Will ipill be effective 8 days post unprotected sex?
Will ipill work after 8 days of unprotected sex?

Answered on 27th May '24
The I-pill sounds like it could be used as emergency contraception, but you really should take a pregnancy test. This is the deal: It works best within 72 hours and becomes less effective over time. Eight days later, its capability is minimal. Preventive medicine is always better than a cure - if you are anxious about pregnancy results then consult with a gynecologist for more help!

I had intercore with my partner after 2 day of period, and I had pullout before the discharge. And in within 4 hr I taked unwanted 72 , but after 7 day intercore i got low flow bleeding for 5 day, Is it possible of preganacy? Period start 22 april Period end 26 april Intercore 28 april Bledding 4 may to 9 may
Female | 25
When you took the unwanted 72 and had low-flow bleeding, it means you are getting affected by the emergency contraceptive pill. Remember this type of blood flow is not like the regular menstrual period, but it’s brought about by the hormones contained in the pill. Chances of not being pregnant are high hence do not worry or have any unusual feelings but in case of the same do not hesitate to seek advice from a gynecologist.

Yesterday I had unprotected sex and my periods are 7 days to come my period date is 24 march so may I get pregnant I don't want this pregnant so I ate unripe papaya and ajwain water as well
Female | Swetha
Unprotected intercourse does pose a risk for pregnancy, particularly around your ovulation cycle. Eating unripe papaya and drinking ajwain water are traditional remedies, but their effectiveness in preventing pregnancy isn't scientifically supported. If you're concerned about potential pregnancy, consider taking an emergency contraceptive pill within 72 hours, which is more reliable. Monitoring your menstrual symptoms, such as changes in mood or breast tenderness, can also provide insights. It's advisable to consult a gynecologist for personalized advice and to explore your options.

Could I still test pregnant 5 weeks after abortion
Female | 28
If you've undergone an abortion and it has been five weeks since the procedure it is unlikely that a pregnancy test would yield a positive result. After an abortion, the pregnancy hormone gradually decreases in the body, and by five weeks post abortion, the hormone levels should have significantly diminished. But also every individual is different, and the timing may vary.. So you can talk your concerns to your gynecologist

I missed my periods or it got delayed don’t know I have gone through PMS and ovulation as well which went well also no pregnancy symptoms not even pcos or pcod what should I do
Female | 20
There can be many reasons for the delay or absence of periods. Stresses, ups, and downs of weight, excessive exercise, or hormonal imbalance could be some of the common reasons besides pregnancy and PCOS/PCOD. The fact that periods are sometimes irregular is also true. If you are not worried, give it a little longer. If the matter continues, think of contacting a gynecologist.

Hello, my wife's gyno has suggested stretching her vagina in prep for labour and will over see it by appointments every 2 weeks. Is this normal?
Female | 34
It is normal for some women who are about to give birth and need vaginal stretching first. This is what is known as a perineal massage. It has the advantages of preventing tears during delivery and increasing elasticity. Symptoms like tightness can make labor harder. The stretching is the work of a gynecologist who ensures it is done safely. A technique like this can lead to a more seamless experience of childbirth; thus, it is a common practice.

My periods is not stoped after 9days
Female | 15
Noticing your period lasts more than 9 days? That's longer than usual. Hormonal issues, stress, medical conditions, or birth control could cause it. Keep track of flow and other symptoms like bad pain or weakness. It may be wise to see a gynecologist to discuss concerns and find solutions.

I had my periods on 2 Feb and took ipill on 17 Feb after protected sex just to be safe. On 29 February I noticed some bleeding which was mostly blood clots with some cramps and on 1 March I have no cramps and no bleeding till 10 am . I have no other symptoms. What does it means ? Please help ?
Female | 21
A person may face unusual bleeding post taking the emergency contraceptive (i-pill). The pill causes hormonal changes, leading to bleeding and cramps. However, it's typically harmless and temporary. Emergency contraception works best when taken right after unprotected sex. If bleeding persists or concerns arise, consulting a gynecologist is advisable.

I am 22 years old and my period is delayed three days and white discharge ki coming I tried all the home remedies to get periods instantly but nothing worked so how can I get period now
Female | 22
It's natural for women to have a monthly period but sometimes the period may not appear as per the due date. You might have a late period with an increase in white discharge due to stress, changes in routine, or hormonal imbalance, or you may be pregnant. Sometimes a period may be postponed for a week but consult a gynecologist they can provide appropriate advice and treatment if needed.

Female | 21
Blood discharge before periods is a typical thing that you might notice. It is the body's way of preparing for menstruation. Hence the blood clotting can sometimes be a sign of an impending period. This is normal in some cases and there might be no problem. You should always be monitoring your cycles and in the case of other signs or symptoms, it may be a good idea to make an appointment with a gynecologist.

I took crimson for one month and i got minimal bleeding after 4 days then 15 th day of my period again i got periods like bleeding minimal bleeding this month i got periods yesterday iam confused why this happening iam leaving in uk iam following diet and i losses weight
Female | 26
It is perfectly natural to be nervous about the new menstrual cycle after changing the drug (such as Crimson). Certain people may have variations in menstruation, including more frequent periods or menstrual cycle length changes due to the action of hormones. Weight loss can also cause period irregularity. In order to get to know you better, I would suggest that you keep a log of your symptoms and talk to a gynecologist about them.

Female | 23
Many people worry when their period is late, especially after unprotected sex and taking emergency contraception. Signs like sore breasts, cramps, and a missed period could mean pregnancy. But these can also happen from hormone changes. It's wise to take a pregnancy test now for clarity. If negative, wait one week and test again for accuracy. You can also visit a gynecologist to clear your doubts.

Female | 18
It’s normal to feel worried if your period is late. But many factors can cause this, not just pregnancy. Stress, changes in weight, diet, exercise, hormones, and health conditions can all affect your cycle. Since your pregnancy test was negative, it’s unlikely you’re pregnant. Still, it’s a good idea to see a gynecologist. They can help figure out the cause and give you the right care.
