  1. Safety and Usage
    Taking two doses of Levonorgestrel 1.5 mg in one week is generally safe for healthy women, including those aged 25. However, it's meant for occasional use, not regular contraception.

  2. Effectiveness and Side Effects

    • Effectiveness: Frequent use may reduce effectiveness and cause menstrual irregularities.
    • Side Effects: Possible side effects include nausea, fatigue, headache, or changes in your period, which are usually temporary.
  3. Consultation and Advice

    • Consult a Healthcare Provider: If frequent use is needed, discuss more reliable contraceptive options with a healthcare professional.
    • When to Seek Medical Advice: Consult a doctor if you experience severe abdominal pain, heavy bleeding, or if your period is over a week late.

In summary, while taking two emergency contraceptive pills in one week is not typically harmful, consider regular contraception methods for ongoing protection. For personalized advice, consult your healthcare provider.

I'm planning my wedding and my gynecologist recommended starting on Femovan for six months, beginning on the 5th day of my cycle. My wedding will happen before I've finished all 21 tablets. Is it still going to be effective? Also, is starting on the 5th day the right approach? I really want to be sure it's all good and if it'll work without any other protection.

Starting Femovan on the 5th day of your cycle is a common practice to ensure its effectiveness. As long as you take the pills consistently every day, even if your marriage occurs before completing the full 21 tablets, Femovan should still be effective in preventing pregnancy. It is important to follow your gynecologist's instructions for the best results. Femovan is a combined oral contraceptive pill containing ethinylestradiol and gestodene.

I'm a 30-year-old married person and I recently found out there's free fluid in the pod. I'm not sure what that means for me. Could it indicate that I'm pregnant, or is it something else I should be aware of?

The presence of free fluid in the pod can be a sign of ovulation or early pregnancy. It is not a definitive indicator of pregnancy on its own. Further evaluation and monitoring may be needed to determine the exact cause.

I'm a 26-year-old woman with a 10-month-old daughter, and I've noticed something that's been bothering me. About a year and a half ago, my sexual desire started to gradually fade, and now it feels like it has completely disappeared. My husband and I can go months without being intimate, and honestly, it doesnt really bother me. When we do have intimate moments, its more out of obligation because I feel guilty about making him wait so long. I'm worried about why this is happening and wondering if there's something I should be doing to bring back my desire. Could there be an underlying issue I need to address?

Medications (antidepressants, birth control) Emotional and Psychological Factors 1. Relationship issues (communication, intimacy, or trust) 2. Depression or anxiety 3. Low self-esteem 4. Trauma or past experiences 5. Life transitions (marriage, parenthood) Next Steps 1. Consult a healthcare provider or therapist to rule out underlying medical conditions. 2. Explore couples therapy to address relationship dynamics. 3. Consider sex therapy to address intimacy and desire. 4. Discuss hormone replacement therapy (HRT) or other treatment options with your healthcare provider.
