When Should I Begin Taking 21 Days Contraceptive Pills Based on a 3-Day Period Cycle?

My period lasts for three days...which day of my cycle should I start taking the 21 days contraceptive pills?

Answered on 23rd May '24

I would counsel you to start using the 21-day oral contraceptive pills on day one of your menstrual cycle. This will ensure effectiveness and avoid unwanted pregnancies. In case you are worried about anything else, seek the opinion of a gynecologist who will give more specific help.

I had sex during periods and my periods stops after only 2 daya is it normal or not ..??

Female | 18

When sexual activity occurs during menstruation, it can potentially disrupt the normal flow andcause the bleeding to taper off earlier than usual. This is generally considered normal and should not be a cause for significant concern. If you're concerned then please do a test to confirm.

cervical polyps recurrence is normal or strange ?

Female | 36

Cervical polyps usually come back. Sometimes, one or more of the symptoms you experience are abnormal bleeding, pain, or spotting. The cause of this is not known with certainty, but it is most likely due to the changing hormone levels in the body, or prolonged infection that has not been cured. The polyp is often removed because it is usually problem-free. The doctor should closely monitor your health to know precisely everything is normal.

I am a 24 year old female. I was on depo for 2 years. Last shot expired in April. I had unprotected sex in August, less than a week after my period. Took a morning after pill next morning. One week later i had my period again which lasted 3 days with lots of cramping. Three days after i started feeling nauseated and having an upset stomach. Could i be pregnant

Female | 24

Based on what you've told me, the chances of you being pregnant are slim. The emergency contraceptive pill is effective if taken shortly after unprotected sex. Women can experience nausea and abdominal discomfort as side effects of the pill, which do not necessarily imply that they are pregnant.

I am 7 days late on my periods

Female | 22

It could be a sign of pregnancy or could be other health factors like stress, weight fluctuations or hormone imbalances. Talk to your gynecologist to identify the root of the problem and get the best treatment.

Mam I got physical on October 9th Did beta hcg on October 23 - hcg 0.19 Repeated on November 3rd - beta hcg 1.25 Took deviry and had bleeding on 7 th day after 5 day course Started bleeding on November 5 Bleeding is not as heavy as period Any chance of pregnancy maam?

Female | 21

From the beta hcg values, it appears that you are not currently pregnant. Irregular periods are often symptoms of other medical conditions. You should consult a gynecologist in order to review and diagnose. They can recommend you proper medical advice and treatment regarding your condition.

if i got a tetanus vaccine two months back and i got a metal cut now from shaving razors should i get a vaccine, to be more precise, I got the cut on my right hand's thumb

Male | 14

You should be okay if your te­tanus shot was recent. The te­tanus bacteria enters through cuts like­ shaving nicks. Be alert for muscle stiffne­ss or trouble swallowing. Those could signal tetanus, so se­e a doctor immediately. But if you don't have­ issues, keep the­ wound clean and watch for infection signs. There­'s no need to panic with a current te­tanus vaccination.

Okay I had unprotected sex yesterday took lydia emergency contraceptive pills today in the morning around 11am and had another unprotected sex just now 1:46pm do I need to take another contraceptive emergency pills

Female | 19

You should be good since the morning-after pill blocks an egg from ovulating for a while. Unprotected sex should be avoided in the future.

I am a 25 year old female who is currently 6 weeks pregnant. I have had 2 blighted ovums in 3 years apart. The scan has shown even this pregnancy is a blighted ovum. Is there a possibility of me having a normal pregnancy as I have had 2 blighted ovums already with 2 different partners. Please assist.

Female | 24

Blighted ovum, which is also called the synonym "anembryonic pregnancy," is a situation where a fertilized egg is implanted in the uterus, but the embryo does not develop. I understand your worries about having two blighted ovums one after the other were scary. The most important thing is to consult your doctor, who knows the potential causes and comes up with the possible solutions that allow you to have a healthy pregnancy in the future. You could have further examinations which are done to help decide if there is an underlying factor that is causing this to happen multiple times.
