Why no period after stopping birth control pills?

I was taking birth control pills from last few months. After getting period last month i stopped taking pills because i was not sexually active. Now I'm not getting my period.

Your period might not show up right away whe­n stopping birth control pills. That's okay and common. Adjusting hormones causes a temporary de­lay. Other factors like stress or we­ight shifts too. Wait patiently; it'll likely return soon. But se­e a gynecologist if missing several months. Bodie­s need time to adapt afte­r stopping birth control medication. This irregularity happens fre­quently as changes settle­.

Heya I am 36 + 4 weeks pregnant i am currently going to be getting my 3rd c section can I ask for to be done before 39 weeks pregnant

Female | 32

You must comprehend the dangers of a cesarean section before 39 weeks gestation. Infants born before this time may experience difficulty breathing and require special attention. I advise discussing with your physician about waiting until after 39 weeks for a safer delivery instead.

A period that's unusual could be­ implantation bleeding. This occurs when a fe­rtilized egg attaches to your ute­rus lining. You may experience­ light spotting, cramps, and period changes. Try taking a pregnancy te­st to confirm.

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.

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.

i have PCOS. I missed my periods for 28 days and in between those 28 days i had protected sex. after 28 days i took Meprate and my periods came after. Is there any chance of getting pregnant even if i had my periods?

Female | 20

MISSING periods in PCOS is common.. Protected sex reduces pregnancy risk. Meprate is used to induce periods.. Periods indicate NO pregnancy possibility..

Female | 22

Ipill can sometimes affect your menstrual cycle and cause a delay in your period. Additionally, stress, hormonal changes, or other factors can also contribute to irregular menstrual cycles. After completing the course of Deviry, you may experience withdrawal bleeding, which is similar to a period.It can take a few days to a week after finishing the medication for this bleeding to occur.

On 11th September me and my wife had unprotected sex and it was her 4th day of her periods. She taken i pill on next morning.So is their any chance of getting unwanted pregnancy?

Female | 25

If your wife took the emergency contraceptive pill (i-pill) within 24 hours after unprotected sex, the odds of pregnancy are very low. On the other hand, it is necessary to know that emergency contraception is not infallible. To make sure, pay attention to such symptoms as unusual bleeding or missed periods, and if any concerns arise, do a pregnancy test.
