I've consulted with you a couple of times about my PCOS and irregular periods. You mentioned using devire and krimson 35. Could you guide me on when exactly I should start taking krimson 35 in relation to my period cycle? I've been a bit confused about timing it right.

Papaya and Pregnancy Prevention
No Scientific Evidence
There is no scientific evidence to support the claim that papaya can prevent pregnancy after regular sex.
Papaya's Effect on Fertility
Papaya contains an enzyme called papain, which may have anti-fertility effects in large quantities. However, eating papaya after sex will not prevent pregnancy.
Effectiveness of Post-Coital Papaya Consumption
Eating papaya 20 hours after sex is unlikely to have any effect on preventing pregnancy. Sperm can survive inside the female reproductive tract for up to 5 days, and ovulation can occur at any time.
Reliable Contraception Methods
To prevent pregnancy, consider using reliable contraception methods, such as:
- Condoms
- Birth control pills
- Intrauterine devices (IUDs)
- Emergency contraception (e.g., Plan B)
What to Do Next
If your girlfriend is concerned about pregnancy, she can:
- Take a pregnancy test after 3-4 weeks.
- Consider emergency contraception (if within 72 hours of sex).
- Consult a healthcare provider for guidance on contraception and reproductive health.

View allI'm really worried because after having sex with my girlfriend, I gave her Unwanted 72. An hour later, she started having a headache. She felt better the next day, but then in the afternoon, her head began hurting again, this time not as bad. However, by nighttime, the pain got really intense. Could this be a side effect of the pill? What should I do to help her feel better?
Your girlfriend may be experiencing a side effect of Unwanted 72 emergency contraceptive pill. Headache is a common side effect of this medication. To help alleviate the headache, she can take a pain reliever such as Paracetamol (e.g. Tylenol) 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain relief. It is important to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest. If the headache persists or becomes severe, it would be advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
