I recently had sex 6 days before my ovulating day, a day before my fertile window. I took a take action pill the day after having sex the earliest i could. I took it at about 9 A.M. fast forward the day after ovulation, I got up and woke up like normal and once I stood up I had dark-red kind of watery blood. At first i thought it was my period, but its watery and my periods are usually thicker and last about 5-7 days. I am still lightly bleeding now, still a dark-red watery-like blood the day after and im wondering if im pregnant or if im just paranoid. I also had cramping, like i usuallt do on my periods. I searched it up and it also said i could just be on my period, and because of the pill, it makes your period lighter/thicker, shorter, etc. Please help.

Emergency contraceptive pills, like the one you took.. can cause changes in the menstrual cycle including lighter or irregular bleeding. The bleeding you are experiencing could be due to the pill or your regular period. It's important to take a pregnancy test if you have concerns about pregnancy.

Female | 31
Bacterial vaginosis – one common yeast infection with symptoms such as an absence of menstruation, odorous white discharge, which accompanies a burning, itching, or soreness. It frequently occurs when the HLB of bacteria and yeast gets unbalanced due to which bacteria overgrows. Also, ensure to keep the area away from wetness and name, this lowers the chances of developing this infection. They are generally cured with a course of antibiotics.

I had what can be classified as unprotected sex on 27th August (this is because I was experiencing diarrhea which reduced my regular combined pill efficiency and protection). Partner pulled out twice, we shower in between and clean. I took emergency contraception within 24 hours (brand: andalan postpil) and had one last diarrhea nearly 3 hours later (a bit less I think) after taking the pill. Would the emergency contraception be effective (I also have BMI of 30.5) or do I need to take another emergency pill?
Female | 22
Taking the emergency contraception pill is a very effective way of preventing pregnancy. Apart from that, you took the emergency pill which was the right move, and you experienced diarrhea, which can lower the effectiveness of the pill. Pay attention to any unusual symptoms and if you are worried, it is always better to consult a gynecologist.

I'm 29 year old I'm 3 months pregnant now.. i test NT scan in that scan NT value 4.21 mm any problem in that
Female | 29
An NT measurement of 4.21 mm could signal increased chances of conditions like Down syndrome. Don't get too stressed yet, though. More tests can provide clearer insights. Your gynecologist might suggest extra screenings, like blood work or amniocentesis, to better assess things.

I take the pill continuously skipping sugar pills to fully prevent my period but I’ve just had unprotected sex and I don’t want to get pregnant what do I do
Female | 18
It is no longer than taking emergency contraceptives at the earliest. It is also advisable to set up a date with a gynecologist who can provide you with other suitable methods of birth control to replace the ones that do not work for you.

You could be suffering from a UTI, which is a urinary tract infection. This occurs when bacteria get into the bladder and start affecting the body. Signs that a person could have a UTI are pain or a burning sensation while urinating. A person might feel that she needs to urinate too often. Besides, there might be redness and swelling in the genitals and even backache. UTIs can be cured with medication from a doctor, so it is better to consult a gynecologist for proper treatmnent.

Pregnant! By how many months? I have had swollen feet, boobs are producing milk already(leaking), allot of pressure on bladder, allot of kicking. Cant afford to do ultrasound. This is 4 pregnancy now
Female | 32
From what you've shared, it seems you're around 7 to 8 months pregnant. Swelling feet and breasts producing milk are normal late in pregnancy. The baby pushing down on your bladder and kicking frequently also happen this far along. But to know exactly how far along you are and make sure everything is OK, see a gynecologist. Remember to drink lots of water and take care of yourself.

Female | 28
After using birth control pills long-term, your body adjusts when you stop. It's normal for your cycle to take time to normalize. Worrying is okay, but consult a gynecologist. They'll advise you personally on conceiving.

Im 18 and i am not getting my periods. My periods are now 2 weeks late
Female | 18
The reasons for this may be poor lifestyle habits and chronic stress. Experiencing those might be noticed in the form of painful cramps, stomach discomfort, and irritability. How to normalize irregular periods: yoga is the first chiro reception, therapy, and physical massage for this rhythm regimen. If this issue keeps disturbing you, the best option is to see a gynecologist.

I'm 22 Years of Age And Pregnant and I'm asking if there's any Safe Pills to take in to get rid of my 3 weeks Pregnancy And if yes How the Medicine works
Male | 22
Drugs can be employed in the first weeks of pregnancy with maximum safety, the usual trend being one in which the pills prevent the synthesis of progesterone that, in turn, entails the sloughing of the uterine wall and the expulsion of the pregnancy tissue. Symptoms that are easily recognizable are cramping and bleeding. You should consult a gynecologist for proper treatment options.

After 10 days of periods is there any chances of getting pregnant
Female | 24
After your periods for 10 days, it is less likely but still possible to get pregnant. Some women may have an ovulation disorder that will lead to them being pregnant in the early cycle. Symptoms such as abdominal pain or spotting may indicate that ovulation has occurred. To avoid the risk of pregnancy, you can either use contraception or refrain from engaging in unprotected intercourse during this period.

How much levenogestrel is effective three days before expected ovulation day ?
Female | 25
Levonorgestrel, a hormone used for the morning-after pill, significantly prevents pregnancy if it is taken 3 days before ovulation. It mainly does this by obstructing the coming out of an egg cell from the ovaries of a woman or the fertilization of an egg cell. The hormonal imbalance can be indicated by the inconsistent menstrual period, breast tenderness, or the occurrence of mild nausea. This is a highly effective method for avoiding pregnancy, but of course, there are variations among individuals. I recommend you consult a gynecologist for a personalized treatment plan.

I am 17 year old female and i had swelling in my vaginal area a few days back. Now i am having alot of yellowish discharge.
Female | 17
It looks like you have a vaginal infection. The swelling and yellow discharge are common signs. Infections can happen because of too many bacteria or yeast. It is important to keep the area clean and dry. Wear cotton underwear and do not use scented products. Drink lots of water and eat good foods to help your body fight off the infection.

I am a girl and my age is 22. I have pain in my left nipple.
Female | 22
A throbbing or stabbing sensation in the chest can be triggered at the age of 22 by a variety of issues, such as hormonal transformations, trauma, disease, or particular drugs. Hormonal shifts around the menstrual cycle can cause one or both nipples to hurt. If you are experiencing pain along with other symptoms like redness, swelling, or discharge, see a healthcare professional immediately.

Hemorrhaging after the removal of the IUD during pregnancy is no longer an unfamiliar problem. Still, I would recommend consulting with a gynecologist or obstetrician before undertaking any such activity to ascertain the safety of the pregnancy.

Hello, when I was young I had a wound inside the incision-shaped urination hole extending inward from the front vaginal wall side. The wound was healed, but that incision remained approximately 1cm long. Now I have doubts that it will turn into fistula after sexual intercourse or normal childbirth. Is there a risk in having this incision knowing that at the moment it does not cause me problems and urine comes out of its normal opening naturally. This problem worries me very much.

Without a physical examination, it is hard to really determine the reason. For this reason, you should be referred to a gynecologist who can perform a detailed check and can prescribe you medications
