I'm 31 and had my first IUI on August 17th. I had four follicles around 21-24mm and my husband's sperm count was 110 million. Now it's the fifth day post-IUI and I'm feeling mild cramping in my lower back and abdomen, similar to period cramps, but my period isn't due until September 4th. Should I be concerned about these symptoms or schedule a visit with my gynecologist?

The mild cramping you're experiencing five days post-IUI is likely due to ovulation or implantation, but to confirm and alleviate concerns, schedule a follow-up appointment with your gynaecologist around 14-16 days post-IUI for a pregnancy test

I'm kind of worried because I had unprotected intercourse a while back, but I've had two periods since then. Does having my periods mean that there's no chance of being pregnant, or should I still be concerned?

Hey, so we had sex early Sunday morning and my girlfriend took an ipill that night. Then we ended up having unprotected sex again on Tuesday. I'm just wondering if the ipill will still work for the second time or does she need to take another pill?

The effectiveness of emergency contraceptive pills like i-pill decreases if taken multiple times in a short period. It is recommended to not rely on i-pill as a regular form of contraception. For the recent unprotected sex on Tuesday, your girlfriend can consider taking another emergency contraceptive pill like Unwanted 72 within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse to reduce the risk of pregnancy.

I'm a 20-year-old girl and I've been having some irritation in my private area. This year on February 29th, I had my first sexual experience with my partner. At first, he didn't use a condom, but then he did for the rest. It was really painful, and I even bled a bit. After about 5 minutes the pain stopped and I started to enjoy it. I took some emergency contraception because I was worried about pregnancy. But the day after, the pain came back. Then we had sex again with a condom on March 4th, and I ended up taking emergency contraception again. About 15 days after that, I started experiencing the pain more regularly, especially on days I wear tight jeans. Is this normal or should I be worried?

,it may be Vulvodynia, a unexplained pain or discomfort in the vulva(vaginal opening) area that typically strikes women between ages 18 and 25 and lasts more than three months. Symptoms include chronic burning, stinging, knifelike pain, rawness or irritation that comes and goes. The pain can interfere with sex, tampon insertion, and even make wearing undergarments or pants intolerable. So next time avoid tight jeans,, practice foreplay before sex and Vagina need to be ready (wet with vaginal secretion) before insertion of penis. Taking I pill also cause irregular pain and bleeding for many days or even weeks,, please avoid them next time, use condoms or Copper - T for unwanted pregnancy. And bleeding and pain after first time sex is common due to hymen tear.
