Question 1

I had sex on April 28 around 11 pm and I think the condom broke because I heard a popping sound. So I took Plan B the next day, April 29, at 10 pm. I had just finished my last period on April 27, and my flow chart says I'm supposed to start ovulating 7 days after taking the emergency pill. Will Plan B still be effective if I ovulate 7 days later? I'm also having some minor side effects like pelvic pain on the left sideis that normal?

Accepted Answer

Plan B is most effective when taken as soon as possible after unprotected sex. It can work by preventing or delaying ovulation. Taking Plan B within 24 hours of unprotected sex is more effective than taking it later. As for the pelvic pain from the left side, it is not a common side effect of Plan B. However, some women may experience abdominal pain or cramping as a side effect. If the pain is severe or persistent, it is recommended to consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation.

Question 2

After my C-section, I noticed pus-like liquid coming from the incision. Can you suggest a good cream that helps with healing and also deals with the pus?

Accepted Answer

If pus-like liquid is coming from your C-section incision, it's essential to seek medical advice immediately. Pus indicates a potential infection, and it's important to address it promptly. While some creams may offer temporary relief, they cannot treat a true infection.

Question 3

I'm a bit worried because I missed my period. Can I use a home test like Prega News to see if I'm pregnant, or should I do a urine or blood test at the lab?

Accepted Answer

Concerns about your daughter's weight and development are understandable.

- Vitamin and mineral supplements may be necessary.

Pediatrician may recommend:

- Weight gain supplements like Pediasure or Ensure.
- Vitamin D and calcium supplements for bone development.

Please consult a pediatrician for a thorough evaluation and guidance.
