Answered by Dr. Swapna Chekuri

Your last period was on 20th September, and you had unprotected sex on 9th October, but you took an emergency contraceptive pill within 2 hours, which is good. The emergency contraceptive pill, like Unwanted 72, works by preventing or delaying ovulation, making it less likely for pregnancy to occur. In most cases, taking it promptly increases its effectiveness. However, no method is 100% foolproof. It’s always a good idea to keep track of your cycle and consider regular contraceptive methods for future protection. If you have any unusual symptoms or miss your next period, it's wise to consult a gynecologist for further guidance and reassurance.

It's understandable to feel anxious after experiencing irregularities in your menstrual cycle, especially following unprotected intercourse. Your negative tests are reassuring, but stress can also impact your periods. Hormonal fluctuations or anxiety may be delaying your cycle. I recommend monitoring your feelings and considering lifestyle factors that could affect your health. If your periods don’t regularize or if you continue to have concerns, please consult a gynecologist for personalized advice and support.

1)I have a question, I got my period on 30th November and in December I didn't get my period yet!! Its January now !! I'm tense !! I'm not married yet and I don't have any sex experience yet either !! Then why missed period!!? 2) can we get pregnant by swallow cum or precum ? Or can we get pregnant by getting fingered by him if his finger has some cum/precum on it ? 3) can we get pregnant if being fingered by him after he wiped off his cum/precum with tissue and then finger?

Female | 25

The missed session could come from many occasions such as stress, hormonal alterations, or some other health conditions. If you have not had any sexual relations, then the risk of being pregnant is unlikely. To your inquiry on bodily fluids, conception is usually a process of direct internal contact, so swallowing or finger contact upon wiping is not considered very high risk. Yet, if you are worried about your menses or the possibility of pregnancy, it is advisable to visit a gynecologist. They would be able to guide and assure you personally.

My last period date is 28 November 2024 there is many days for my next period but iam getting pre-period blood right now. What is the reason?.is it serious?.

Female | 20

Bleeding before your expected cycle happens for a number of reasons, like hormonal fluctuations, stress, or ovulation spotting. Even though it is mostly not serious, it is important to monitor your symptoms. If the bleeding is heavy, this may be a sign of a UTI. Keeping track of your periods and the symptoms you get along them may be another effective way of doing it. If it concerns you may also consult a gynecologist.

Female | 40

It's possible that you may be pregnant, but you shoulld confirm with a doctor. Sometimes a very faint line on a home pregnancy test can indicate early pregnancy, but it's best to have a medical professional confirm the results with a blood test or a more sensitive pregnancy test. Additionally, there can be other reasons why you're experiencing nausea and dizziness, so discuss your symptoms with your doctor.

Emergency contraception like i-pill can sometimes affect your menstrual cycle, making your period a bit late. Stress, hormonal changes, or other factors can also play a role. Give it a few more days, and if your period still hasn't shown up, consider taking a home pregnancy test for peace of mind. If you have any other symptoms or concerns, don't hesitate to reach out or schedule a visit with gynecologist.

Periods may be missed due to several types of scenarios and not solely pregnancy. The dengue that you suffered may also influence the cycle. Stress, sickness, or a change in routine can also result in missed periods. If you have any suspicion of being pregnant, you can take a home pregnancy test to be sure. If you have any more concerns you can also consult a gynecologist.
