Am I protected after Depo shot and unprotected sex?
I'm on the depo shot and had unprotected intercourse on Saturday and Sunday, am I still protected from pregnancy?
Gynecologist/Obstetrician
Answered on 23rd July '24
The Depo shot prevents pregnancy. It blocks ovulation, so no eggs come out. Also, it thickens cervical mucus, making it harder for sperm to reach an egg. If you had unprotected sex after the shot, you're still protected from pregnancy. But remember, the Depo shot doesn't protect against sexually transmitted infections.

Hello doctor. Me and my partner didn’t had sex. On July 4, gave him oral. His pre cum got onto my lips. Kissed him on his hips with his pre cum. And then he went down on me. Is it possible to get pregnant like that? Or even if he has touched his penis with a little bit of pre cum and fingered me after 1-1.5 hours of doing so? I took emergency contraceptive under 48 hours. And I drank 2 glasses of ginger water one day before taking it and also 5 hours before taking it. And early morning before taking the pill on July 5, I saw some light bleeding in my vagina and thought it was ovulation bleeding because I don’t have such light periods. And I’ve irregular periods. ( I’m not sure if it was my periods ) so there are chances that I took the unwanted 72 pill on the first day or 1-2 days before my periods were due. And after 14-15 hours of taking the pill, I started bleeding heavily (more than spotting and less than periods) . The bleeding was enough to use a pad. Can withdrawal bleeding start this early ? Just after 14-15 hours of taking the pill? Or is it my periods triggering early because I took the pill maybe near my due date or on my due date? On 6th July morning, I drank one more glass of ginger water , and in the evening my body temperature fluctuated between 99.3 at 5pm to 98.7 at 8pm and 97.6 at 11pm . My heartbeat also gets fast sometimes. Is it because of the stress? Or hormonal changes? Today is July 7th, more than 48 hours gone after taking the pill. And in the morning , I was feeling dizzy , tired and weakness. I slept again and woke up at 3pm. I am still feeling tired but that maybe because I slept so much. I’m still bleeding heavily. But it’s lesser than my normal periods. Could this be my periods only? But less heavier? Or is it withdrawal bleeding? Am I pregnancy safe? I’m really worried!

Interestingly, you can get pregnant despite using emergency contraception. The bleeding you experienced is more likely a response to the pill, not pregnancy. The changes in temperature and fast heartbeat might be due to hormonal changes or stress. Dizziness and fatigue are common with emergency contraceptives. Take some time to rest, and keep hydrated, and if you have any more concerns, please visit a gynecologist.

Continuous peeing or some kind of sensation near clitoris and urethra
Female | 27
It can be irritating when you always feel like you want to urinate but don’t, particularly around your private area. This may be an indication of urinary tract infection which can cause frequent urination. Other possible reasons include irritation or inflammation of this region. Drinking plenty of water and seeking advice from a gynecologist would help you get well soon.

My girlfriend got hpv type 16 and her leucorrhoea is brown. We’ve got doctors appointment a month away but we’re worried. Has she got cancer yet ? What stage is it ? She just got the warts and the brown leucorrhoea at the moment
Female | 21
HPV type 16 can cause cervical cancer, but having warts and brown discharge doesn’t mean cancer is present. The brown discharge might be a sign of infection. Your girlfriend needs to see a gynecologist. The doctor can prescribe any necessary medication.

Female | 18
Missed periods happen sometimes. They're not unusual and there could be several reasons. You might have been ill and taking medication. That could affect hormone levels. Or maybe you've been stressed or had weight changes. Certain medical issues may also play a part. If it doesn't come for a few weeks, see a gynecologist.

Hey doc started my periods early this month on date 17 and ended up on 20th then on had unprotected sex on 22nd am I safe
Female | 19
The 17th starting and the 20th ending period is a pretty normal cycle. Having unprotected sex on the 22nd might expose you to the risk of getting pregnant. So, watch for possible symptoms like nausea, fatigue, and breast tenderness. If you're concerned, think about using emergency contraception or taking a pregnancy test.

I missed my period with 5 days it should've started the 14th .my last period was 22 October 23 I ovulated 31 October 23 Had unprotected sex But my tests says negative
Female | 26
If your period is 5 days late and negative pregnancy test, it can mean that there are difficulties with hormone levels or ovulation-related symptoms. I would advise you to seek the opinion of a gynecologist.

I have too small belly in 17 week of pregnancy
Female | 20
Toward the middle of the pregnancy, a smaller belly at 17 weeks might trouble you. If a belly is small, it can be because of the baby’s position, the way your body is holding the baby, or many other reasons. In the majority of cases, it's not a big deal when your health conditions are within normal limits. Continue to eat well and go to all of your pregnancy medical check-ins to ensure that you and your baby are healthy.

Female | 32
You have been encountering certain problems with menstrual cycles then all over an abrupt attack of dizziness happened to you. Menstrual cycles may be disturbed by hormonal imbalances, stress, or underlying health issues. The inner ear diseases for instance cervical vertigo or sudden change in position can bring about vertigo. It is advisable to take a lot of water and avoid sudden movements. You can also seek advice from a gynecologist so that he can examine you more for treatment.

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.

I have get inflammatory and painful lump on 6 day of my mestural cycle under armpit but it can get small bcz i apply ice compression but it can still small hard mass and get painless and not go away
Female | 18
The condition you are having is likely fibroadenoma. This is a benign breast tissue lump that can occur near the armpit too. It is also likely to swell in size and hurt when menstrual bleeding occurs. I strongly urge you to see a breast or gynecology specialist for a thorough investigation and biopsy to exclude any underlying situations.

Hello dr my name is dhruvisha Katariya. I am 20 year old. I had sex with my partner a day ago. We also used protection. Now my period date It has come. But my periods have not come.
Female | 20
It's completely normal for periods to be late sometimes even if you have used protection. Common causes could be stress, a change in routine, or hormonal imbalance. If you are concerned, wait a few more days and then take a home pregnancy test. Remember that irregular periods can happen but it is always good to get checked out just in case.

Irregular periods Delayed periods
Female | 21
Irregular and delayed periods can be caused by various factors, including hormonal imbalances, stress, lifestyle factors, medical conditions, and more. If you're experiencing irregular or delayed periods and it's a recurring issue, some lifestyle changes like maintaining a healthy weight and managing stress can help, as can tracking your cycle. Get a proper diagnosis done by a gynecologist if it's been delayed for too long.

Why do my opening vagina itch with white discharge
Female | 23
You might have a yeast infection. These are a type of infection that can be found in the vagina which begin to get itchy after a while and might emit white discharge. In some women, an imbalance of yeast can lead to an overgrowth where the vagina becomes too acidic. This is what happens when your vagina has too much yeast in it. You can purchase over-the-counter antifungal creams to help respond to yeast infections.

I am breastfeeding and feeling often tired pain in arms legs and nipples are sore because baby is biting
Female | 30
You might face normal breastfeeding troubles. Feeling drained, achy arms and legs, nipples hurting - it happens when your baby bites while feeding. Babies bite during teething. Offer a teething toy first to soothe baby's gums. Try changing your breastfeeding position to reduce nipple pain. Ensure proper latch to avoid discomfort.

One cannot rule out the possibility of being pregnant even when the menstrual cycle has already started and a medical abortion kit has been utilized. Pregnancy disclosure confirmation is achieved by visiting a gynecologist and undergoing the necessary pregnancy test. For any additional leads, it is appropriate to get in touch with gynecologist

Periods miss probelm Last one weak I am married.
Female | 19
Being worried about late periods is normal. Periods can get delayed because of stress, weight changes, or hormonal imbalances. Pregnancy or health conditions may also be reasons. If it has only been one week since your last period and you're sexually active, take a pregnancy test. But if you're not pregnant, try not to worry. Sometimes periods come late. Eat nutritious foods, stay active, and manage your stress levels. However, if you're still concerned after a while, it's a good idea to consult a gynecologist.

I have a bump on my labia and I know it isn’t an STD. It started swelling and appeared after I shaved. It’s tender.
Female | 23
It appears you have developed a razor bump in your labia area. This can occur when hair follicles get irritated after shaving. The result is swelling tenderness and a visible bump forming. To assist, try using warm compresses for soothing relief. Avoid shaving until the bump heals completely. If symptoms persist or worsen, it's advisable to consult a gynecologist.
