I had unprotected sex on the 9th day after my period ended. My cycle is usually between 25 to 28 days. Should I consider taking an emergency contraceptive pill like the I pill? I'm a bit worried.

Timing: Since you had unprotected sex on the 9th day after your period and your cycle is 25-28 days, this may be near your fertile window.
-
Action: Consider taking the I pill (Levonorgestrel 1.5 mg) as soon as possible, ideally within 72 hours of the unprotected encounter.
-
Effectiveness: The pill is most effective when taken promptly and can help delay ovulation.
-
Safety: Levonorgestrel is generally safe for most women.
-
Next Steps: If beyond 72 hours, consult a healthcare provider for alternatives like the copper IUD.
Note: Emergency contraception is a backup, not a regular birth control method. Discuss ongoing contraceptive options with your healthcare provider.

I'm really confused right now since my period is 36 days late. I took a pregnancy test two weeks back and it came out negative, but I'm experiencing a bunch of pregnancy symptoms. I'm not sure what to do next. Should I be worried about something else going on? What steps should I take from here?
It's important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can consider taking a different brand of pregnancy test or a blood test for a more accurate result. If pregnancy is ruled out and your period is still delayed, your doctor may recommend further investigations or prescribe medication such as Provera (medroxyprogesterone) to help induce a period.

It's important to consult your doctor before continuing Montral and Omnacortil during pregnancy. While they may help manage symptoms, both medications have potential risks for the baby. Your doctor can suggest safer alternatives to manage your allergic cough during pregnancy.
