I'm kind of worried because I had unprotected sex on March 20th and got nervous so I took an ipill within 12 hours, even though he didnt finish inside me. Then the next day we had unprotected sex again, and I took another ipill. My period was supposed to start on March 25th, but now its late, and I havent had any bleeding, even though Ive read that you might get a heavy flow after taking ipills. I'm really scared. What should I do?

The delay in your period could be a side effect of the pill. I recommend waiting for a few more days for your period to arrive. If you do not get your period after a week or so, you can consider taking a pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy. In the meantime, try to stay calm and avoid stress as it can also affect your menstrual cycle.

I'm dealing with a fever and some chills, and even though I'm taking crosin and ceftum, it doesn't seem to be helping. I'm also pregnant and was prescribed ceftum because of a urine infection. Should I be worried, or is there something else I should be doing?

I'm a bit worried because my wife's period was supposed to start on February 26, 2020, but it hasn't yet. She took a pregnancy test with the Prega News kit, and it came back negative. She's been experiencing some stomach pain, especially on the lower side, and she's feeling really tired, especially at night, and a bit nauseous. I'm just wondering what steps we should take to help her period start. Any advice?

without any further delay get a scan done and visit Gynaecologist for appropriate management
