Should I Take Emergency Contraceptive After Missed Desogestrel?
I’m 28yrs old female, breastfeeding mom with no period since after birth, I’ve been using desogestrel 6weeks after birth, 3days ago I missed my dosage and had an unprotected sex 8hrs ago. Should I just continue with the desogestrel or get an emergency contraceptive pills
Gynecologist/Obstetrician
Answered on 7th June '24
It is important to note that skipping one desogestrel pill makes becoming pregnant more likely. As you had sex without using any protection not so long ago, I would advise taking the morning-after pills to avoid getting pregnant. Emergency contraception can either delay or stop ovulation from happening. Keep in mind these tablets work best when taken immediately after having unprotected intercourse. If you’re worried about anything or if anything unusual happens to your body after taking the pill please see a gynecologist as soon as possible.

Is it possible to get pregnant after taking unwanted 72 within 10 mins of sex? I had my periods on 17th Jan and sex on 24th Jan I took the pill within 10min to be on safe side. On 1st of fed I had my withdrawal bleeding for 5days . But its 1st March now I did not have my normal periods yet? I even took prega news test on 20th Jan it was negative please help me.

It's unlikely you got pregnant after taking Unwanted 72 quickly. Your period is delayed because the emergency pill can affect your cycle. Also, stress and hormone changes can delay periods. You should wait a bit longer for your period to come back normally. If you're still worried, see a gynecologist.

Female | 17
You might be feeling worried about the faint lines on your pregnancy test and the bleeding you're experiencing. A faint line can sometimes appear due to factors like testing at the wrong time or a faulty test. Additionally, bleeding that resembles your regular period might suggest you're not pregnant. If you're still unsure, it's best to wait a few days and take another test to see if anything changes.

My period has not come for almost two months now.
Female | 23
Your period skipping two months is worrisome. Hormonal shifts, perhaps due to stress, weight fluctuation, or medical issues, frequently cause this. Irregular cycles happen routinely and aren't necessarily abnormal. Still, consulting a gynecologist can eliminate serious causes and guide managing irregularity.

About late periods for two months
Female | 24
A delayed period for two months may be the first sign of pregnancy but other factors such as stress, weight changes and or hormonal imbalance may also have a bearing. You should go and visit a gynecologist for an objective assessment and interpretation.

In my previous periods date is April 25th .I have doing unprotected sex in May 19th .some issue? Any chance for pregnancy?
Female | 25
I understand that you are concerned that you could be pregnant after unprotected sex on May 19 following your period on April 25. Let me tell you this: yes, you can get pregnant as the sperm can stay alive in a woman’s body for several days. Take a pregnancy test if you miss your period, have nausea, or feel tenderness in your breasts.

Last week Friday, I had sex he came inside me but I used pills like 3 hours later, my fear is that I am taking injections for toilet infections, I don't know if the pills will work and my period is March 8 , when we had sex, I wasn't ovulating though, I was 3 days to ovulation like my fertile window, now my fear is if the pill will work because I am still taking the injections. I started taking the injections the same day I took the pill like a 2 hours interval. My question is will the Postinor 2 work??
Female | 25
I urge you to consult a gynecologist on this matter. It is advisable to take emergency contraception no later than three hours from the time of unprotected sex. On the other hand, injections for toilet infections reduce the working of the emergency contraceptive pill.

Emergency pills can alter menstrual cycle.. Common side effect. Some women may not get their period on time. Wait for at least a week or two. Take a pregnancy test to confirm. Consult with a medical professional if concerned.

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?
Female | 21
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.

I have been on the combined pill for 8 years now. I stopped taking it about a month ago and still haven’t got a period. Should i be worried?
Female | 23
Not having your period yet is okay because your body needs time to readjust. The combined pill manages your cycle, so stopping it disrupts that routine. Your period will resume after a few weeks. Stress, weight fluctuations, or hormone imbalances may delay it. Don't worry if it takes a bit longer. However, see a gynecologist if the absence of your period lasts over a couple of months to ensure everything is fine.

What should I do about persistent vaginal infection symptoms, including itching and curd-like discharge, despite being on medication for over two weeks?
Female | 32
- Avoid using perfumed soaps, gels, wipes or other feminine products.
- Don’t douche or wash inside your vagina.
- Avoid wearing tight underwear, leotards, bathing suits or sweaty clothes for long periods of time.
- Wipe your vagina from front to back. This prevents bacteria from your rectum from getting into your vagina.

Kya PCOD hone par phli baar sex karne ke baad hi ham pregnant ho sakte hai
Female | 23
No, as with the first sexual intercourse does not raise the possibility of pregnancy in women with PCOD. PCOD impairs a woman’s fertility because of hormonal fluctuations that cause irregular cycles and thus disrupt ovulation. It is advisable to get in touch with a gynecologist who is a practitioner in the area of PCOD management.

My partner expected periods is jan22 till now for her came can we take the pregancy test at home
Female | 22
A missed period can indicate pregnancy. If your partner expected her period on January 22 yet it did not arrive, take a home pregnancy test. Signs of pregnancy include irregular periods, feeling queasy, exhaustion, and sensitive breasts. Should the test be positive, consult a gynecologist. They will verify the results and advise on further action.

Im 33 year old lady had my period the 4-6 august on Friday the 16 august had a brown with little blood discharge then i took a pregnancy test and it was positive on Saturday started spot bleeding on Sunday with cramps then its start with pinch pain on the right side of my stomach
Female | 33
The brown discharge and a positive pregnancy test can mean that you are pregnant in the early stages. The spot bleeding and cramps could be due to either implantation or normal hormonal fluctuations. Additionally, it may be a cyst or muscle strain that you feel a pinch of pain on the right side. It's best to keep well hydrated, take enough rest, and watch the development of your symptoms. If the pain becomes unbearable or does not subside, consult a gynecologist for a proper diagnosis.

A lot of pain plus water coming out with blood during the period is abnormal. There’s a possibility of a hormone imbalance or an infection which is the reason. You must discuss with a gynecologist to find out the reason for your symptoms and to get the appropriate treatment.

Female | 19
You may have a common ovary cyst that is the cause of the pain. Such symptoms might be pelvic pain, abdominal swelling, and irregular intervals. The oocytes do not undergo normal maturation when the ovaries do not release them properly during the menstrual cycle. To ease your pain, consult a gynecologist for proper treatment.

I had sex on 19th March in that only kissing and fingering happened no intercourse and i got my periods next month on April 12th on around my actual date and it was proper pad filling periods and last almost 4to5days but this month my periods is getting delayed may 12 was my date but didn't get the period till now so any chance of pregnancy
Female | 23
It is unlikely that you are pregnant because there was no sex. The truth is that your period can be delayed (sometimes by a couple of days) if you are under stress, engage in a diet program, or get your hormonal balance disrupted. Stay calm, pay close attention to the body signals, and see if there's any change over time. If the condition still doesn't improve consult a gynecologist for your peace of mind.

Female | 20
If the signs are right, you might have a vaginal infection, a common and curable issue. Itching, unusual discharge, and discomfort while urinating or having sex might also occur. Bacteria, yeast, and other germs can cause these infections. To start feeling better, it’s important to consult a gynecologist/urologist who will diagnose the problem correctly and suggest appropriate treatment.
