I'm really worried about my wife. We had unprotected sex and she took an unwanted 72 pill within 24 hours. Since then, she's been dealing with some intense abdominal cramps and says she feels pain and inflammation in her vaginal area when she urinates. There's also a white fluid discharge. What's going on? Can you suggest any medications or what we should do next? Were really concerned here.

It sounds like your wife may be experiencing some side effects from taking the emergency contraceptive pill. The heavy abdominal cramps, pain and inflammation in the vaginal area, and the white fluid could be due to the hormonal changes caused by the pill. To help with the symptoms, she can take over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen to alleviate the abdominal cramps and pain. Additionally, she can use a topical cream containing clotrimazole to help with the inflammation and any potential yeast infection that may be causing the white discharge. I recommend she consult with a gynecologist for further evaluation and management if the symptoms persist or worsen.

I had my HSG test on the 6th of August, and thankfully, the results were normal. My gynecologist suggested that I try to conceive naturally this cycle, but if it doesn't happen, then we should consider doing a follicular study next cycle. I'm wondering if there's a good chance I could conceive this cycle. Right now, I'm on day 9, and in my previous ovulatory follicular study cycles, I've typically ovulated on day 12 or 13. So I'm a bit unsure about when my husband and I should try. Would meeting on day 11, 12, or 13 be ideal?

Day 10 to 15 of your cycle would help in your concern
