Question 1

I'm using Femilon for my PCOS and started it from the first day of my period for 21 days. After five days, I noticed some light spotting. Do you think this could be a medical issue? Also, when should I start the next 21-day strip of Femilon? I'm a bit worried and could use some guidance.

Question 2

I took misoprostol earlier in the day around 11:30 am and noticed a bit of spotting. If I push a bit, I get some bleeding, but it's not heavy at all. My doctor mentioned that I'd start having heavier bleeding after about 3 to 4 hours, but that hasn't happened yet. It's almost 9:30 now, and I'm getting worried. What should I do next?

Accepted Answer

Given that it's been 9.5 hours since taking misoprostol and you're experiencing only spotting and minimal bleeding upon straining, contact your doctor immediately for guidance, as the expected heavy bleeding hasn't occurred; your doctor may recommend another dose of misoprostol,

Question 3

I had unprotected sex on April 6th and my girlfriend's last period started on March 8th. She's 21 and really doesn't want to be pregnant. It's April 13th now and her period still hasn't started. We're both worried. What should we do?

Accepted Answer

Firstly what you need to do is quit having sex with her this way.
If she doesn't want to be pregnant and you don't want to take any responsibility, then why don't you use condom?
Take her to a gynaecologist in person for further evaluation and management.
