I had my last period on 4th November. I had unprotected sex on 25th November. What are the chances of getting pregnant? When should I take a pregnancy test? Should I take a contraceptive pill now? If yes, please tell me the drug name and instructions to take the pill. Please also mention any side effects of the pill.

Unprotected sex on Day 21 of the cycle is outside the usual fertile window, so chance is low but not zero. Emergency pill should be taken within 72 hours its now too late. Wait until the missed period, then take a urine pregnancy test. Side effects of iPill: nausea, delay in periods, spotting, fatigue.

I am 6 months pregnant and my urine microscopic examination shows pus cells 5 to 7 and epithelial cells 7 to 10. My doctor has suggested taking Nitrofurantoin SR 100 twice daily for 7 days. My query is whether it is safe to take during pregnancy and should I take it or not.

My periods are 4 days late, and I have cloudy discharge. I did a pregnancy test yesterday, which was negative. My last intercourse was on 31st August, after which I got my period. Last month has been very stressful, with on and off fever, cough, extreme emotional stress, and sleepless nights due to personal issues. Could these factors be the reason for my delayed period?

Is it possible to get pregnant if we had intercourse on the 8th day of my period during a 28 day cycle? I am now 5 days late, and I took a urine pregnancy test when I was 2 days late, which was negative. What are the possibilities of pregnancy at this stage? I am also experiencing PMS like symptoms and white, creamy, non sticky vaginal discharge.
