  1. Timing and Effectiveness:

    • The I pill is most effective when taken within 12 hours of unprotected sex, but can work up to 72 hours.
  2. Menstrual Changes:

    • Your period may be earlier or later. A delay of more than a week suggests taking a pregnancy test.
  3. Symptoms to Watch:

    • Side effects like nausea or spotting are normal and don’t indicate failure.
  4. Pregnancy Test:

    • If your period is over a week late, take a pregnancy test for confirmation.
  5. Consult a Healthcare Provider:

    • If concerned or experiencing unusual symptoms, consult a doctor for advice.

Note: The I pill is a backup method, not for regular use. Consider discussing regular contraceptive options with your healthcare provider.

My mom has a 65 mm fibroid in her uterus and doesn't want surgery could this be dangerous? Are there other treatment options besides surgery? Really worried about her and would appreciate advice. Also, if surgery is the only option, can you suggest a good doctor?

A 65 mm fibroid can be considered large and may cause symptoms or complications, but it's not always necessary to have surgery. There are other treatment options like uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) or medication to shrink fibroids. It's crucial to discuss all options with a gynecologist or interventional radiologist to determine the best course of action for your mom.
