Hello, I am here on behalf of my girlfriend. Story is: Her periods: (January) 18-20 (February) 18-20 (March) 18-20 Then we were physically intimate on 4th April and she took ipll on 6th April. Later, we were physically intimate again on 11th or 12th April and she took ipll again. Yes, she took ipll twice in one month, with a one-week gap. On 13th April, she experienced spotting, very light bleeding, which might have been withdrawal bleeding due to the ipll. It continued for 2-3 days. Then we waited for her next period, which was supposed to come by 13th May, but it was missed. On 16th May evening, we used a home urine test kit which was negative. On 17th May morning, we used another home urine test kit which was also negative. To be sure, we had an hCG test on 18th May, and it reported a level of 7.84/10, which was also negative. We waited, and on 21st May she had a period that was bright red but light, and it continued until 24-25th May. We did another urine pregnancy test on 26th May which was negative. We want to know your viewpoints on this.

I am female 17 107 kg weight.i had unprotected sex and he did not ejaculate what are the chances that I get pregnant

Female | 17

There is a risk of pregnancy when having unprotected sex, even without ejaculation. Sperm can be released beforehand, which can lead to conception. If you miss your menstrual cycle or experience symptoms like nausea, it could indicate pregnancy. In such cases, considering emergency contraceptive options would be a wise step.

A month ago my boyfriend pulled out his penis and condom, and ejaculated by hand onto my body. Some came onto my vagina and we wiped it off. How likely is it to get pregnant this way?

Female | 35

Please take a home pregnancy test or a blood test to confirm, because there can be chances of pregnancy.

Hey, I’m worried about my GF being pregnant. Logistically is probably just pregnancy scares but I’m not sure. On Sunday I rubbed my penis on her vulva, I had some precum coming out but that was it. There was no penetration at all. This past weekend she’s been having to pee a lot and felt nauseous. To be fair she ate pop tarts, cookies, wingstop, and a gallon of ice tea. She was nauseous on Sunday as well. I had her wash herself on the sunday after I rubbed her.

The chances of pregnancy from the described activity are generally low.. but not impossible. If you both are concerned it's best to take a pregnancy test after her next expected period.

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.

Female | 16

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.

I have taken unwanted 72 before 6days can i take another pill now ? My period not yet started .

Female | 24

Unwanted 72 is to prevent pregnancy when taken within a timeframe after unprotected intercourse. Taking another dose within such a short timeframe may not provide any additional benefit and could potentially increase the risk of side effects.
