I'm planning my wedding and my gynecologist recommended starting on Femovan for six months, beginning on the 5th day of my cycle. My wedding will happen before I've finished all 21 tablets. Is it still going to be effective? Also, is starting on the 5th day the right approach? I really want to be sure it's all good and if it'll work without any other protection.

Starting Femovan on the 5th day of your cycle is a common practice to ensure its effectiveness. As long as you take the pills consistently every day, even if your marriage occurs before completing the full 21 tablets, Femovan should still be effective in preventing pregnancy. It is important to follow your gynecologist's instructions for the best results. Femovan is a combined oral contraceptive pill containing ethinylestradiol and gestodene.

View allI'm 6 weeks pregnant and my hcg levels are going up really slowly. They only went from 4300 to 4500 over four days. I'm feeling worried about whether this could mean my pregnancy might not be viable. Should I consider taking hcg injections to help?
Delayed Periods After Dengue _Possible Causes_ 1. _Hormonal imbalance_: Dengue can disrupt hormonal balances, leading to delayed periods. 2. _Stress and recovery_: Your body may still be recovering from the dengue infection, causing a delay in your menstrual cycle. 3. _Other factors_: Other factors like weight loss, changes in appetite, or stress can also contribute to delayed periods. _Normal Menstrual Cycle Disruption_ 1. _Common occurrence_: It's common for women to experience changes in their menstrual cycle after a severe illness like dengue. 2. _Temporary disruption_: This disruption is usually temporary, and your menstrual cycle should return to normal once your body has fully recovered. _Recommended Actions_ 1. _Wait and monitor_: Wait for another week or two to see if your periods resume on their own. 2. _Consult a gynecologist_: If your periods don't resume after 6-8 weeks, consult a gynecologist to rule out any underlying conditions. 3. _Perform a pregnancy test_: Take a pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy as a cause of delayed periods. _When to Seek Medical Attention_ 1. _Severe abdominal pain_: If you experience severe abdominal pain or heavy bleeding. 2. _Prolonged delay_: If your periods are delayed for more than 8 weeks. 3. _Other symptoms_: If you experience other symptoms like fever, vomiting, or dizziness.

I'm curious about what to expect after taking Crina NCR 15. If someone uses it once daily for 5 days, how long until they should expect their period to start? Also, could you explain how Crina NCR 15 actually works?
Crina NCR 15, containing norethisterone 15mg, is a progesterone-only pill that can help regulate menstrual cycles; when taken once daily for 5 days, it can induce withdrawal bleeding, which is often mistaken for a period; typically, withdrawal bleeding occurs 2-4 days after finishing the 5-day course, so you may expect bleeding around 7-9 days after starting Crina NCR 15.

I'm about 35 days pregnant and I've had it confirmed. The doctor gave me a Sifasi 2000 IU injection and I'm wondering why it's needed during pregnancy. Also, I've noticed my stomach making noises sometimes and I'm curious about what might be causing that. Could you provide some insight?
