Could multiple emergency contraceptive use affect menstrual cycle?

Patient's Query

Hello, I am here on behalf of my girlfriend. Story is: Her periods: (January) 18-20 (February) 18-20 (March) 18-20 Then we were physically intimate on 4th April and she took ipll on 6th April. Later, we were physically intimate again on 11th or 12th April and she took ipll again. Yes, she took ipll twice in one month, with a one-week gap. On 13th April, she experienced spotting, very light bleeding, which might have been withdrawal bleeding due to the ipll. It continued for 2-3 days. Then we waited for her next period, which was supposed to come by 13th May, but it was missed. On 16th May evening, we used a home urine test kit which was negative. On 17th May morning, we used another home urine test kit which was also negative. To be sure, we had an hCG test on 18th May, and it reported a level of 7.84/10, which was also negative. We waited, and on 21st May she had a period that was bright red but light, and it continued until 24-25th May. We did another urine pregnancy test on 26th May which was negative. We want to know your viewpoints on this.

Answered by Dr. Swapna Chekuri

It appears that your girlfriend experienced some changes in her menstrual cycle after taking the emergency contraceptive pill (ECP) twice within a short period. Such pills may lead to irregular bleeding or alterations in the cycle at times. The fact that her period came in May and the negative results of pregnancy tests show that she is not pregnant. If she still has worries about this or if her periods remain irregular, then it would be best for her to seek medical advice from a gynecologist.

Hello, I have been taking birth control pills every day for 3 months. I don't drink at the same time every day, but I always drink at night. I took a 7-day break. And on the first day of this seven-day break, we were together and it emptied into me. What are my chances of getting pregnant? Will I get pregnant? Birth control pills are said to protect for 7 days. Should I stop suspecting in this case?My other two questions are: Should I take the morning after pill? If my period doesn't start in this 7-day break, does it mean I'm pregnant?

Female | 21

Yes there is still a possibility of pregnancy, although the risk may be relatively low. Taking the morning-after pill can be an option to further reduce the risk, but it is best to consult with a gynecologist first.

Contraceptive pills can be taken within 72 hours (3 days) after unprotected sex to help prevent pregnancy. However, pills are not 100% effective, and the sooner they are taken, the more effective they are. Ypu can take a home pregnancy test or talk to a gynec.

Why is my vagina long and brown I’m insecure cause I’m so young and only did it with one guy

Female | 20

Normal changes can make private parts appear different in shape and color. Sometimes, the vagina may seem longer or darker. This is often due to genetics, hormones, or pigmentation. Sexual activity could also cause changes. If it worries you, focus on health over looks. Discuss any concerns with a gynecologist.

I am a 17 year old female and I had been diagnosed with vaginal yeast infection 2 years back. Since then it has never completely gone away. I have taken medications including Itraconozole and antibiotics for possible bacterial vaginosis, on the prescription of my doctor, but nothing seems to work. My vagina is so itchy to the point that I create wounds from itching so much. My vaginal discharge is thick, clumpy and yellowish-white. I'm so helpless. What should I do?

Female | 17

Itching, thick discharge, no relief from medication - these could signal a stubborn yeast infection persisting despite treatment. Avoid scented products down there; they may aggravate irritation. Let's try antifungal creams formulated for yeast infections. If that doesn't help, seeing a gynecologist would be wise for proper evaluation and appropriate treatment.

for a whole week straight, my labia has been itchy. i have also been having white sticky discharge and sometimes it could be a faint yellow. there is no odor and no pain, just itchiness. today, i felt a bump like feeling on my labia and i’m guessing it’s a cyst.

Female | 17

Itching and discharge could mean a yeast infection. A common issue, causing irksome itchiness, thick yellowish gunk, and sometimes bump too. Over-the-counter antifungal creams can provide relief. Keeping clean and dry down there also helps. Drink lots of water, and wear breathable cotton undies.

i am 24 years old and i had unprotected sex i missed my periods more than 10 days i took a pregnancy test its positive

Female | 24

It appears that you could be expecting a baby. Whenever unprotected sex takes place, there is a possibility of getting pregnant. Missing a period along with a positive outcome on a pregnancy test are usual indications. Other signs may include fatigue, tender breasts, and morning sickness. At this point, the best thing for you to do would be to see a gynecologist so that they can confirm this pregnancy and advise accordingly.

I had a histrectomy on April 27th me and my husband just had sexual intercourse now I’m hurting like achy in my lower stomach I’m 28 years old

Female | 28

Experiencing discomfort or pain after sexual intercourse following a hysterectomy is common. It's important to take it slow, use lubrication, and communicate with your partner. Still if the pain is severe or persistent, seek medical attention. Consult your gynecologist or surgeon for personal guidance.

We both had penetration without protection and i finished inside her 10 days ago she immediately took Ipill within 2 hours but after 10 days she’s vomitting getting headaches and I’m not sure if she’s pregnant I want to stop this pregnancy immediately

Female | 19

I get that you’re freaking out, and I want to help. But if a girl has been sick to her stomach and getting headaches like crazy, it doesn’t necessarily mean she’s expecting. what I’m saying is that throwing up can be from stressing out about stuff other than babies. Also, throwing up sometimes happens after taking the pill. if your friend doesn’t start her period in another week or so, get a pregnancy test kit.

I have ovarian cyst of size 6x4 cm plz suggest me medicine

Female | Ragini

An ovarian cyst, like a 6x4 cm one, having been diagnosed can easily lead to lower belly pain, bloating, and menstrual irregularities. Ovarian cysts occur when an egg is not released from an ovary. Medicines can be used for pain management, but a hysterectomy may become necessary to remove the cyst. It is the best to discuss possible solutions with your gynecologist.

Female | 30

From the tests and symptoms you mentioned, you likely have an ectopic pregnancy. A fertilized egg is said to be ectopic when it attaches itself elsewhere in the body, usually in a fallopian tube. If not treated, this could become dangerous. I think it would be best if you could share your worries with a gynecologist once more so they can do more tests and give appropriate care.

I am a 20 year old woman. I'm suffering from acne from past few years, but now that've researched about it I realized that I have symptoms of PCOS. I do have hair growth on my face, stomach, back, etc. I get irregular periods by a week or 2. My bmi is normal so that is not considered. I struggle alot with it. I compare myself to women with clear and hairless bodies. I need a solution.

Other | 20

PCOS brings hormonal issues that affect the ovaries. It causes irregular periods and undesirable hair growth like acne or extra body hair. A doctor may recommend changes to lifestyle, take medicines, or suggest treatments to control symptoms. See a gynecologist for proper diagnosis and management. They can best assess whether you have PCOS based on your particular symptoms.
