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. -
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.
-
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've been trying to get pregnant for the past year. We've already done a semen analysis and HSG, and now we're doing a follicular study. We're in the second cycle now. My doctor has me on Mvista Maturova tablets from day 2 to day 7. Just two days ago, on day 13, my follicle was 24mm, and after an HCG injection and starting Susten tablets (2 daily for 15 days), my ultrasound showed a 32 mm cyst. It's causing me some ovary pain, and I'm pretty worried. Can you explain what this cyst might mean? What steps should we take next?

I'm really worried because I haven't had my period for the last 6 months, and I can feel something hard in my belly. I don't really feel any other symptoms, but back in January, I had typhoid and jaundice. Could this be related to that? I also had sex in November, but my missed period started before then. Is it possible that I might be pregnant, or could it be something else entirely?
Given your 6-month amenorrhea (absence of periods), feeling something hard in your belly, and previous illnesses like typhoid and jaundice, it's essential to consult a gynecologist
