Female | 21
The average menstrual cycle is around 28 to 30 days, but it can vary from person to person. If your last menstruation was on March 31, and if you have a typical 28-30 day cycle, you might expect your next period sometime between April 28 and May 1. However, the cycles can be irregular for various reasons. Consult your gynecologist for proper diagnosis & treatment.

I want to know the probability of my pregnancy
Female | 18
Age, timing, frequency of INTERCOURSE, and fertility all play a role in determining the probability of pregnancy. The likelihood is approximately 20-25% in each menstrual cycle. After 6 months of trying, 60-70% of couples successfully conceive... In case of unsuccessful attempts, consult a DOCTOR to assess any underlying CONDITIONS...

I am 31 and I am 40 days pregnant. I am working in a school as a teacher. Is it safe to continue my job? I need to climb up the stairs in working hours. Is there any harm? Please suggest
Female | 31
At 40 days, the unborn baby is still small but securely growing in the womb. It's important to reduce stress on your body during this stage. Climbing stairs is fine as long as you don't feel dizzy, tired, or experience any pain. Listen to your body and take it easy. If you have any concerns or unusual symptoms, talk to your gynecologist.

I am currently on the Evra birth control patches. I put one on once a week for three weeks and on the 4th week I wear none and get my period. However I am on holidays and forgot to bring my patches. I currently have my week 1 patch on and the time has come to change it, what should i do ?
Female | 18
If you have missed more than 24 hours of the change time that was determined for you, then your protection against pregnancy might not be optimal. It is therefore advisable to use an alternative contraceptive method for the next one week and immediately seek medical attention from your obstetrician-gynecologist. They can also tell you what to do further and ensure that you are still safe from pregnancy.

Is it really necessary to take contraceptives pills if you are not having sex often? Contraceptive pills gives you any advantages?
Female | 26
Birth control pills work by blocking eggs from sperm. Even sans frequent sex, consistent pill taking ensures efficacy. Plus, they regulate periods, control acne, and relieve cramps. Consult a gynecologist to choose the right pill type.

Iam 21 years old me and my boyfriend have sex on jan 16 with condom it's already 9 month's and my periods are coming Monthly Monthly in this 9 months still I can get pregnant
Female | 21
The combination of having sex while using a condom on Jan 16 and then having periods regularly after that indicates that you are not pregnant. Early pregnancy signs can be a missed period, nausea, and breast tenderness. You can also take a pregnancy test yourself for more confidence.

I am 20 years old famale. I want to find out if am pregnant. I am suppose to have my periods two days ago now I haven't started therefore I am very worried because I had dry sex with my boyfriend
Female | 20
I’m glad you’re seeking advice. There could be a few reasons for symptoms like a missed period after dry humping. Stress, hormonal changes, and irregular menstrual cycles are all common culprits. If you want to find out whether or not you are pregnant, take a pregnancy test at home. Taking the test will provide you with a definite answer and ease your mind.

Good day I would like to know why do I spot blood clothing after giving birth and why do I come out blood while being intimate with my partner and coming out white things after being intimate
Female | 26
Often, after birth, a woman may find that she developed blood clots. This symptom is a consequence of the uterus healing process. If you have a lot of bleeding or often there are clots of blood coming out, you can talk to a doctor. As for bleeding during or after intimacy, it is imperative to consult a gynecologist/urologist to get to the reason for the underlying condition and follow the doctor's recommendations.

When should I take a pregnancy test being 11 days late and sexually active?
Female | 16
If 11 days have passed since the date of the expected period but you have done the love deeds, it is a good idea to check whether you are pregnant. Irregular periods and being sexually active are among the most common signs of pregnancy. You can be pregnant if you haven't used a condom while you have sex. Pregnancy tests that you can do at home are an accurate method to find out. The tests reveal pregnancy hormones in your urine.

I did sex 4 day before the periods and .it is not coming .is she pregnant or it will be come.
Female | 22
A missed period could indicate pregnancy, mainly if there was intercourse around your expected cycle. Early symptoms like nausea and tender breasts might occur. However, to confirm, take a pregnancy test. If not pregnant, stress, hormonal imbalance, or other issues may delay menstruation. Consult a gynecologist if your period doesn't arrive shortly.

I had my last period on 3rd April. After that I had unprotected sex on 18th and 19th April. I took emergency pill on 20th April morning. And it was around 36 hours. From 27th April I am bleeding lightly. Sometimes I saw only drop of blood sometimes saw light flow. And I sometimes I am experiencing some cramps and sometimes not. And I had one abortion history on last November. Now am I pregnant again? What is it? And what should I do now?
Female | 24
You might be experiencing implantation bleeding, which can occur in early pregnancy. However, since you have a history of abortion and are experiencing irregular bleeding and cramps, it's important to visit a gynecologist. The gynecologist can provide a proper examination and guide you on the next steps.

I am 17 years old. I haven't got my period since a week, usually it arrives around and mostly on 28th of every month but it's been quite a time since I haven't got it. So what should I do?
Female | 17
Don't worry if your periods aren't all that regular at this age. Stress, gaining or losing a lot of weight, or hormonal shifts can throw things off. Try keeping tabs on how you feel each day until your next few cycles happen. In case they don't start within a month or two, it might be good to talk about it with a gynecologist.

I used deprovera last year once on December till now am not getting pregnant and am not on any family planning
Female | 23
Stopping Depo-provera can affect fertility, causing a delay in the return of regular menstrual cycles. If you're concerned about fertility, consult a gynecologist or reproductive specialist, to assess your situation and provide guidance.

Hi! My name is Deepti n I m 41. I m missing Periods from 10 days but I have a lot of Period cramps. My at home pregnancy tests are negative. My cycle is 3 weeks. Plz help thx.
Female | 41
Skipping periods could be due to a variety of reasons. Having cramps during periods while still getting negative pregnancy test findings may suggest other things involved, like shifting hormone levels, anxiety, or perhaps even certain health issues. If this keeps happening, it would be wise to get advice from a gynecologist.

Female | 23
Periods ke dauran aam taur par kuch symptoms hote hain, jaise dard, mood swings, aur thakan. Yeh hormonal changes ki wajah se hote hain. Agar aapko zyada takleef ho rahi hai, toh kuch ghar ke ilaj, jaise garam paani se sekna ya over-the-counter pain relievers le sakte hain. Healthy khana aur hydration bhi madadgar hote hain. Agar aapko lagta hai ki symptoms zyada intense hain ya aapki cycle irregular hai, toh ek gynecologist se milna zaroori hai. Wo aapko proper guidance denge aur agar koi specific issue hai toh uska samadhan bhi bata sakte hain.

Period It's been a long time I didn't get my periods
Female | 27
It’s important to understand that missing menstrual cycles can stem from various factors, including hormonal imbalances, stress, significant weight changes, or underlying health conditions. Symptoms might include mood fluctuations, fatigue, or changes in appetite. To address this, consider maintaining a balanced diet, managing stress through relaxation techniques, and ensuring adequate sleep. Regular exercise can also be beneficial. However, if the delay continues or you experience concerning symptoms, I encourage you to consult a gynecologist for personalized care. They can offer appropriate testing and support to help understand your situation better.

Is it normal to bleed 8 days after taking the plan b
Male | 19
This is a common side effect of Plan B; nonetheless, there are some cases when it might also cause bleeding. Sometimes, the pill may alter your menstrual cycle and then you'll get the annoying bleeding. But, if you have heavy bleeding, severe pain, or feel dizzy, you must consult the doctor about this. Make it a habit to drink plenty of water and take proper amounts of rest.

Hi, good day Last month I visited my aunt, used the toilet at her place, the toilet was awful Two days later I started feeling this light itch in my vagina, labia majora It continued the itch became worse and I even noticed a discharge I went to the pharmacy and bought fluconazole After taking the dose the discharge stopped and the itching reduced a great deal But then I exhausted the tablet I think I took it for five days I felt the infection was gone though I still had a bit of an itch... Afterwards my period came and during the course of my period I experienced no itch but after I was done with my period the itch returned, though not as it was before I started taking fluconazole, just that I get the itch from time to time I've not had sexual intercourse before (penis in vagina).
Female | 18
You might have yourself a yeast infection. Yeast infections can result in itching and unusual discharge. These occur when there is an imbalance between good and bad bacteria in the vagina. This can be caused by taking certain drugs or being in a wet place such as using a dirty toilet. Buy some anti-fungal creams or tablets from your local pharmacy. Another thing you could do is wear cotton underwear more often because they’re breathable fabric and practice good hygiene so that this doesn’t happen again.

My period is one day late and I'm worried
Female | 17
Symptoms that usually come with periods that are late might be anxiety, breast tenderness, or even mood changes. Taking a pregnancy test is a good idea if you have sex regularly so that you eliminate that option right away. In case this happens or if you notice any uncommon signs, it is still best to see a gynecologist.
