Is mifepristone 10mg effective as emergency contraception post-exposure?

Is taking mifepristone 10 mg effective as an emergency contraceptive pill? I took it hours after having unprotected sex.

Answered on 30th July '24

Mifepristone is a medication that is typically not used in the 10 mg dose as an emergency contraceptive pill. It may be less beneficial than other methods such as emergency contraceptive pills containing levonorgestrel. Your preventive action is a good step. However, be aware that this may not be effective in preventing pregnancy. In case you experience any abnormal symptoms or if you suspect you are pregnant, it is recommended to visit a gynecologist.

I had unprotected sex almost immediately after my periods ended. (After 2 days). I took unwanted 72 right after the unprotected sex. Is it safe? It's been 18 days since then

Female | 21

Taking Unwanted 72 after unprotected sex can help in case of pregnancy. It might have to be mentioned that young people should take it within 72 hours. Since the usual menstruation time has passed and in the meantime, you've already got your period, the symptoms you may develop are mostly related to the bleeding. Spotting or changes in the menstrual cycle are the main issues after taking the pill.

Mera misscareg 1 month 2din ho gaya lekin abhi tak period nahi aaya hai kya kare

Female | 25

After a miscarriage, it is normal for your menstrual cycle to take some time to return to its regular pattern. The time it takes for your periods to resume can vary from person to person. 

In most cases, it may take a few weeks to a couple of months for your menstrual cycle to return to normal after a miscarriage. This delay is often due to hormonal changes and the body's natural healing process.

I am 22 years of age experiencing period pains but no periods

Female | 22

This can happen to some people. Usually, it is nothing to worry about. The stresses, hormonal changes, or normal body changes might be the reasons for these pains. You can try light exercise to feel better. Also, you can apply a warm compress to your lower belly or take over-the-counter pain relief medicine like ibuprofen if needed.

Can I take painkillers (like ibuprofen or acetaminophen?) for period cramps, if I'm on fluoxetine?

Female | 15

Generally ibuprofen and acetaminophen can be used for period cramps. However, if you're taking fluoxetine, an antidepressant, it's important to consult your doctor or pharmacist before using pain relievers to ensure there are no potential interactions or risks. They can provide personalized guidance based on your situation.

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.

When is best to have intercourse to conceive with a 26days cycle my last period was September 26 to 28

Female | 23

Your ovulation model shows a 26-day cycle. The period between 26 and 28 of September is the best time for you to conceive around October 10-11. This is when you are most likely ovulating which means an egg is ready to meet sperm. Observing signs like increased vaginal discharge or gentle discomfort in your lower abdomen which is also called ovulation pain will help you in conceiving. Get the cycle record improved to track faulty periods, thus increasing the odds of successful fertilization.
