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.

View allI'm almost six months pregnant but I'm still not feeling any baby movement and I'm kind of worried. Last week, I mentioned this to my doctor, and she checked with an instrument to find the heartbeat and said everything was fine. But my family keeps saying I should definitely be feeling the baby move by now. Could you explain to me what baby movements feel like or how I'll know if its the baby moving? I really have no clue and this is my first pregnancy.
-It's completely understandable to feel unsure, especially as this is your first pregnancy. Baby movements can feel like gentle flutters, bubbles, or light taps at first, and they may not be consistent early on. It can vary for each pregnancy, so don't wo

I'm 9 weeks pregnant and would prefer not to have a surgical abortion. I'm thinking about taking the abortion pill, but not sure how to go about it correctly. Could you guide me on how to take the tablets?
You should consult a gynecologist and opt for medical termination of pregnancy. You will be prescribed an MTP kit, or Mefrin Kit.

I'm 34 weeks pregnant and trying to understand some terms from my latest scan results. Can you explain what these foetal growth parameters mean? Like, what do 'bpd 86 mm', 'hc 312 mm', 'fl 69 mm', and 'ac 304 mm' indicate about my baby's growth? And, it says the estimated foetal weight is 2.5 kg, which sounds reassuring, but is that an average weight for this stage? Also, my amniotic fluid is normal with an AFI of 12 and the placenta is posterior with grade 2 maturity in the upper segment. They're saying there are no obvious anomalies now, and something about the Doppler study of the umbilical artery with terms like 'psv 36 cms' and 'edv 15 cms', and other readings like 'pi 0.84', 'sd 2.3', and 'diastolic filling good'. What do these mean for my baby? It also mentions the uterine artery on the right, and the foetal mca Doppler trace is within normal limits. I'm a bit confused about what all these mean, especially when they mention things like a single live foetus with a vertical lie and low head position. It sounds like everything is okay, but no IUGR and no cord around the babys neck are mentioned too. Could you help clarify all this for me?
-Your 34-week ultrasound report shows that your baby is growing well with normal measurements: Biparietal diameter (BPD) of 86 mm, head circumference (HC) of 312 mm, femur length (FL) of 69 mm, abdominal circumference (AC) of 304 mm, and an estimated weig
