My periods date was 10 I wanted to delay my periods till 16 so I drink apple cider vinegar 3 times yesterday now today I spotted blood

Female | 19

When you took apple cider vinegar to postpone your period, it may have had an impact on your body. If you notice any blood after that, it could be due to the vinegar interfering with your menstrual cycle. This isn’t very common but it can happen. It would be better not to do this with apple cider vinegar again. Your body will probably return to its normal state before long.

Hello doctor. Me and my partner didn’t had sex but on 4th July 2024, I gave him oral and then kissed him on the lips with his precum on my lips. And then he went down on me. Is there a chance of pregnancy? I took unwanted 72 under 48 hours. My periods due date is near. I saw very light bleeding in my vagina in the morning thinking it’s periods but I don’t get very light periods and my periods are irregular. So I took the pill and after 6 hours of taking the pill , I can still see some light red blood spots on the toilet paper. Is it normal or is it ovulation bleeding? Is it because I took the pill on the day of my period? And will i have withdrawal blood if the sperm didn’t went inside my vagina? I’m feeling very dry vagina with minimum discharge. Should I take a pregnancy test? And why am I facing these blood spots?

Female | 19

The probability of pregnancy from the situation you described was quite low because you took the necessary measures after the unprotected encounter. Although light bleeding might have been caused by the pill's side effects, like irregular bleeding, this is not a sign of pregnancy. This idolizes the truth that hormonal changes can cause such and such. It is common and does not mean you are pregnant. If you're worried, taking a pregnancy test can provide reassurance.

I want to know.. mujhe abortion krana h kaise kya kru maine medicine bhi khayi thi but kuch hua nhi or 3 months ho gye hai

Female | 18

Agar aapne medicines li hain aur koi parinaam nahi hua hai, toh pehla kadam ek gynecologist se sampark karna hai. Wo aapki health check karenge aur sahi samadhan denge. Abortion ke liye kai tarike hote hain, lekin har ek ka apna medical process hota hai. Yeh bahut zaroori hai ki aap safely aur sahi tarike se isko karvayen, isliye professional guidance lena aapki health ke liye behad mahatvapurn hai.

what are the different symptoms of pregnancy and period

Female | 21

Let's discuss pregnancy symptoms and period symptoms. Symptoms of being pregnant may range from feeling sick to the stomach, being very tired, having sore breasts, and missing your monthly menstrual cycle. Cramps, bloating, and mood changes are all signs that a woman is about to get her period. This occurs due to hormonal changes in her body. You can use a hot water bottle or try drinking more fluids if you find it hard to deal with these symptoms.

I had sex after the 6th day of my cycle and then took an I-pill after 72 hr of sex but now I am 7 days late. Am I pregnant??

Female | 24

Getting late­ periods does not always signal pregnancy, so don't worry. The­ emergency contrace­ptive pill can disrupt your menstrual cycle, causing de­lays. Stress, illness, weight fluctuations - the­se factors impact periods too. If still concerne­d, take a pregnancy test at home­ for reassurance.
