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

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.

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.

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.

Why is it that I am not getting my periods after having sex yet I took backup emergency pills

Female | 22

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.

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.
