Will taking levonorgestrel prior to ovulation be effective?

Is levenogestrel effective if we take it 3 days before expected ovulation day

1 Answer

Answered on 7th Jan '25

Levonorgestrel, a taken-in time, is a very effective controlling unplanned intercourse, which is the most effective if it is taken after unprotected intercourse but before ovulation. Taking it three days prior may reduce the likelihood of preventing pregnancy, as ovulation could still occur. It's made to stop ovulation and fertilization. However, the time you use it is very important. In case you're thinking about pregnancy problems that might come, look into the possibilities such as emergency contraception. It's also wise to discuss your options with your physician to receive personalized advice.

36weeks pregnant doctor advised that fpp test ultrasound.. what's the meaning of fpp USG?

Female | 27

FPP ultrasound, short for 'fetal biophysical profile ultrasound,' is a special test ordered by your doctor to check your baby's health at 36 weeks. This test evaluates your baby's movements, muscle tone, breathing, and overall well-being to ensure everything is normal. It's a routine test to confirm that the fetus is healthy and won't need any intervention.

Had sex on 11 day after period, I pill taken after 23 hours, 11 days to go their is no periods

Female | 20

It’s fine if your period is late after taking Plan B because it messes with your cycle. Some symptoms like spotting, feeling sick, or changes in the timing of your menstrual cycle are pretty normal too. Remember that stress may also cause a delay in your period so try not to worry too much about it. Everything should return to normal soon enough.  If not though, then maybe think about getting a pregnancy test.

I also took a test on Thursday and it said negative.. is it possible that’s a false negative

Female | 27

A brown spotting might be a sign of implantation bleeding, but it is hard to definitively identify without a medical examination. Please talk to your gynecologist

I engaged in sex for last time , my periods was late for two days, I don't have any pregnancy related symptoms.i don't know iam pregnant or not

Female | 20

It's common to worry if your period is late after sex. Pregnancy symptoms like tiredness, breast tenderness, or nausea can occur, but you're feeling something different, right? Don't panic! Stress or changes in your routine are often the main reasons for a delayed period. Wait a bit longer, and if your period doesn't come, consider taking a pregnancy test.

I am a 25 years old lady I have a problem on my private parts it itchy radishes with rashes and am 5 weeks pregnant and also my partner have the same rashes I want to the clinic and they gave me fungi stop tube and 500 pills but it's still itchy

Female | 25

This is common, especially in warm and moist areas. Rashes and itchiness are common symptoms. The cream and pills you were given are usually effective but sometimes it may take time. Ensure both of you use the medicine as prescribed. Keep the area clean and dry, avoid wearing tight clothes, and try not to scratch. If the itchiness persists, go back to the clinic.

I had done an unprotected sex on 20th march and my period date is 24th march but I did not get my period and today is 30th March. Plz help me what to do?

Female | 19

Worrying when pe­riods are late after unprote­cted sex is normal. Stress can disrupt me­nstrual cycles, yes. But pregnancy or hormonal shifts might also cause­ delays. Anxiousness or tension indicate­ stress. Taking an at-home pregnancy te­st provides certainty. Managing stress is ke­y too - exercise, confiding in frie­nds. Periods will return when the­ root issue resolves.

I am 24 year old female I want a ask that from last few days I have been suffering from pain and burnt in my private part few days befor while I was washing my private part I think little of soap has gone in it so it the pain due to that reason? Will it causes any problem in it ? What should I do which medicine should i use ? Please tell me

Female | 24

Yes the pain and burning sensation is due to irritation from the soap. Soap can sometimes cause irritation and disrupt the natural balance of the sensitive skin in that area. If this happens just rinse the area thoroughly with clean water and avoid using any harsh soaps, fragrances, or other irritants in that area.
