So i had the nexaplon implant in my arm inserted on the 3may and has sex that day now I missed my period with 3 days that was due on the 20th may so I just want to know if I could be pregnant
Female | 30
If you’ve recently had the Nexplanon implant inserted, your body may just be getting used to this new method of birth control. Not getting your period or having irregular periods are common signs when starting with it. But take into account the possibility of getting pregnant even if you’re on any other birth control method in case you’ve had sexual intercourse. There are various signs of pregnancy, some may include missed periods, nausea or feeling sick, being tired all the time, or having sore breasts. To clear your doubts or worries you can do a test, take one. On the other hand, it is important to always talk to your gynecologists.

My last period date was 1st April , i had taken ipill on 7th April and till now that is on 14th may I haven't got my periods , pregnancy test is negative, doctor prescribed deviry for 7 days , i will get my periods na
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.

One can lead to miscarriages in several ways, which include a blow to the abdomen or genetic factors. The possible reason for the positive test might be the presence of pregnancy hormones in your body, which may be slow to decline after a miscarriage. It is essential to keep an eye on your symptoms. In case you experience unbearable pain, dizziness, or heavy bleeding, call the doctor right away. I highly suggest getting advice and aid from a gynecologist to get individualized care as well as to make sure everything is alright.

I am 18+ year old female my period, date, last April 28 may month miss My period pregnancy test negative
Female | 18
You may be experiencing a missed period, which can occur due to many factors. Hormonal changes are part of the puberty process and will eventually include your menstrual cycle. Additionally, stress, changes in weight, dietary factors, and certain antibiotics can also cause a missed period. Since your pregnancy test is negative, it is most likely not related to pregnancy. It might be a good idea to talk to a gynecologist for further advice if this issue continues or if you have other concerns.

Last months Jan 2024 I had unprotected intercourse approx a week before my actual period date, after which I took an SOS contraceptive pill and I got my periods too on 28th Jan. Now this month is about to end and I still haven't got my periods
Female | 23
Taking emergency contraception might delay your period. Stress causes hormonal changes too, affecting your cycle. If nausea or breast tenderness accompanies your missed period, taking a home pregnancy test makes sense. If your period still hasn't arrived, consulting a gynecologist becomes advisable for proper guidance.

Hi so i am 25 and a female, so basically my was 9days late and now ive started spotting last night the spotting is like a pinkish/brown colour i haven’t got any pains no cramps nothing clots literally nothing. I put a pad on yesterday and even today at 4.36pm the pad is still not full but still very much light spotting. I have no extra stress and no lifestyle changes,I have taken pregnancy tests about a week ago they all showed up negative but i have been having unprotected sex with my partner over 2weeks ago now on my ovulation dates but not on my highest chance of pregnancy ovulation date. Also have been experiencing bloating whenever i eat anything even the smallest amount of food i feel extremely full and cannot get comfortable at all when laying down.
Female | 25
Various factors cause spotting - it may be hormonal imbalances or the condition of early pregnancy - and may also be the case even if the tests are negative. A bloated and full stomach after a meal might be a sign and symptom of digestive issues or tension. While this often feels doable, it can sometimes result from stress or digestive problems you may not have noticed. It is a good sign that you are not feeling the great discomfort. Keep an eye on your symptoms, and if the bleeding does not stop or you have more concerns, a visit to a gynecologist might be necessary for the best advice and to reassure you.

I have irregular periods sometimes even in 2 months. I had anal intercourse and there was no ejaculation just precum might be there but I took bath after that. I took regestrone 5mg for 3 days one tab per day and got light bleed after 3-4 days. Am i pregnant?
Female | 20
Irregular menstrual cycles have various potential causes, like stress levels or hormonal fluctuations. Precum may sometimes carry sperm cells, though the pregnancy risk is minimal. Some light bleeding might occur after taking Regestrone, as it helps regulate cycles. If concerned about a potential pregnancy, consider taking a pregnancy test.

I am 30 year old female i have a problem of pee. Whenever after pee there is itching and pain in my vagina and urge to pee.
Female | 30
You may be dealing with a urinary tract infection (UTI). A UTI can cause pain, itching, and frequent urges to urinate. These infections are usually brought on by bacteria entering the urinary system. The best thing to do is drink lots of water and not hold your pee for too long. Also, try staying away from caffeinated beverages or alcohol. You should visit a gynecologist/urologist if the symptoms don’t go away or become worse.

I want to know which birth control should I eat and for how many day
Female | 25
Birth control pills prevent pregnancy. There exist different types. Having a doctor help you choose is smart. Take one pill daily for twenty-one days. Next, take a break for seven days. Following instructions carefully is crucial for effectiveness. Ask a gynecologist if you have queries or worries.

I went on my period twice this month, is that normal?
Female | 21
Your period arriving twice in a month can feel unexpected. However, it sometimes occurs for certain individuals. Potential causes may include hormone imbalances, heightened stress levels, or weight fluctuations. In some cases, underlying conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) could contribute. If you experience abnormal symptoms accompanying this, such as severe discomfort or excessive bleeding, seeking guidance from a gynecologist for proper evaluation becomes crucial.

I had my period on 7 january. On 12th january i had unprotected sex, but my partner didn't cum inside. i took ipill on 13 January. Again I got periods on 19 January. I haven't yet got periods on February. Is there any concern regarding pregnancy? or is it just delayed period?
Female | 28
There could be a delay in menstrual cycle because of many reasons like stress, hormonal problems and some medical conditions. Nevertheless, you had no protection thus pregnancy is always a possibility for you. A pregnancy test and a visit to the gynecologist will be necessary for proper evaluation. They help you in knowing what to do and also give medical advice.

I am 23 year old , am getting vaginal bleed now I don't know it's bleeding or my periods because today morning only I masturbated after a hrs I got bleeding, am fear of it please tell me what happened to me .
Female | 23
Bleeding following masturbation might result from the sensitivity of vaginal tissues, especially if you are a bit intense. Since it’s out of season, you can’t be menstruating. This bleeding will stop by itself without any treatment. If it continues or becomes heavy, you should see a gynecologist.

Female | 25
It's important to keep an eye on irregular periods. They can signal hormonal imbalances, stress changes, or even medical issues. Tracking your cycle helps you notice any shifts in cycle length. But when your cycle is irregular, knowing when you're fertile can be tricky. If you're worried, talk to a gynecologist about it.

2 month 6 day se mera period nhi aya hai kya problem ho sakti h
Female | 25
Missing a period of 2 months and 6 days can be caused by many different reasons. The classic cause is being stressed. Living in constant anxiety or overthinking can make one's menstrual cycle go off track. Among other reasons, hormonal imbalances, excessive exercise, or weight changes can be the causes of the problem. To deal with this, you should try to manage stress by practicing relaxation techniques and eating healthily. If the issues continue, you should consult with a gynecologist.

I'm getting periods after 10 days for three months now and I feel burn before I'm getting my periods. I have taken thyroid test also and it's normal.
Female | 18
You are facing irregular periods. There could be many reasons for this, like stress or hormonal imbalances. If you have a burning sensation before your period, it may indicate inflammation in your reproductive system. My advice is to keep track of the symptoms by maintaining a diary and discuss with a gynecologist They’ll help us discover what’s happening and suggest treatment options.

महिला | 21
Each of the discomforts (delayed menstrual cycle, back pain) can be triggered by common reasons like stress, hormonal changes, or lifestyle factors. The pain of it is for a few months but if it is even more painful or if there are more symptoms, thinking of the gynecologist visit is a must. Aap gaiter dhyan rakhein, achha khana khayein, aur stress manage karein. Without having the time of your last period, your doctor can properly check your health.
