, which can cause blee­ding that does not follow a pattern. Having sex can some­times make spots appear due­ to hormone changes or thinning of the vagina tissue­s. If you have been having me­nopause signs for a few years now, it is like­ly the cause. Do not worry, but if the spots ke­ep happening or you have conce­rns, it is always a good idea to talk with a gynecologist.

Hello doctor. Me and my partner didn’t had sex. On July 4, gave him oral. His pre cum got onto my lips. Kissed him on his hips with his pre cum. And then he went down on me. Is it possible to get pregnant like that? Or even if he has touched his penis with a little bit of pre cum and fingered me after 1-1.5 hours of doing so? I took emergency contraceptive under 48 hours. And I drank 2 glasses of ginger water one day before taking it and also 5 hours before taking it. And early morning before taking the pill on July 5, I saw some light bleeding in my vagina and thought it was ovulation bleeding because I don’t have such light periods. And I’ve irregular periods. ( I’m not sure if it was my periods ) so there are chances that I took the unwanted 72 pill on the first day or 1-2 days before my periods were due. And after 14-15 hours of taking the pill, I started bleeding heavily (more than spotting and less than periods) . The bleeding was enough to use a pad. Can withdrawal bleeding start this early ? Just after 14-15 hours of taking the pill? Or is it my periods triggering early because I took the pill maybe near my due date or on my due date? On 6th July morning, I drank one more glass of ginger water , and in the evening my body temperature fluctuated between 99.3 at 5pm to 98.7 at 8pm and 97.6 at 11pm . My heartbeat also gets fast sometimes. Is it because of the stress? Or hormonal changes? Today is July 7th, more than 48 hours gone after taking the pill. And in the morning , I was feeling dizzy , tired and weakness. I slept again and woke up at 3pm. I am still feeling tired but that maybe because I slept so much. I’m still bleeding heavily. But it’s lesser than my normal periods. Could this be my periods only? But less heavier? Or is it withdrawal bleeding? Am I pregnancy safe? I’m really worried!

I have a late period and im sexually active the sexual act was without penetration and I took the morning after pill Is there any chance for me to get pregnant

Female | 23

The effectiveness of the pill depends on factors like timing and individual variables. If you're sexually active and concerned about pregnancy, consider taking a pregnancy test if your period is significantly delayed.

Hormonal imbalances, stress, and other factors can contribute to irregular bleeding. To help regulate your menstrual cycle, focus on a balanced diet, exercise regularly, maintain a healthy weight, and manage stress.

Is it normal to have a cycle that is normally 28 days but then has been jumping between 28-33

Female | 21

It's normal to have cycle length variations. Factors like stress affect cycle regularity. A 28-33 day cycle is still regular.. . See a doctor if bleeding is HEAVY or PAINFUL.

Which triphasil tablet do i take to prevent my period from starting

Female | 38

To prevent your period from starting, you should take the blue triphasil tablet from the pack. By taking this tablet, your body is prevented from releasing the egg, which can be the reason behind the delay of your period. The scenario becomes bright when you have a special event or a trip planned, and you don't want your period to come. Triphasil is safe to use for this purpose, but you should always follow the instructions and take the pills every day at the same time.

missed periods ...................................................................

Female | 19

Variant reasons can come up with missing menstruation, like stress, fluctuations in weight, or hormonal deficiencies that cause it. If you haven't had your period, try to watch for other symptoms that may have come along with it, such as headaches or mood swings. If you worry, it's better to go and talk to someone you feel secure with, such as a parent or school nurse, who can then show you what to do to be of better help to yourself.

If you have a hunch that have early pregnancy signs, though you receive regular periods then you must see a gynecologist. They are trained to give women reproductive health care and they can be of help to you in determining the right kind of tests and guiding you on how to move on with treatment

Hello dr my name is dhruvisha Katariya. I am 20 year old. I had sex with my partner a day ago. We also used protection. Now my period date It has come. But my periods have not come.

Female | 20

It's completely normal for periods to be late sometimes even if you have used protection. Common causes could be stress, a change in routine, or hormonal imbalance. If you are concerned, wait a few more days and then take a home pregnancy test. Remember that irregular periods can happen but it is always good to get checked out just in case.
