View allI recently had unprotected sex and needed an emergency pill, but I couldn't find i pill or Unwanted 72 in Hyderabad. Are these pills banned everywhere now? The pharmacist offered me something called i doz 72 instead. Is this the same thing as the others? Is it safe to take?
i-Pill and Unwanted-72 are not banned in India, but availability issues may occur; i-Doz 72, containing levonorgestrel 1.5mg, is an alternative emergency contraceptive pill, considered safe and effective when taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex, with similar efficacy to i-Pill and Unwanted-72.

I'm usually pretty regular with my periods, getting them on or before the due date. But this time, it's come a week late, and what's really worrying me is that I'm passing unusually large blood clots along with the normal bleeding. The amount of blood is also way more than I usually get. Is it normal to have clots like this, or should I be concerned about something?

I'm currently 39 weeks pregnant, and my cervical length is showing up as 3.5 cm. I'm kind of worried and curious to know what the ideal cervical length should be for a vaginal delivery. Also, is there anything like exercises or other ways to increase cervical length, or should I even be thinking about that?
A cervical length of 3.5 cm at 39 weeks is actually considered good enough for a vaginal delivery. Ideally, a cervical length of 30-40 mm (or 3-4 cm) at 20 weeks is considered normal for a vaginal delivery. As for increasing cervical length, it's not something you can directly control. However, maintaining a healthy pregnancy through regular prenatal care, a balanced diet, and staying hydrated can support overall cervical health.
