Late Period After Taking Combination Pills: Possible Reasons
My menstrual period is late. I also use combination pills for last month. I take a pregnancy test it shows negative . Why my period is late

Gynecologist
Answered on 8th Aug '24
When you start taking combination contraceptive pills, your body may need time to adjust. This temporary phase could delay your period. Factors like stress, illness, or changes in body weight can also affect menstrual timing. If your pregnancy test is negative, it's likely just a temporary irregularity. Keep track of your cycle and consult a gynecologist if the delay continues.

Vaginal itching since last three months moderate
Female | 32
Vaginal itching may be caused by different situations like yeast infections, and bacterial infections, or may be due to irritants like soaps and detergents. Use underwear made of cotton, no scented products, and keep the area clean and dry. If none of these options work, consult a gynecologist to get the correct treatment.

I have pain in lower abdomen since yesterday and also back pain and my periods are not dated yet so is it my missed pregnancy or early pregnancy symptoms and I had one missed pregnancy before. Is. And I had my periods on the 1st of March so how long do I have to wait for a pregnancy test?
Female | 18
It is difficult to diagnose without performing physical examination. On the other hand, the lower abdominal pain and back pain are frequently the early symptoms of pregnancy. As you have had a missed pregnancy once, it is advisable that you make an appointment with your gynecologist for an evaluation. A test can be taken between 1 and 2 weeks after a missed period.

My wife missed her period. LMP was 8 April. She is guessing pregency. Without test she took 4 pills of misopristol to abort it because she is not mentally prepare for it. Symptoms breast swalloing but no vomiting. After taking pills small amount of bleeding occurred then stopped. What should do and how to proceed.
Female | 32
It seems your spouse did take the drug misoprostol to get rid of the babies. Bleeding is the most common side effect of this very drug. Another common thing with women who are in advanced pregnancy is the fact that they have swollen breasts. But then again, without any tests performed, we can't be certain about the pregnancy. You should consult a doctor for advice and treatment. Her health needs to have her do it soon while her life is still not in danger.

Female | 30
It’s understandable to feel concerned when your period is delayed. Pregnancy is a possibility even with contraception methods, including emergency pills. Factors such as hormonal changes, stress, or lifestyle can also influence your cycle. Taking pills without medical advice may disrupt your natural rhythm. I recommend you take a pregnancy test to confirm your status. If you’re still experiencing irregularities, consulting a gynecologist is crucial. They can provide personalized insights and discuss options that align with your family planning goals.

Female | 46
It's understandable to feel concerned about discomfort in your vaginal area. The bumps you're noticing could be caused by various factors, including infections, irritations, or hormonal changes. It's important to keep the area clean and dry. Avoid any scented products that could worsen irritation. However, because symptoms are causing discomfort, I encourage you to schedule an appointment with a gynecologist for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

Am two days late of my period but am not pregnant....what is the possible cause
Female | 33
In some cases, your period could be irregular even if you’re not pregnant. Stress, weight fluctuations, or hormonal imbalances are all possible reasons. Perhaps you have been very stressed recently or experienced changes in your daily life and diet. If your period is still late after a little while, it may be best to see a gynecologist just in case.

Female | 34
After an abortion, it's essential to give your body time to recover, allowing your uterus to heal properly. It's recommended to wait at least one to three months before trying to conceive again to reduce the risk of complications. Prioritizing your health is crucial before planning your next pregnancy.

Postpartum bleeding and spotting can occur after a stillbirth, and you need to understand that every woman's experience can be different. Spotting could be related to the healing process of your reproductive system. Visit your gynec to know what exactly is happening.

My last menstruation came on 10th January. I missed my this month. My urine test came positive. I also had other symptoms like lower back pain and breast tenderness. Pregnancy was not showing in scan. But today all my symptoms are suddenly gone.
Female | 30
A missed period and a positive urine test could indicate pregnancy. However, it's strange that the scan didn't detect anything. Your symptoms align with pregnancy, but their sudden disappearance is puzzling. You must get checked out by a gynecologist ASAP to ensure all is well.

Less bleeding in periods and also periods is only for 2 days
Female | 31
Lighter periods than normal may be due to hormonal changes, stress, or the change in birth control. If you have worries or show any other signs of serious pain cramps, and odd menstruation cycles always visit a gynecologist for examination.

My hands were covered in sperm, then I cleaned my hands only with water 3 times. After that, I cleaned my vagina with still wet hands and water. will it cause pregnancy?
Female | 21
Pregnancy is only possible if sperm enters the vagina through intercourse. The fact that you only used water to clean your hands makes it very unlikely that sperm would transfer to your vagina. But to be on the safe side, you should start using soap for effective handwashing in the future. Besides, if you notice any unusual symptoms like missed periods or unusual discharge, it is always better to speak with a gynecologist.

Female | 20
Pregnancy can happen if you have sex during your ovulation period, which is usually 12-16 days before your next period. If you have been trying for 2 months without success, it is a good idea to consult a gynecologist. They can give you the best advice and help with your situation.
