I'm a bit concerned because I've had to take the morning-after pill three times this month, and now I'm worried since I haven't gotten my period yet. It's been five days since I took the last pill. Is it normal for my period to be delayed because of this, or should I be worried about something else?

It is common for the menstrual cycle to be disrupted after taking emergency contraception multiple times in a month. The delay in your period could be due to the hormonal changes caused by the repeated use of ipill. However, if you are concerned about the delay in your period, you can consider taking a pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy. If you continue to experience irregular periods or have concerns, it is advisable to consult a gynecologist for further evaluation and management.

I noticed my girlfriend is taking Endogest 200 tablets and recently, she's been having irregular periods, sometimes being delayed by as much as 56 days. I'm a bit worried and not sure why she's on this medication. Is there a specific issue that these tablets address? We're planning to get married in a few months, so I'm also wondering if this could affect her chances of getting pregnant. Can you provide some insight into this?

I had sex on January 24th, and today I noticed a white sticky discharge around my vagina. The condom didn't tear. What could this discharge mean? Is there any chance I could be pregnant?

I got my period on May 30th and was told to take Ovral L. When exactly should I start taking it, and is it okay to use if I'm thinking about getting pregnant in the future?

If you want to take Ovral L for contraception, start it on the first day of your period (May 30th), or as advised by your doctor. If you are planning for conception, you should stop taking Ovral L and give your body some time to adjust. Consult with your doctor about the best time to start trying to conceive after stopping birth control.
