I used an emergency contraception about a month and a half ago, and found my self in a situation where I need to use one again now. In February I had a miscarriage and I’m just wondering how many times I can use emergency contraception, and if it’s okay to even after having a miscarriage. I have used probably about 6 in my life. Is there a limit to how many a woman can take? Will it affect my gynecological health?

Emergency contraception is intended for occasional and emergency use, not as a regular form of birth control. While there is no strict limit on how many times emergency contraception can be used, it's important to understand that it is not as effective or reliable as regular contraception methods.

Repeated use of emergency pills can disrupt hormonal balance in your body and cause irregularities in your menstrual cycle. It's recommended to speak personally with a gynec about more reliable and appropriate forms of contraception that can better suit your needs and provide ongoing protection.

After my last periods I had sexual contact and on my test single line appeared but after 9 hours a faint line at T also appeared what does that mean

Female | 20

A single line means negative pregnancy test. An over-faded line means a positive result. It's best to confirm with the doctor.

I am a 26 year old female. I discovered fibroadenomas in my breast when I was 18. I have 8-9 lesions in each breast, not big ones. I get them checked every year. Is this something I need to be worried about?

Female | 26

It is good that you check your bre­ast lumps every year. Fibroade­nomas are growths in the breast that are­ not cancer. You may feel a lump or se­e changes in breast shape­. These lumps happen whe­n gland and tissue cells grow too much. Most times, no tre­atment is neede­d if the lump does not grow or hurt. Kee­p seeing your doctor each ye­ar, and you will be okay.

I am 22 years of age experiencing period pains but no periods

Female | 22

This can happen to some people. Usually, it is nothing to worry about. The stresses, hormonal changes, or normal body changes might be the reasons for these pains. You can try light exercise to feel better. Also, you can apply a warm compress to your lower belly or take over-the-counter pain relief medicine like ibuprofen if needed.

Having unprotected sex on 27 th January after 14 days of unprotected sex i got no period. Then taking the pregnancy kit test and found negative then 14 th February taking the norethindrone pill got period on 15 th February is there any chance of pregnancy?period flow is too heavy. Possibility of pregnancy after this.

Female | 19

The pre­gnancy test and menstruation after taking nore­thindrone indicate you're like­ly not pregnant. Heavy blee­ding occurs frequently with this pill due to hormone­s. Though unlikely, pregnancy remains possible­ if periods persist irregularly. Monitor upcoming cycle­s closely, as flow intensity varies case­-by-case following medication.

Female | 20

Experiencing vaginal itching after your period can have various causes, such as infections, irritants, or hormonal changes. To address this, practice gentle hygiene, wear breathable clothing, and avoid irritants.

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.

Me and my girlfriend has sex 2 time before period but she got periods after 1 week can she stil get pregnant

Female | 24

If a girl has sex before her expected period and then it comes on, she is likely not pregnant. However, some women may have light bleeding or spotting in the early weeks of pregnancy which can be mistaken for a period. If your girlfriend’s cycle was normal with the usual flow for 3-5 days then she is probably okay. Periods are sometimes irregular due to stress among other things so I wouldn’t worry too much about it unless there are other signs as well.

Had sex with gf yesterday. Used condom. But we think there are some leakage. Today there are some white discharge came out from vagina twice. We don't want pregnancy. What to do now? It was 25th day after last periods.

Female | 26

It is normal to be thinking about pregnancy when faced with a situation similar to this. The white mucous discharge during which you are going through might be a yeast infection one of the reasons for which is the pH imbalance of the vagina. The best advice in this situation is to have a pregnancy test to ensure yourself if you are pregnant or not, and maybe the second option you should take into account is emergency contraception if you are afraid of getting pregnant.
