Help with contraception?
I’m assuming you are peri menopausal and having a period if you are concerned about pregnancy and took emergency contraception. Since you are concerned about pregnancy, it is a good idea to wait for your period and then start HRT. Take care and stay safe! READ MORE

If you take Plan B within 24 hours of unprotected sex, it is 95% effective. If you take it between 48 and 72 hours of unprotected sex, the efficacy rate is 61%. If you are more than 48-72 hrs from ovulation, chances are pregnancy are almost none. Take care! READ MORE

Contraception decision?
Use something long acting and you don’t have to take it everyday like a subdermal implant in your arm, has low dose progesterone, good for 3 years and 99% effective. You’ll notice irregular bleeding for first 3-6 months, usually settles down after that and you might have no periods until you have the device in your arm. Look up information on Nexplanon.com Take care and stay safe! READ MORE
Did I take too much ibuprofen?
Since you are taking it briefly (assuming) for 5 days, you can take 600 mg every 6 hours (take with meal or a snack) on the days you have severe pain, then take 600 mg every 8 hours with your 3 meals. It would help to buy ibuprofen, which is enteric coated to prevent gastritis. Advil is one of the brand available over the counter which is enteric coated. Also, you might have endometriosis with such severe pain during periods, birth control pills will help with your pain. See your OB/Gyn and discuss more about this. Take care and stay safe!! READ MORE

Small amount of bleeding is normal after Colposcopy and cervical biopsies. Your bleeding seems to be heavier than expected. Call your doctor’s office and talk to someone to see if you have to go in to get checked. Take care and stay safe!! READ MORE
Why is my period late?
This has nothing to do with the contraceptive pills since you had your periods after stopping the pills. Your body just goes back to its regular hormonal control within a month after you stop the pills. See your OBGyn for help with your periods. Take care and stay safe! READ MORE

Pregnancy!?
Chances of pregnancy after tubal ligation are rare (1-3/10,000) depending on the method of permanent sterilization. That said, risk of ectopic pregnancy is high when pregnancy test is positive. You need to see your gynecologist right away and get an ultrasound and hcg quant levels done. Take care! READ MORE
Chemical pregnancy caused by breastfeeding?
When you are breastfeeding your baby, the hormone that causes you to make milk, prolactin, also stops you from ovulating and having your period. If you are breastfeeding every 2-3 hours, it can be up to a year before your period returns. But some women do ovulate when breastfeeding, that increases your chances of pregnancy. Coming to progesterone, progesterone can be used as contraception (mini pill) during breastfeeding, but it is effective only if it is taken every 24 hours religiously. It is not necessary to take high doses of progesterone. Mini pill has “0.35 mg” of progesterone. Plan B used for emergency contraception has 1.5 mg of progesterone. It is really stressful to worry about pregnancy when breastfeeding. I would advise you to try long-term contraception like an IUD or subdermal implant, which have low doses of progesterone to prevent pregnancy. Talk to your OBGyn more about these. Take care and stay safe!! “You are not a body that inhabits this soul, you are a soul that inhabits this body” READ MORE
