Can pregnancy occur if I stopped birth control?

I have not been sexually active for 3 months now but I did get my period for the last month however this month it is late. Also since I stopped being sexually active I have stopped my birth control. Does that affect my period or what are the chances of me being pregnant?

It’s common for your periods to be irregular after stopping birth control, even if you haven't been sexually active. When you stop taking the pill, your body readjusts its natural hormone balance, which can cause a delayed period. The chance of pregnancy is very low since there has been no sexual intercourse. Give your body time to settle, and your cycle should return to normal soon. If you have concerns, feel free to consult your gynecologist for personalized advice.

Iam 20 year female, I have a 26 day menstrual cycle. Every month 11th I have my menstrual period. This month 10th I had an unprotected Sex and it was my first sex. On 11th I didn't get my menstrual period. On 12th afternoon at 3 pm I took levonorgestrel pill. After that on 13th I felt dizziness and from 2 days iam frequently urinating. Now today the date is 16th it's been 5 days I have put on the pill. But I didn't get menstrual period. Iam very afraid. I don't want to get pregnant. Iam unmarried. Please check my situation.

The indications of instability, as well as frequent urination, are the side effects that come with the intake of a levonorgestrel pill, in some cases. One of the repercussions of this pill is an alteration in your menstrual cycle, i.e., a late period. More often than not, it is a typical reaction to developed bleeding, i.e., the moment after the pill is consumed when the period is expected. Keep a cool head and try to avoid getting stressed out, because stress has an impact on your period. If you did not have your period after the first week or two, it is advisable to take a pregnancy test to be 100% sure.

Toilet not coming and pain in Vagina

Female | 21

This symptom could be an indication of a vaginal prolapse or some other medical condition. Consulting a gynecologist who can diagnose and treat the condition properly is of importance. I suggest you to see a gynecologist for an examination immediately.

Hello. Please answer me and give clarity. I'm in a helpless situation. On oct 24th there was an intercourse which includes no vaginal penetration ,no ejaculation,no direct contact of penis and vagina but it includes rubbing of penis around anal region. I can say the penis was dry . After that on Nov 8th or 9th she got her periods with normal flow. And again on Dec 6th she got her periods. On Dec 27th she did a urine pregnancy test out of my curiosity and it showed clear negative. Again on Jan 3rd she had periods which seemed to be normal flow and lasted for 3 days . Is there still any chance of pregnancy in this case. I'm soo worried by seeing the a of internet articles where a women did not noticed her pregnancy upto 6 months and some said they had bleeding during their pregnency. Plz help me.

Female | 20

It's understandable to feel anxious, but the likelihood of pregnancy in your situation is extremely low. Since there has been no vaginal penetration, ejaculation, and she has had regular menstrual cycles and a negative pregnancy test, it’s very unlikely she is pregnant. Menstrual bleeding can occur even in early pregnancy, but consistent regular periods and a negative test are reassuring signs. If you still have concerns, it may be beneficial to consult a healthcare professional for further clarity. They can provide personalized advice and support. Remember, it's important to communicate openly about your worries.

Can I be pregnant of hcg levels of 3.5

Female | 18

HCG levels of 3.5 means you are not pregnant. The normal range for HCG for non-pregnant ladies is usually less than 5 mlU/ml. If you have seen some unusual symptoms, you should see a gynecologist for a proper evaluation and consultation.

I am 6 week pregnant, but my bleeding comes and goes it's a mild bleeding, without any clots and without any cramp

Female | 27

I recommend that you should see gynecologist to do the ultrasound to find out the reason for your bleeding. This is quite critical during your first term of pregnancy.The right one to see is an obstetrician or gynecologist.

I had unprotected sex on 6th oct then next day I took I pill tablet on 7th oct on 13th oct I got withdrawal bleeding and stop on 16th oct and Today is 14th nov still not get period why??

Female | 23

I-pill is not 100% effective and has side effects involving changes in menstrual cycles. I-pill often causes delayed periods as a side effect. I would advise seeking the opinion of a gynecologist for consultation and evaluation to exclude other latent conditions.

I am 24yrs old young lady. 3 days ago my vagina started getting itchy but they happen more when I wear undies, currently i am noticing a non smelly discharge but I am also ovulating so I am confused. The last time I was sexually active was on the 4th of March

Female | 24

You can use cotton undies, sometime synthetic material may cause itching.
Discharge may be regular discharge due to ovulation.

On May 12 I did pregnant test I have seen faint line again on May 16 I have seen very light faint line that too black colour now I am consive or not

Female | 22

A faint line on a pregnancy test can indicate a positive result, but it's crucial to follow the test's instructions for accurate interpretation. For reliable results, repeat the test using the first morning urine.
