Question

I'm a 21-year-old female and had both unprotected and protected sex with my boyfriend on the last day of my ovulation window. I took an emergency contraceptive pill the next morning. It's been two weeks now and I haven't experienced any withdrawal bleeding, plus I've missed my period. There was no semen contact. Is there still a possibility of being pregnant, or could it just be that the pill is delaying my period?

It is possible that the delay in your period is due to the emergency contraceptive pill you took. However, to rule out pregnancy, you can take a pregnancy test. If you are concerned about a possible pregnancy, you can consider taking a pregnancy test for confirmation.

My wife is in her 10th week of pregnancy and has been prescribed ONDEM MD 4 to help with nausea and vomiting. The instructions are to take it twice a day, but we're a bit worried if it's safe to use on a daily basis. Also, one evening she unintentionally took a double dose. Should we be concerned about any side effects from that? Really appreciate any insights you can share.
