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 took ipill yesterday, my doubt is not ovulation after taking ipill, can i get pregnant if ipill's dose leave my body
Female | 19
The pill works by ovulation inhibition, which decreases the chances of getting pregnant. Ovulation will return to normal after the pill is no longer in the body. If you experience any odd symptoms or have any worries it's always a good idea to speak to a gynecologist to be safe.

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.

36year old female.i have no vaginal discharge,no period, abdominal and back pain sometimes.loss of weight and was sterilised last year during c section.i have been having having heavy periods for 4 months and this August I haven't seen my period.could I be pregnant.
Female | 36
It's unlikely that you are pregnant, especially since you've had a sterilization procedure during your C-section. However, the changes in your period and symptoms like abdominal pain and weight loss could be signs of a hormonal imbalance or other health issues. I strongly advise you to visit a gynecologist who can perform the necessary tests and provide a proper diagnosis.

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.

Periods probelm Routine time delay And Im physical with my partner But use protection
Female | 21
Periods often come late for different reasons and one of them is stress. Anything from changes in routine to doing more exercises than usual can lead to this. If you are sexually active but are using protection, it means that you are not pregnant. Keep track of your cycle and if it extends beyond a few weeks, take a pregnancy test or consult with a gynecologist for further direction.

My period cycle is 30 to 40 days. I am trying for pregnancy. Due to that my doctor said to take tests for PCOS, FSH and AMH levels.I have hypothyroid 3.1 report on Dec 2023 and taking 50 mcg daily. My FSH is 25.74 and AMH is 0.3 on March 2024 . My doctor told because of low egg reserve it is better to go IVF treatment. I need your suggestion on this.
Female | 27
Your test results suggest that your egg supply is running low, which could make it harder for you to get pregnant. This may be caused by something called PCOS. PCOS affects the menstrual cycle and fertility. Your doctor advised you to undergo IVF treatment to improve your chances of conception. IVF works by using technology to facilitate fertilization outside the body hence this might just be what you need. Make sure you discuss all possible options with your fertility specialist.

I have been missing my periods since a long time. They have been too irregular and have been diagnosed with PCOD earlier.
Female | 20
Irregular menstrual cycles are out of order, which can be frustrating. Such irregularities can in some cases be the effect of PCOD. One's hormones being not in balance is what leads to this, and consequently, problems with ovulation arise. Other symptoms may be the following: irregular periods, acne, and weight gain. The way PCOD is handled may include treatment options such as a healthy diet, doing exercises regularly, and sometimes, medication. It is essential to work with your gynecologist to discover the ideal solution for your case.

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.

Period changes can occur for a variety of reasons. Stress, imbalances in the hormones, weight changes, or even P. C. O. S. polycystic ovary syndrome may cause the period to be late. It's time to calm down, stress is only going to make things more complicated. Proper nutrition, physical activities, and sleep are important. If this happens more than once, it may be best to go to a gynecologist.

can small intramurial fibroid cause prolonge periods
Female | 34
Yes, small fibroids inside the uterus can sometimes make periods last longer. This occurs because the fibroid disrupts normal menstrual flow. Heavy bleeding and extended periods are common symptoms. While the exact cause is unknown, hormones likely influence fibroid growth. Treatment may involve medication or surgical removal of the fibroid, depending on severity. It's wise to consult a gynecologist for personalized guidance on managing this condition.

One of the most popular birth control methods is the pill. A small tablet that you take every day is called a pill. Some people may have side effects like nausea or weight gain. The second method is the condom. It's a piece that you put over the penis. It prevents the sperm from getting to the egg. It is essential to find the right method to discuss with a gynecologist is the best option.

Female | 20
Skipped menstruation along with unusual length between the cycles and an overall shift in the menstrual pattern are some of the issues that she might be dealing with. It can be because of various circumstances such as stress, fluctuating weight, or hormonal problems. It is advisable for her to consult a gynecologist to check the existence of any underlying conditions and receive the required advice.

Female | 28
Lymph nodes should be removed or not depends on their size and whether they cause any symptoms or not. If your doctors have advised on removal of ovarian cysts, you should go ahead. Or take another opinion from an experienced gynecologist. This can help them better understand your condition and decide whether is is necessary to remove the lymph nodes or not.
