I'm taking Susten 200mg tablets twice a day during my luteal phase, as my doctor recommended. It's supposed to be for 10 days, but after 8 days, I started bleeding. Does this mean I'm not pregnant? Is it normal to bleed before finishing the Susten tablets since they're progesterone? Im unsure if I should continue taking the last two days' worth of tablets.

I'm 22 and haven't had sex in over a year, but I'm having issues with irregular periods. I saw a gynecologist who said I need a blood test and ultrasound to figure out what's going on. She mentioned it might be due to some fat above my uterus. I'm curious, can she find out if I'm a virgin from those tests?

Can my girlfriend get pregnant if I ejaculated on her panties and her vagina area while she was wearing them? I'm kind of worried and would love some advice on this.

Yes, there is a possibility of pregnancy in this situation. It is important to consider emergency contraception as soon as possible. I recommend taking an emergency contraceptive pill such as Plan B One-Step within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse to reduce the risk of pregnancy.

I'm a bit worried and need some advice. My partner and I had sex, and about 12 hours later, I took an Unwanted 72 pill. But then we had sex again just an hour after I took the pill. Is there a chance I could be pregnant, or should I be considering taking another pill?

Since you took the pill within 12 hours of the first intercourse, it should still be effective. However, it is not recommended to rely on emergency contraception as a regular form of birth control. If you are concerned about pregnancy, you can consider taking another dose of unwanted72 within 72 hours of the second intercourse for added protection. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage instructions on the packaging.
