  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 have a 37x15x14 mm oval-shaped T1T2 hypointense submucosal fibroid with polypoidal extension into the endocervical canal. My doctor recommended surgery, but I'm wondering if there are any homeopathy treatments that could work instead since I want to have another baby and already have a 2-year-old. Should I go ahead with the surgery or try other options first?

surgery is option only.

I've been intimate with my boyfriend, and I'm a bit confused. After oral sex, he kissed me and then went down on me. Is there any possibility that I could get pregnant from this?

I'm really worried and curious about something that happened recently. Is it possible to feel early pregnancy symptoms like stomach pain, nausea, and fatigue just two days after having intercourse? I know it's super early, but I've been feeling off and can't help but wonder if these could be signs of pregnancy. Can such symptoms show up that quickly, or am I just imagining things?

Symptoms like stomach pain, nausea, and fatigue can occur 2-3 days after intercourse due to various factors: Ovulation and Implantation 1. Implantation cramps (2-3 days after fertilization) 2. Hormonal changes triggering nausea and fatigue Other Possibilities 1. Pre-menstrual syndrome (PMS) symptoms 2. Ovulation symptoms (e.g., bloating, cramps) 3. Infection or inflammation (e.g., pelvic inflammatory disease) Pregnancy-Specific Symptoms 1. Implantation bleeding (light bleeding or spotting) 2. Mild cramping (uterine contractions) 3. Breast tenderness
