I'm a 28-year-old woman and I'm married. My period was supposed to start around the 24th or 25th this month, but it's late. Usually, I have a regular cycle and it doesn't skip. This time, I tried to prepone my cycle by a couple of days, so I took Primolut N twice a day for three days on the 12th, 13th, and 14th. I waited 5 days after that for my period to start, but nothing happened. Could Primolut N be causing any side effects, like delaying my period or stopping it altogether? What should I do now?

rimolut N, containing norethisterone, can cause changes in menstrual cycle, including delayed or absent periods, as a common side effect, especially when taken in high doses or for extended periods, and since you've already waited 5 days after stopping the medication, it's recommended to wait a few more days and if your period doesn't start, take a pregnancy test and consult your gynecologist for further guidance and to rule out any underlying hormonal imbalances.

I'm taking primolut N to delay my periods because of a work emergency. My period was originally supposed to start around the 23rd or 24th of September. Today is the 22nd, and I'm on my second day with primolut N, but I'm noticing a light white-pinkish discharge. Is this normal? Should I keep taking primolut N? I really can't afford to get my period right now because it's usually very heavy.

It's normal to experience some spotting or discharge while taking this medication, especially in the initial days, as it can affect the lining of your uterus.If the discharge becomes heavier, or you experience any unusual symptoms like severe abdominal pain or heavy bleeding then consult the doctor

I'm really worried and would appreciate your advice. Me and my girlfriend only had oral sex about a month ago, and we're pretty sure it was just that. She usually has irregular periods, and her last one was on March 3rd. This month, her period skipped, and she's been worried ever since. After missing her period by a couple of days, we did a urine HCG test which came back negative, and then repeated it 4 days later, still negative. She's noticed some whitish smears in her underpants, and she said she's experienced this before due to sexual arousal. But now that seems to have stopped. Could there still be any chance of pregnancy from oral sex? Is it even possible for saliva to cause pregnancy when I kissed her and then went down on her? Please help me understand what's going on.

no need to worry sice hcg is negative you are less likely to be pregnant and it is less likely to be pregnant by your methods consult your gynac for further treatment

I recently had unprotected sex and needed an emergency pill, but I couldn't find i pill or Unwanted 72 in Hyderabad. Are these pills banned everywhere now? The pharmacist offered me something called i doz 72 instead. Is this the same thing as the others? Is it safe to take?

i-Pill and Unwanted-72 are not banned in India, but availability issues may occur; i-Doz 72, containing levonorgestrel 1.5mg, is an alternative emergency contraceptive pill, considered safe and effective when taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex, with similar efficacy to i-Pill and Unwanted-72.
