What to do if I need morning-after pill on period?

Patient's Query

I need the morning after pill but I just got my period. What do I do

Gynaecology

Answered by Dr. Himali Patel

If you've already gotten your period, it's unlikely that you're ovulating at that time, which is when pregnancy can occur. In fact, the morning after pill works by preventing or delaying ovulation. So, in this scenario, the chances of pregnancy are typically lower. However, it's always best to consult with a gynecologist to discuss your specific situation and get personalized advice. They can provide guidance on whether taking the pill is still necessary and offer any additional support you might need.

Your health is very important, that's why you have to take care of yourself. Do not worry, your situation is quite common. Stress, hormonal changes, or lifestyle factors can affect your monthly cycle. You are feeling body pain and back pain, which are not the worrying topic. First and foremost, relax and give your body some time to heal. If the period still doesn't come, then contact a doctor so that they can have a check on your health. Their guidance can make you better understand the situation. Your health is very important, so be sure to take care of yourself.

I am 20 years old girl i had sex on may 10th night and i had ipill on may 13th after that some side effects had started like white discharge and stomach bloating and severe pain on stomach and now my stomach pain is normal and i dont know if i get pregnant soon

Female | 20

Taking an emergency contraceptive pill (like the i-pill) within a day or two after intercourse may reduce the chances of pregnancy, but it's not a guarantee. If you're concerned about pregnancy, take a home pregnancy test around the time of your expected period.

I am 7 days late on my periods

Female | 22

It could be a sign of pregnancy or could be other health factors like stress, weight fluctuations or hormone imbalances. Talk to your gynecologist to identify the root of the problem and get the best treatment.

Missed periods for 15 days , took pregnancy test after 7 days of missed period and test result is negative. Spotting of dark brown from 10 days and still continues. Last period date is Sept -26th. Do I need to take pregnancy test again and brown spotting is normal or any condition of health issue ?

Female | 28

Missing periods and a negative pregnancy test can happen due to various reasons, like hormonal imbalances, stress, or changes in weight. The brown spotting you're experiencing could be what we call implantation bleeding or just irregular shedding of the uterine lining. It's actually quite common and not always a sign of something serious. However, if it continues or you have other symptoms like pain or fever, it's best to see a gynecologist for a check-up. You could consider taking another pregnancy test in a week or so, just to be sure.

What is the best antibiotic for oozing pus and water from the incision site after a c-section that will dry the wound and heal quickly?

Female | 27

It's important to note that discharge of fluid from an incision after a cesarean section can be a sign of infection or improper healing. Symptoms like redness, warmth, swelling, or increased pain may accompany this. While no single antibiotic is universally best, a gynecologist will determine the right treatment based on specific circumstances. Maintaining cleanliness and gently covering the area can aid in recovery.

I ever had blood clots after my periods throughout the year but this time I think it's getting worse cause there's is bleeding also .. what is the reason for this condition and what I should I do now ?

Female | 25

Experiencing cramps and blood clots, especially with increased bleeding, can be concerning. Possible reasons might include hormonal imbalances, uterine fibroids, or endometriosis. It's essential to pay attention to these changes, especially if they’re more intense than usual. I recommend keeping track of your symptoms, including the dates and severity. It’s important to consult a gynecologist and discuss your experience in detail. They can provide a proper examination and recommend appropriate treatment options.

experience significant pain in my vagina while pleasuring myself or when my partner enters

Female | 24

It is vital to realize that pain during sexual activity is not the normal one and rather may indicate an underlying medical issue. I suggest that you see a gynecologist or a female urologist to talk about your symptoms and undergo a comprehensive physical exam.

2022 detect ectopic and then remove left tube. My LMP 21/04/2024, missed my period then Preganews test result positive. And visit doctor(26/05/24) Doctor did an USG and said it is very urlay so nothing was seen, only bed formation. After one day Beta HCG test (27/05/24) Value - 23220 mlU/mL After 48H test repeat (29/5/24) HCG Value --32357 Then I saw the doctor, said everything is fine, come in 8 weeks then USGI I am very confused Plz suggest.

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.

My period lasts for three days...which day of my cycle should I start taking the 21 days contraceptive pills?

Female | 24

I would counsel you to start using the 21-day oral contraceptive pills on day one of your menstrual cycle. This will ensure effectiveness and avoid unwanted pregnancies. In case you are worried about anything else, seek the opinion of a gynecologist who will give more specific help.

Hi what makes your vagina opens

Female | 22

The vagina is a muscular canal that can dilate and contract. It opens up during arousal for penetration by a penis, dildo, or fingers. If you have any worries about your vaginal health, visit a gynecologist.

Had unprotected sex for the first time for 10 seconds only..due to hymen brokage blood comes out.. Last period was on 15 march and sex on 23 march. period cycle is about 30 days..Ejaculation was outside.. after 7 days of intercourse a mild cramps in the lower abdominal.. Is any chance of pregnancy??

Female | Shruti

It's understandable to have concerns after your first sexual experience. Since ejaculation occurred outside, the chances of pregnancy are quite low, especially as your period is expected around March 15 and you had intercourse on March 23. The mild cramps and slight bleeding could be due to the hymen breaking or your menstrual cycle approaching. However, if you’re worried about pregnancy or other symptoms persist, it's best to consult a gynecologist for personalized advice and reassurance.

Could I still test pregnant 5 weeks after abortion

Female | 28

If you've undergone an abortion and it has been five weeks since the procedure it is unlikely that a pregnancy test would yield a positive result. After an abortion, the pregnancy hormone gradually decreases in the body, and by five weeks post abortion, the hormone levels should have significantly diminished. But also every individual is different, and the timing may vary.. So you can talk your concerns to your gynecologist

Hello doctor I am Lalita 24 year old we are planning for convince...my last LMP was 28th of April 2024 and on 29th of May I feel light vaginal bleeding so on 30th May I checked through pregnancy kit and it was faint line on kit after that I went to gyno doctor and he said it was positive.. after that doctor advised blood beta hCG test and it was 14 and he prescribed HCG injection progesterone tablet and on 8th May I again check through pregnancy kit and it was no showing any line in T section..so am I pregnant or not ?

Female | 24

It can be confusing when there is light bleeding from the vagina with pregnancy test results that keep changing. Having a negative pregnancy test alongside low beta hCG levels might mean that a miscarriage has occurred quite early in the conception process. Please make sure you see your gynecologist so they can check on this matter further and guide you accordingly.

Female | 36

At 36, having a bit of irregularity can happen due to various reasons. Stress, changes in weight, diet, or exercise can sometimes throw off your cycle. The dark red color may just be slightly older blood that took longer to come out. The pain in your stomach and legs is quite common, but if it's unbearable, we can explore some options to manage it. I suggest keeping track of your symptoms and if this pattern continues, schedule an appointment with gynecologist.

I am 19 year old female...I had unprotected sex on 27 April for the first time and within 45 min I took the unwanted 72 tablet and my periods are 3 days delay so when will my periods come??

Female | 19

Emergency contraception like Plan B can throw your cycle off whack because of all the hormones it contains. It should only be a few days late. And if it doesn’t show up within another week or two, and feel free to take that pregnancy test.

my stomach has stayed bloated for the past 4 days now. i felt flutter like kicks for about 3 seconds last night whilst laying down in bed. it feels full i took a pregnancy test and it came back and said on the stick “not pregnant” but i only tested once. i’m supposed to be due on my period but my periods have always been irregular. some months though have been on time most haven’t. my period did come very very early at the start of july. the last day of my period before that for example, was on 28th june and then came back for 3 days starting on 12th july. i haven’t really had extreme pain or discomfort, only slightly but i never really experience discomfort/pain when i’m supposed to be due on they’re always very minor.

Female | 21

You may be presenting symptoms of bloating and irregular periods. There are many causes for bloating, including, among other things, gas and constipation. To some people, irregular periods can be part of the norm. The fluttering you sensed may be due to muscle contractions. Talk with a gynecologist if the symptoms continue or worsen for more recommendations.

The decision to use a medical termination of pregnancy (MTP) kit should be made in consultation with your doctor. Any medication without proper medical supervision can be risky and may have adverse effects on health.

Thank you for the answer , but I'm still bleeding with blood clot with mild pain , is this normal for 9 weeks pregnant ( iud removed)

Female | 39

I would like you to make an appointment to see a gynecologist as soon as you can. Egg shedding with clots and cramps already at the 9th week of pregnancy, after having the IUD removed, seems not the right thing to happen. It is necessary to do a full range of tests to exclude any of the possible complications.
