Consult a medical specialist near you for a suitable birth control pill considering your allergies. They can recommend alternatives or nonhormonal options like copper IUDs or barrier methods if required.

You might be having genital herpes which can develop painful red bumps in the area of the vagina. You should go to a gynecologist or an STI specialist in order to get the right diagnosis, and treatment.

A sperm can survive for 5 days in a woman's reproductive system and thus in the case of intercourse that might take place during periods, pregnancy is more likely with precum than with no-sperm-exposed intercourse. Unwanted 21 controls pregnancy which is a good thing, but the early occurrence of bleeding is called breakthrough bleeding. It is your body that is adapting to the pill. Be alert for signs such as nausea, ache in the breasts, or the non-appearance of the menstrual period. Take a pregnancy test if your period is late, and if you're feeling unsure, in a couple of weeks to be sure.

The pre­gnancy test and menstruation after taking nore­thindrone indicate you're like­ly not pregnant. Heavy blee­ding occurs frequently with this pill due to hormone­s. Though unlikely, pregnancy remains possible­ if periods persist irregularly. Monitor upcoming cycle­s closely, as flow intensity varies case­-by-case following medication.
