Emergency pills can alter menstrual cycle.. Common side effect. Some women may not get their period on time. Wait for at least a week or two. Take a pregnancy test to confirm. Consult with a medical professional if concerned.

Hi I'm FAVOUR, I missed my period for 2 months and I wasn't pregnant. I went for test and they said I have infection ( staphylococcus erus and candida albican), after which I was given 3 days injections of antibiotics. A week after the injection and treatment, I saw my period that lasted for 5 days but it wasn't flowing as usual. A week after seeing the period, I started seeing brown discharge coming out of my vagina and now it's not longer brown discharge that's coming out, it's blood, a heavy flow of blood is pouring out of my body 24/7, and it's been flowing like this for close to 2 weeks now, please what can I do?

Female | 19

The infection that you had might be the reason that your menstruation has changed and thus uneven bleeding has happened. Infections can sometimes cause heavy bleeding or irregular periods. The brown discharge you saw may have been old blood mingled with the vaginal discharge. Should the heavy bleeding continue, contacting a healthcare provider is vital to get a more thorough evaluation and care.

After having unprotected sex, took i-pill, but after that 5hrs I vomited...do I need to take another i-pill?

Female | 21

Vomiting within a few hours of taking the i-pill can indeed affect its absorption and effectiveness. Well, the medication might not have had enough time to work before you vomited. In this situation, it's advisable to take another i-pill to ensure maximum protection. It's always better to be safe than sorry when it comes to emergency contraception. Just remember, the i-pill is most effective when taken as soon as possible after unprotected sex.

I am a 15 year old female, I have been experiencing extreme nausea, bloating, and headaches for the past 2 weeks. I am a PCOS patient and haven't had my period in about 90 days, could that be the cause?

Female | 15

Our symptoms of extreme nausea, bloating, headaches, and irregular periods could potentially be linked to your PCOS condition. PCOS can cause hormonal imbalances that lead to various symptoms. However, other factors like gastrointestinal issues, infections, or stress could also be contributing.
