Is mifepristone 10mg effective as emergency contraception post-exposure?

Is taking mifepristone 10 mg effective as an emergency contraceptive pill? I took it hours after having unprotected sex.

Answered on 30th July '24

Mifepristone is a medication that is typically not used in the 10 mg dose as an emergency contraceptive pill. It may be less beneficial than other methods such as emergency contraceptive pills containing levonorgestrel. Your preventive action is a good step. However, be aware that this may not be effective in preventing pregnancy. In case you experience any abnormal symptoms or if you suspect you are pregnant, it is recommended to visit a gynecologist.

I had unprotected sex almost immediately after my periods ended. (After 2 days). I took unwanted 72 right after the unprotected sex. Is it safe? It's been 18 days since then

Female | 21

Taking Unwanted 72 after unprotected sex can help in case of pregnancy. It might have to be mentioned that young people should take it within 72 hours. Since the usual menstruation time has passed and in the meantime, you've already got your period, the symptoms you may develop are mostly related to the bleeding. Spotting or changes in the menstrual cycle are the main issues after taking the pill.

Mera misscareg 1 month 2din ho gaya lekin abhi tak period nahi aaya hai kya kare

Female | 25

After a miscarriage, it is normal for your menstrual cycle to take some time to return to its regular pattern. The time it takes for your periods to resume can vary from person to person. 

In most cases, it may take a few weeks to a couple of months for your menstrual cycle to return to normal after a miscarriage. This delay is often due to hormonal changes and the body's natural healing process.

Can I take painkillers (like ibuprofen or acetaminophen?) for period cramps, if I'm on fluoxetine?

Female | 15

Generally ibuprofen and acetaminophen can be used for period cramps. However, if you're taking fluoxetine, an antidepressant, it's important to consult your doctor or pharmacist before using pain relievers to ensure there are no potential interactions or risks. They can provide personalized guidance based on your situation.

how early can pregnancy be detected?

Female | 19

Pregnancy may be­ detected in the­ first two weeks after conce­ption. Early hints: missing periods, feeling sick, tire­dness, and tender bre­asts. A home pregnancy test can find the­ hCG hormone in urine to confirm. Carefully follow te­st directions. Importantly, begin prenatal care­ quickly.

I did an abortion now its like one week but I have too much filings

Female | 32

It's common TO have mixed feelings AFTER an abortion.. You're not alone.. Physical recovery can take a few weeks.. TAKE it easy, avoid sex, and limit exercise.. Expect bleeding AND cramping.. IF it's severe, see a doctor.. Emotionally, it's okay TO feel sadness or relief.. TALK TO a psychiatrist.
