So i had the nexaplon implant in my arm inserted on the 3may and has sex that day now I missed my period with 3 days that was due on the 20th may so I just want to know if I could be pregnant

Female | 30

If you’ve recently had the Nexplanon implant inserted, your body may just be getting used to this new method of birth control. Not getting your period or having irregular periods are common signs when starting with it. But take into account the possibility of getting pregnant even if you’re on any other birth control method in case you’ve had sexual intercourse. There are various signs of pregnancy, some may include missed periods, nausea or feeling sick, being tired all the time, or having sore breasts. To clear your doubts or worries you can do a test, take one. On the other hand, it is important to always talk to your gynecologists.

Female | 22

Ipill can sometimes affect your menstrual cycle and cause a delay in your period. Additionally, stress, hormonal changes, or other factors can also contribute to irregular menstrual cycles. After completing the course of Deviry, you may experience withdrawal bleeding, which is similar to a period.It can take a few days to a week after finishing the medication for this bleeding to occur.

I am 18+ year old female my period, date, last April 28 may month miss My period pregnancy test negative

Female | 18

You may be experiencing a missed period, which can occur due to many factors. Hormonal changes are part of the puberty process and will eventually include your menstrual cycle. Additionally, stress, changes in weight, dietary factors, and certain antibiotics can also cause a missed period. Since your pregnancy test is negative, it is most likely not related to pregnancy. It might be a good idea to talk to a gynecologist for further advice if this issue continues or if you have other concerns.

I have irregular periods sometimes even in 2 months. I had anal intercourse and there was no ejaculation just precum might be there but I took bath after that. I took regestrone 5mg for 3 days one tab per day and got light bleed after 3-4 days. Am i pregnant?

Female | 20

Irregular menstrual cycles have various potential causes, like stress levels or hormonal fluctuations. Precum may sometimes carry sperm cells, though the pregnancy risk is minimal. Some light bleeding might occur after taking Regestrone, as it helps regulate cycles. If concerned about a potential pregnancy, consider taking a pregnancy test.

I am 30 year old female i have a problem of pee. Whenever after pee there is itching and pain in my vagina and urge to pee.

Female | 30

You may be dealing with a urinary tract infection (UTI). A UTI can cause pain, itching, and frequent urges to urinate. These infections are usually brought on by bacteria entering the urinary system. The best thing to do is drink lots of water and not hold your pee for too long. Also, try staying away from caffeinated beverages or alcohol. You should visit a gynecologist/urologist if the symptoms don’t go away or become worse.

Birth control pills prevent pregnancy. There exist different types. Having a doctor help you choose is smart. Take one pill daily for twenty-one days. Next, take a break for seven days. Following instructions carefully is crucial for effectiveness. Ask a gynecologist if you have queries or worries.

I went on my period twice this month, is that normal?

Female | 21

Your period arriving twice in a month can feel unexpected. However, it sometimes occurs for certain individuals. Potential causes may include hormone imbalances, heightened stress levels, or weight fluctuations. In some cases, underlying conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) could contribute. If you experience abnormal symptoms accompanying this, such as severe discomfort or excessive bleeding, seeking guidance from a gynecologist for proper evaluation becomes crucial.

Female | 28

There could be a delay in menstrual cycle because of many reasons like stress, hormonal problems and some medical conditions. Nevertheless, you had no protection thus pregnancy is always a possibility for you. A pregnancy test and a visit to the gynecologist will be necessary for proper evaluation. They help you in knowing what to do and also give medical advice.

I am 23 year old , am getting vaginal bleed now I don't know it's bleeding or my periods because today morning only I masturbated after a hrs I got bleeding, am fear of it please tell me what happened to me .

Female | 23

Bleeding following masturbation might result from the sensitivity of vaginal tissues, especially if you are a bit intense. Since it’s out of season, you can’t be menstruating. This bleeding will stop by itself without any treatment. If it continues or becomes heavy, you should see a gynecologist.

Female | 25

Missing a period of 2 months and 6 days can be caused by many different reasons. The classic cause is being stressed. Living in constant anxiety or overthinking can make one's menstrual cycle go off track. Among other reasons, hormonal imbalances, excessive exercise, or weight changes can be the causes of the problem. To deal with this, you should try to manage stress by practicing relaxation techniques and eating healthily. If the issues continue, you should consult with a gynecologist.

Female | 18

You are facing irregular periods. There could be many reasons for this, like stress or hormonal imbalances. If you have a burning sensation before your period, it may indicate inflammation in your reproductive system. My advice is to keep track of the symptoms by maintaining a diary and discuss with a gynecologist They’ll help us discover what’s happening and suggest treatment options.

Hi my name is Tony. My girlfriend and I had sex and she took a conception pill. A few days later we had Sex again but this time It was unprotected and I ejaculated. After having sex the next day my girlfriend started bleeding . She’s unsure if it’s from the plan b or it’s her menstruation. How ever does she still have the possible outcome of becoming pregnant from us having sex after she took the plan b even tho she’s been bleeding for about 3 days so far?

Male | 25

Bleeding after taking a contraceptive pill like Plan B is a common side effect. The bleeding could be from the pill itself. This does not necessarily mean that she can’t get pregnant. If she is worried about getting pregnant, it would be best for her to see a gynecologist who can talk about different alternatives with her.

Female | 24

You seem to notice changes in vaginal discharge and bleeding patterns. Sometimes, light blood mixed with white discharge followed by watery blood then heavier flow in the cycle's middle can happen due to hormones shifting. It may also relate to hormone imbalance or infections. Keep an eye on these changes, drink plenty of fluids, and see a gynecologist if symptoms continue or worsen.

Female | 22

It's important to understand that minor changes or breaks in the labia from past masturbation are usually not dangerous, especially if there is no pain or bleeding. The labia can vary greatly in appearance and shape naturally. However, if you are concerned or worried about how this might affect your sexual health, it’s best to consult a gynecologist for a proper examination and advice.

On 4th may, I had taken two tablets of misoprostol, I got a severe pain, bleeding and vomiting. But after an hour , bleeding was in spots and cramps continued. After 8 hours, I had taken other 2 pills , bleeding almost stopped and no sign of cramps. Is the abortion done?

Female | 21

Looks like you went through a medication abortion. Common side effects include terrible pain bleeding and vomiting. You may have completed the operation if the bleeding is stopping and you no longer feel any cramps after taking the second set of pills. It is important to go back to the health facility after your abortion and get everything right.
