Taking ginette, condom broke while sex. What are pregnancy chances after taking the pills?
Hi, I received the copper IUD on Monday (about 3.5 days ago). After the day it was inserted, I ve been experiencing heavy bleeding. This is not like menstrual bleeding; I have chunks of endometrial lining and a heavy flow (more than my very heavy periods) for almost 40 hours nonstop. When will this stop? I was very con...
Hello mam, usually the first period after CuT insertion is heavy and this may also occur in following couple of months and will subside by itself eventually. There can be mild pain also but if the pain is severe or bleeding continues to be excessive or fails to stop visit your gynecologist as you might need to get the...

What is the cause to bleed after sex after 3 negative hpt's?
I am married for 1 year.In January I had unwanted and unplanned pregnancy so we got it aborted within 44days only. After that everything was checked and was normal. Doctor suggested me Femilon but I am scared that after this abortion and then using Femilon as oral contraception will I have any issue in conceiving may b...
Hello mam, femilon or rather all oral contraceptives are safe against abortion but at times ovulation is delayed for another 3-6 months even after the drug is stopped. But that is not in all the cases. In my opinion you can opt for it because it is one of the safest and sure method of contraception. All the best.

i had the copper coil fitted 12th march and since having it fitted I ve had a sharp cramping pain in my lower right abdomen since the day it was fitted. I ve had a scan to make sure the coil was fitted properly and the scan showed all was fine. The pain is on and off and I can go days without experience it. What could ...
Hello dear, these small sharp pains are quite common after the insertion of CuT because uterine muscles tend to adapt to new product inside its cavity. They will eventually subside, you can try hot fomentations and mild analgesics. Take care.

The cramps typically last all day with varying degrees of severity. Is this something I ...
Hello mam, progesterone at times causes little nausea and delayed gastric emptying which can cause bloated feeling and uneasiness in abdomen. But it would have subsided by now so if persistent then I would suggest you to get an ultrasound for upper abdomen and meet a surgeon for the same. Take care.

Hi. I ve been on my birth control for over six months. A couple weeks ago I accidentally missed a day or two of pills. I started my period then and have continued taking birth control normally and on time. I ve been having a unusually heavy period with no end in sight for two weeks. I m feeling weak and tired with head...
Hi. Your intake of pill was quite erratic and this has probably caused irregular and heavy bleeding. Consult your dr. She may like to get a scan done before putting you on a higher dose of hormones this time to control bleeding.Other symptoms are due to heavy blood loss and anaemia. Thanks.

Hi. I think you must have been given a combination of estrogen and progesterone and depot shot does not cause heavy bleeding.

Hello m, firstly I would like to know your age to see the correlation if any. If in child bearing age then most common cause is pregnancy and if perimenopausal then probably its time for periods to go.

I assume when you say that you stopped getting the shots a week ago, that you mean that you were due to get your three month shot and didn't get it. If that is the case, then it is not uncommon to have some hormonal symptoms like you describe, as your body starts to get back to normal natural cycles. Although it is p...

Hi,Overdosing up to two pills is done to make up for a missed pill, but taking four pills at a time is not going to help make up the missed doses and the cycle is no longer protected. You may also see a breakthrough bleeding due to excessive hormone levels. Other side effects like rashes, nausea, breast tenderness or a...

Overdose of birth control pill,polycystic ovary syndrome
My partner was prescribed Noriday approx 2 months after the birth of our first child. She had indicated that she no longer desired to take the pill quite a while back. Is there another reason why a doctor would prescribe Noriday tabs so soon after pregnancy?
In my opinion You can use Noriday after having a baby. Start taking the pill from day 21 after childbirth. This protects you as soon as you have taken the first pill. If you start later than this you may not be protected until you have taken the pill for another seven days

bit is unusual to be developing additional bruising after having it in place already for a month. is it possible that the area had some trauma like a punch, or did it get struck with something? if not, I would have your doctor check it out. it may be infected, or you may have some kind of allergy to the implanon. th...

it is very common to have a period after taking plan B, and it takes sometime for things to get back to normal.

Hi,From history it seems that they had sex during safe period so risk of having pregnancy is less likely.Now after 36-40 hours after sex Unwanted 72 is of no use.There is no way to be sure weather sperms are entered or not.Go for pregnancy test after 7-8 days passed of her expected date of period.Ok and take care.

What could spotting and irregular periods while on birth control indicate?
I've had the mirena in for a year and a half now and I don't get periods anymore. Before the mirena I have very bad periods but never breast tenderness. Now all of a sudden my nipples and around them hurt. I can put pressure they are very sore. Is this normal?
