I'm looking for advice on safe ways to prevent pregnancy aside from using condoms. Could you share some options that are completely risk-free and safe?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Aside from condoms, the most reliable and safe methods to avoid pregnancy include hormonal birth control (like birth control pills, patches, or implants), intrauterine devices (IUDs), and permanent solutions like sterilization. It's important to consult your doctor to choose the method best suited to your health and lifestyle.

View allI'm a bit concerned because I've been taking Folligrow tablets for my hair for about two weeks, and my period, which was due on March 1st, still hasn't started. I'm wondering if taking Folligrow might be causing this delay. Could the tablets be affecting my menstrual cycle?

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?
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.
