My last menstrual period was on April 24. We had unprotected intercourse on April 28, and I took an emergency contraceptive (ipill) on April 29. My period has still not arrived. I have taken five home pregnancy tests, all of which were negative. I consulted a doctor, who prescribed Meperate, and I have been taking it for the past three days, but my period has not started yet. I am feeling worried.

Emergency pills can delay your periods by several weeks due to hormonal changes. Since all your pregnancy tests are negative, its unlikely youre pregnant. Meprate doesnt cause periods during the course bleeding usually starts 7 to 10 days after finishing the full dose. Wait till then.

Hi, last month I had an HSG test, which was normal. This month, I was given an HCG 5000 injection for ovulation. My left ovary released an egg a few days ago. Now, I have sharp pain in my left ovary once a day for 2 to 3 minutes. Is this normal implantation, an ectopic pregnancy, or something else?

Hi, I got a positive urine pregnancy test and my HCG value is about 779. But I have light bleeding with mild cramps. I also have gastric trouble. Can you suggest what is happening and can I consider myself pregnant or not?

I did a pregnancy test, and it is positive. However, I am experiencing mild cramps on both sides of my lower abdomen and some backache. What could be the reason for these symptoms?
