Avatar f tn Hi guys sorry I am new here, So my wife is a virgin and we had non penetrative sex and some sperm was left on her vagina and we got worried that she could get pregnant then she took emergency contraceptive (levonorgestrel) 48 hours after. Then after 2 days we did non penetrative sex again and we got worried about pregnancy and she took emergency contraception again. This is emergency contraceptive twice in a week.
Avatar m tn An hour later, I took the 72-hour emergency contraceptive levonorgestrel, two tablets of 0.75 mg. Is my girlfriend more likely to get pregnant? Sorry, my English is not very good.
Avatar n tn While I understand that there is always a risk of DVT, depression or stroke when taking contraceptive pills, I was thinking, there are other brand of pills which contains more or less the same hormones ethinylestradiol and levonorgestrel. So should I be concerned? I have been on other brand of pills in the past which contained ethinylestradiol and norethisterone and I was fine with it.
Avatar m tn Each tablet contains 0.75mg Levonorgestrel. and told me not to worry nothing will happen. but i am afraid please tell me if there is any chances of getting pregnant let me precise the whole thing 1- we were enjoying dry humping. (no intercourse and dry humping with full clothes on) he was on top 2- i am a virgin girl, never had sex before. not even this time, it was just dry humping. 3- my last periods were ended on 4th Feb. they were in between 29 jan to 4 feb.
Avatar f tn We were drinking so I was tipsy and so was he so we decided to stupidly have sex without a condom, and I am also not on any form of contraceptive. He thinks he may have pre *** inside of me but it may have been a small amount of ejaculation but he doesn't know. The next day I went to a chemist and got the emergency contraceptive (morning after pill); a 1.5mg levonorgestrel which I took around 15 hours after having sex.
Avatar f tn Plan-B is a very effective contraceptive pill which is used as a back-up or an emergency pill if you are not benefitted by the regular birth control method. This is also effective if you are in doubt whether you have used your regular contraceptives correctly or not. Plan-B or Levonorgestrel is a very widely used oral birth control medication and it comes under the classification of progestine. you can buy from chemist shop or online at Drugsdropship24.
Avatar f tn Hi there. Plan B is an emergency contraceptive meaning it causes you not to conceive after unprotected sex. You have to take it relatively quickly for it to work though. It's hormones that upset the balance so that you can't conceive. Now there is also a pill you can take that terminates pregnancy but typically a doctor prescribes that. Again, that is a big dose of hormones to upset the balance.
Avatar f tn Hormonal contraceptives, such as birth control pills Intrauterine devices (IUDs) Barrier devices, such as condoms, diaphragm, and the cervical cap Fertility awareness methods Sterilization The condom is the only form of birth control that protects against sexually transmitted diseases. Emergency Contraception In cases of unprotected sex, women can take emergency contraception to prevent pregnancy.
Avatar f tn My girlfriend and i had unprotected sex and we bought this pills Levonorgestrel Tablets 0.75mg. She took one pill about an hour after intercourse but she did not take the second one. On the paper it said one pill should be taken 12 hours after taking the first one. Now i am worried can the one pill work?
Avatar f tn you should be perfectly fine providing you've been taking your pill correctly as you say you have been :) the "dosage" of pills isn't anything to worry about, they all work in the same way - preventing ovulation, thinning the womb lining to make it harder for an embryo to attach, and thickening the mucus so sperm can't get past the cervix as easily. it seems to me that levora isn't a "low dose" - it's simply that it contains 0.
Avatar n tn pill (that contains 50 microg of ethinyl estradiol and .5 mg of Levonorgestrel) roughly 24 hours after the intercourse and another 24 hours later 12 hours third one and fourth one 24 hours after that. it's been a week now and she hasn't had her period yet, but she's experiencing lower abdominal pain and tiredness (which are said to be the symptoms of the pills) what are her chances of being pregnant?
Avatar n tn 0.03mg, Levonorgestrel:0.15mg. i read on the internet that a high dosage of birth control pills acts as a morning after pill but i dont know what excatly is a high dosage. please guide me on this. what dosage of this birth control pill should i consume so that it acts as a morning after pill (emergency contraceptive).
Avatar n tn I was recommended microgynon 30 which contains ethinylestradiol 30 mcg / levonorgestrel 150 mcg. I took the pill on the first day of my period at 10pm That evening I lost the pill pack and as microgynon 30 wasn't available at the GP's office, I was instead put on Gedarel 30/150 which contains ethinylestradiol 30 mcg / desogestrel 150 mcg.
Avatar n tn There are still little chances that she could get pregnant if there was any preejaculate which came in contact with her vagina.Taking an emergency contraceptive within 24-48 hours of unprotected intercourse can prevent pregnancy .Ecpills work by blocking fertilized eggs from implanting in a woman’s uterus. After taking these pills there may a delay in next periods. Wait and watch for your periods .
Avatar n tn Since this original post we have visited a doctor and my wife has taken the ECP levonorgestrel. She took the first pill ~32hrs after the event and a second pill about 12hrs later as per doctor's instruction. We were unable to visit a doctor prior to this late hour due to the holiday season (Chinese New Year) over here resulting in clinics being closed. Unfortunately ECPs are not available as an over the counter drug at pharmacies.
Avatar f tn I'm 16 and me and my boyfriend had unprotected sex last tuesday night (Aug 30). He pulled out before his release and was sure that none got in my vagina (withdrawal method). I wasn't quite convinced and started taking "Lady" emergency contraceptive pill. It contains levonorgestrel and ethinyl estradiole. It's my first time so I wanna ask if it's okay even if I start taking it even when I'm not on my period yet?

1842569 tn?1320917441 Causes of menorrhagia are hormonal imbalance, fibroids (benign (non-cancerous) tumors that often occur in the uterus of women during their thirties or forties), uterine cysts(ovarian cysts) and polyps(cervical or endometrial). Intrauterine contraceptive devices (IUD’s) and pelvic inflammatory disease may also lead to excessive bleeding. In my opinion, physical and pelvic examination along with blood tests and ultrasound pelvis are required to make a diagnosis.
Avatar m tn she took an I-pill which is an emergency contraceptive pill containing 1.5mg of Levonorgestrel. her last period was on the 11th of october and the one before that was on the 9th of september. but she experienced some midcycle breakthrough bleeding this month on the 30th. she is also experiencing sore breasts. what does this mean in the context of pregnancy and its chances and also in the context of side effects on her body. is everything ok?
Avatar f tn There's also an intrauterine device. If you don't want children for 3-5 years, it could potentially be an option. You have to choose a contraceptive method best suited for your lifestyle. There's side effects for each method but not every individual experiences them.
Avatar f tn Hi, Infrequent and light menstruation can be because of anaemia, an overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism), long term use of oral contraceptive pills, polycystic ovarian disease and intrauterine problems like adhesions. An ultrasound may be required to make the diagnosis. Consult a gynaecologist for an evaluation. Hope this helps.
Avatar f tn Hence if you have to take the pill then, choose a low-dose contraceptive which will reduce the risks of side effects, including weight gain. Watch your weight, eat a healthy diet, and exercise regularly. You could also consider an intrauterine device (IUD) with a low dose of hormones, like the Mirena or vaginal rings. The answer is based on information provided. Exact advice is not possible without a proper examination and investigations. You are requested to consult your Doctor.
