I'm really worried and curious about something that happened recently. Is it possible to feel early pregnancy symptoms like stomach pain, nausea, and fatigue just two days after having intercourse? I know it's super early, but I've been feeling off and can't help but wonder if these could be signs of pregnancy. Can such symptoms show up that quickly, or am I just imagining things?

Ovulation and Implantation

Implantation cramps (2-3 days after fertilization)

Hormonal changes triggering nausea and fatigue

Ovulation symptoms (e.g., bloating, cramps)

I'm a new mom with a 4-month-old baby, and I'm breastfeeding. I'm worried about finding a safe emergency contraceptive pill that won't affect my breast milk. Could you let me know if options like ipill or Unwanted 72 are safe to use while I'm nursing?

For breastfeeding mothers, the World Health Organization recommends using progestin-only emergency contraceptive pills (ECPs), such as Ulipristal acetate (not available in India) or Levonorgestrel (available in India as Unwanted-72 or similar formulations), which are safer than combined estrogen-progestin pills like i-pill; however, it's essential to consult your GYNAECOLOGIST before taking any ECP while breastfeeding.
