I've recently had unprotected sex and I'm worried about the risk of pregnancy. Can I take the emergency contraceptive pill, like IPILLS, to prevent this?

I've been experiencing very painful menstrual cramps and my doctor recommended I try Meftal Spas tablets. They've been really helpful in relieving my pain for about 5 to 6 hours, and I've been taking them whenever the pain gets too intense. But now I'm noticing that my periods are getting delayed and the cramps seem to be even more painful. Could these things be side effects of the tablets?

Meftal Spas is a commonly used medication for menstrual pain, but frequent use can sometimes affect the regularity of your periods or increase pain in some cases. It's important to use it cautiously and consult your doctor if you notice changes in your cycle or increased discomfort, as they may need to adjust your treatment plan.

I recently found out that my periods are delayed by about 8 days, so I ended up taking a beta hCG test. The results showed a really low beta hCG level, and it indicates less than 4 weeks of pregnancy with a value of 242.9 mIUml. I'm concernedis having a low hCG level at this point something that could lead to a miscarriage? I'm not sure what to think and would love to know if this is something I should be worried about.

repeat your hcg levels after 48hours see if you have increase in levels, then it is not miscarraige

I've used regestrone before to push back my periods, but I need some clarity on the right dosage. Last time, I think I was told to take one tablet a day starting three days before the period, but I'm uncertain about it. I've also read that some people take it three times a day. What's the recommended dosage for delaying periods?

To delay your periods, the recommended dosage of Regestrone (Norethisterone) is usually one tablet three times a day, starting 3 days before the expected date of your period. This regimen is typically continued until you are ready to have your period. So, the total daily dosage would be three tablets of Regestrone per day, taken at regular intervals. Remember to consult your Gynecologist before starting any new medication.
