I'm really worried and could use some help. My girlfriend and I had sex the day after her period ended, and I gave her an Unwanted 72 pill 48 hours later. A week after taking the pill, she got her period again, and a blood test showed negative for pregnancy. But now, it's been a month since all that, and she hasn't gotten her period again. She's feeling pain in her stomach and like there's something moving in a circular way. Could you tell me what might be going on?

I'm 31 and had my first IUI on August 17th. I had four follicles around 21-24mm and my husband's sperm count was 110 million. Now it's the fifth day post-IUI and I'm feeling mild cramping in my lower back and abdomen, similar to period cramps, but my period isn't due until September 4th. Should I be concerned about these symptoms or schedule a visit with my gynecologist?

The mild cramping you're experiencing five days post-IUI is likely due to ovulation or implantation, but to confirm and alleviate concerns, schedule a follow-up appointment with your gynaecologist around 14-16 days post-IUI for a pregnancy test

I have a 6 cm ovarian cyst on my left side and my cycle length is 40 days but I don't have any abdominal or pelvic pain. Do I really need surgery or can it be managed with contraceptives?

Excision of the cyst is advised to the patient.
