I have been on the combination pill for four months. Sometime in my last pack I have missed two pills, I have no idea where. I am supposed to start my first inactive pill on Thursday. I had unprotected sex on Saturday and Sunday. I did take my pills in the week leading up to the unprotected sex. I do also know that I did not miss two consecutive pills. What do I do with the two left over pills? Do I still take the inactive pills for this pack?
Female | 23
If you miss two pills in a single pack, it may lower the effectiveness of the contraceptive in protecting you from becoming pregnant. The risk will obviously be minimal since they were non-consecutive. Take the remaining ones according to the instructions and begin the inactive pills as per your diary. In case you have any strange signs such as abnormal bleeding or spotting, use extra birth control methods and consult your gynecologist for more advice.

i had pinkish discharge like 2 week ago and now i have creamy milky white discharge today. does this mean im pregnant? should i take a test?
Female | 30
Pinkish discharge 2 weeks ago.. now milky white.. No, not necessarily pregnant.. Take a test to confirm.. Discharge changes are common. Consult doctor for concerns. HOWEVER, if the discharge comes with a FOUL ODOR or ITCHINESS, it might be an indication of an INFECTION.. In such cases, it is advisable to see a healthcare practitioner as soon as possible.. ALWAYS prioritize your reproductive health..

Good afternoon I am 29 years of age I am 14 weeks postpartum without breastfeeding because I lost the baby at birth but I want start trying again. But my concern is that I have not started my period yet after I had lochia for 2 and d half weeks. Is it something I should be worried about?
Female | 29
After pregnancy, it's quite normal to have irregular periods if the situation is stressful for you. Your body might require some time to get it reconciled. Stress and hormone levels play a crucial role in the regulation of your menstrual cycle. If you're not starting to have any other symptoms like pain or fever, it's likely just a natural delay. If you feel worried, you can always stay safe by seeking advice from a gynecologist.

Missed my periods. I'm not sure what's the reason but it maybe because I'm sexually active but I did take precautions. My late first day of period was on 5feb and today it is 23 march I'm still not having my period. I take urine pregency test many time and everytime it's negative.
Female | 25
Missing your period can be worrisome, especially if you've been intimate. Anxiety, weight fluctuations, or hormonal imbalances might cause delayed cycles. Negative pregnancy tests suggest it's likely, not pregnancy-related. Consulting a gynecologist is advisable to investigate potential causes.

I want complete clarity on this . I had an intercourse on oct 24 which includes no vaginal penetration no ejaculation. it only includes anal penetration and rubbing around anal region for about 10 sec. there were bleedings on Nov 8th dec 6th Jan 3rd and Feb 2nd .These bleeding seemed to be regular flow and last for 3 to 5 days . also did a urine pregnancy test on Dec 30 with evening urine (might be diluted) showed clear negative. later on Jan 29 went to a clinic and did ultrasound scan and they said no pregnancy. Is there any sort of possibility of pregnancy in this . because i have seen cases on Google where a women had regular periods and delivered a baby unknowingly about her pregnancy until labour. my question is even some cases exist where a scan can't find pregnancy. is that possible at all at time after 13 weeks of intercourse. can I beleive the results for sure or do I need any further tests. Please give clarity on this. I have been thinking a lot from 3 months . I need peace.
Male | 22
Based on the information provided, the likelihood of pregnancy is very low, especially considering regular menstrual bleeding and a negative ultrasound after 13 weeks. Cases where people remain unaware of pregnancy are rare and typically involve irregular cycles or specific medical conditions. Your negative urine test and ultrasound findings support the conclusion that you are not pregnant. However, if concerns persist, consult a gynecologist for additional reassurance and possible further testing.

Female | 25
Missed periods are common. They can stem from several factors like stress, weight fluctuations, and hormone imbalances. If you're young, near menopause, or have conditions such as PCOS, irregular periods may occur. Remain calm and monitor your cycle. However, frequent irregularities or additional symptoms should prompt consulting a gynecologist for guidance.

Period missed. Pregnancy test negative. Watery discharge. Lower stomach pain
Female | 23
You might have pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). This could be the cause of your missed periods, watery discharge, and lower stomach pain. When bacteria move from the vagina into the uterus or other reproductive organs, they can cause PID. A doctor will need to give you antibiotics for the treatment of this condition. To avoid any complications, it’s important that you see a gynecologist about these symptoms right away.

I am 19 years old boy and my girlfriend is 16 years old and we had unprotected sex after her period was just over and i give her ipill within 24 hour and after 30 days i suggest her to check pregnancy kit and result was negative but also she is not having period after 32 days. Is she pregnant or any kind of disease happen to her please suggest me sir ??? I am in big trouble…
Female | 16
It's good that my girlfriend took appropriate measures, taking the iPill and using the test kit to perform a pregnancy test. Just 32 days have passed after the negative test, but the period may be absent due to a couple of reasons, even if we exclude pregnancy. In particular, this can happen due to anxiety, hormonal flow, and diseases like Hypothyroidism or Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. See a gynecologist if she doesn't get her period soon.

Good afternoon doctor,my message might be a lengthy one so sorry about it…..so,I had my last menstruation on the 19th of Jan and ended on 22nd of jan. On the 3rd of this month I went to my fiance place and we started humping each other with clothes on then after that he cummed in my mouth and we continue then I off my trouser and was only in my panties and we comtinue,he's naked then, after that he tried penetrating but I am a virgin and he was unable to so,after that I started getting scared that what if when he tried to penetrate a sperm has slipped in and might lead to pregnancy. I've been having a nervous breakdown since the day and feeling anxious and scared a lot that what if I get pregnant,since that I've been feeling a little nauseated and that also double my fears but doctor,can someone gets pregnant in 4/5 days and the symptoms will be showing or it's my anxiety that causes it,I drank ginger tea like 3 times after getting home.so,can I be pregnant with him cumming inside my mouth and then 10 minutes after he tried penetrating or I shd relax…. I have malaria and I haven't treated myself but I don't know if me feeling nauseated slightly is malaria or pregnancy,the nauseous feeling is so mild that sometimes I think it's just in my head and there's no nauseous feeling. I'm so tired and stressed about it and my anxiety is back feeling so scared and not knowing what to do or expect. And ‘what if’ is what's killing me now that what if a sperm has leaked in tho,he said there's no sperm but precum
Female | 23
The likelihood of pregnancy in your situation is minimal. Pregnancy indicators manifest gradually, not within a mere 4-5 days. The mild nausea could stem from anxiety or even malaria. Seeking medical attention for proper diagnosis and treatment of potential malaria is crucial.

I am 20 year old girl.I had my periods 6 day before now again all of a sudden it started to bleed. I had consumed I pill on the 6 th day of my periods but I didn't not have intercourse.
Female | 20
Unexpected bleeding can be alarming. This sudden blood loss may result from hormonal changes in your body, and taking an emergency pill can disrupt your menstrual cycle. If the bleeding persists or worsens, it’s wise to consult a gynecologist for personalized advice. Monitor the situation, and if the bleeding continues for more than a week or intensifies, see a doctor.

I am a 23 year old female. I have been having my period for 9 days now with sharp pains on my lower tummy and down there, what can be an issue?
Female | 23
The sharp aches in your lower belly could mean endometriosis. This happens when the uterus lining grows outside, causing pain and heavy flow. Seeing a gynecologist is key for diagnosis and treatment.

Was on harmoni f tablet from May and missed a dose on August. Started taking notethisterone tablet from 24 august to 7 September. In between had protected intercourse with no penetration, no ejaculation, with condom on. Got withdrawal bleeding on 12 September to 15 September. Then started taking harmoni f again from 14th September for 21 days and got withdrawal bleeding on 9 October to 13 October. Again took harmoni f tablets from 10 October to 30 October and got withdrawal bleeding from it on 4 November to 8 November. Also took beta blood hcg test on 2nd October after intercourse which came out <0.1 . Was the test taken was accurate? What are the chances of pregnancy? Also having bleeding brownish light bleeding on 18th November.
Female | 22
you should seek gynecologist consultation and advice for treating your condition. Your negative beta HCG test means that you are not pregnant. Your brownish-light bleeding may be a result of hormonal change or side effects due to the administration of the hormone tablets.

Female | 19
If you have missed your periods for three months and pregnancy tests are negative, it's important to follow your doctor's advice and take Deviry 10mg. If your periods still don't come, please visit a gynecologist for further evaluation. They can help identify any underlying issues and provide appropriate treatment.

I had unprotected sex yesterday night and I have PCOS I’m freaking out and I can’t go to a doctor or take a pill I can only take birth control bill what should I do?
Female | 19
Among symptoms of PCOS, you might have an irregular period, a loss of weight, or hormonal swings. When you do not have access to a doctor or the morning-after pill, it would be a wise decision to keep using your regular birth control pills. They can help to regulate your cycle and may prevent pregnancy if you adopt the correct dosage. But in case you have any worries or you get some strange symptoms like not getting periods or feeling very bad, please, consult a gynecologist.

Yeast infections in my pussy
Female | 29
Yeast infections typically present with symptoms like itching, unusual discharge, and irritation. They occur due to an imbalance in the natural flora, often triggered by factors such as antibiotics, hormonal changes, or a weakened immune system. Treatment generally involves antifungal medications, which can be obtained over the counter or prescribed by a healthcare professional. Maintaining good hygiene and wearing breathable underwear may help prevent recurrences. If you continue to experience discomfort or if symptoms worsen, I encourage you to consult a gynecologist for a thorough evaluation and tailored advice.

Please opine how to proceed regarding the following Gyencologist MRI with Gadolinium report: Technique: MRI pelvis with IV contrast. Comparison: No previous similar study. Findings: The uterus is enlarged and retroverted, measuring 9.3 x 9 x 8.3 cm. there are 3 subserosal pedunculated fibroids, the largest arising from the anterior fundal region measuring 5.6 x 6.2 x 7.2 cm, the second lesion seen arising from the left lower uterine/cervix junction measuring 5.5 x 4.5 x 4 cm and the third fibroid seen at the right lower uterine/cervix junction measuring 4.7 x 2.5 x 2.3 cm. There are multiple intramural fibroids, around 6 lesions, the largest seen at the left fundal region measuring 2.7 x 2.7 x 2.7 cm and the second largest lesion seen at the right fundal region measuring 3 x 2.7 x 3.4 cm. These fibroids demonstrate low T2 signal intensity without diffusion restriction. Postcontrast demonstrate hypoenhancement relative to the myometrium. The endometrium measuring 0.8 cm in thickness and junctional zone measuring 0.7 cm in thickness. There is posterior fundal illdefined focal subserosal lesion measuring 4.4 x 2.8 x 2.8 cm with an illdefined margins and intermediate low T2 signal intensity in addition to internal subcentimeter tiny foci of T2 hyperintensities could represent adenomyoma. Both ovaries are unremarkable and containing a few follicles. No ascites or enlarged lymph nodes. The rectosigmoid junction is compressed by the enlarged uterus. Trace pelvic free fluid noted, likely physiologic. Urinary bladder is moderately compressed anteriorly.
Female | 47
Depending on the MRI with Gadolinium result, the patient seems to have a uterus overgrown with numerous fibroids. The fundal anterior area has the biggest fibroid. Intramural fibroids are also present. These fibroids show hypointense T2 signal intensity and hypovascularity on post-contrast images. Please visit a gynecologist for a proper evaluation of your reports
