Nothing more to suggest now. 1) ideally to use family planning method to avoid pregnancy instead of post sex emergency medicines. 2) most of emergency contraceptives need to be taken within 72 hours of sex- earlier better. 3) you have not given details about which, dose etc. 4) after taking the high hormonal emergency pill one gets withdrawal bleeding 5 to 10 days later, and then a new cycle starts.- new counting. Presence of withdrawal bleeding means no pregnancy by sex prior to it. 5) if this does not happen as well as the period is missed then do a pregnancy test.

It is not recommended to take another dose of the emergency contraceptive pill, unwanted 72, within a short timeframe. Taking multiple doses of the same pill can lead to an increased risk of side effects without providing any additional protection. Engaging in unprotected sex after taking the pill increases the chances of pregnancy. It is advisable to use additional contraceptive methods, such as condoms, to ensure maximum protection against unwanted pregnancies.

Inserting a condom the wrong way initially and then correcting it during sexual activity may pose some risk, as pre-ejaculate (pre-cum) or small amounts of semen could have come into contact with the outer surface of the condom. While condoms are designed to be effective in preventing pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections when used correctly, any deviation from proper use can potentially increase the risk. Here are a few points to consider: pre-ejaculate: it's possible for pre-ejaculate to contain sperm, and if any came into contact with the condom's outer surface, there could be a risk of pregnancy. Correct use: for optimal effectiveness, condoms should be used consistently and correctly. Always ensure the condom is rolled on the right way from the beginning. Emergency contraception: if there is concern about a potential risk of pregnancy, emergency contraception (such as the morning-after pill) can be considered. It's most effective when taken as soon as possible after unprotected intercourse, but it should be used as an emergency measure, not as a regular form of contraception. Consult a healthcare professional: if you have concerns about the risk of pregnancy or want guidance on contraception, it's advisable to consult with a healthcare professional. They can provide personalized advice based on your specific situation and offer information about the most suitable contraceptive methods. Remember that no contraceptive method is 100% foolproof, and it's crucial to use them consistently and correctly to minimize the risk of unintended pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections.

Krimson 35 is a hormonal contraceptive pill that is often used to treat conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (pcos). While it can help regulate menstrual cycles and reduce symptoms associated with pcos, it may not be as effective as a dedicated contraceptive method for preventing pregnancy. Coitus interruptus, or the withdrawal method, is also not considered a highly reliable method of contraception, as it relies on the partner withdrawing before ejaculation. It is not as effective as other forms of contraception, and there is still a risk of pregnancy. Taking an emergency contraceptive pill, such as the "i-pill" after unprotected sex, can help reduce the risk of pregnancy if taken within a specific timeframe after the sexual encounter. However, it is not 100% effective. Regards, Dr. Ms. haque.

Emergency contraceptive pills, commonly known as "morning-after pills" or "i-pills, are designed to be taken as soon as possible after unprotected intercourse to prevent pregnancy. These pills work by delaying or preventing ovulation, interfering with fertilization, or affecting the implantation of a fertilized egg in the uterus. Taking the emergency contraceptive pill within 72 hours (3 days) of unprotected sex is generally effective in reducing the risk of pregnancy. However, the sooner you take it, the more effective it is likely to be. It's important to note that no contraceptive method is 100% effective, and there is still a small chance of pregnancy even after taking emergency contraception. If you're concerned about the possibility of pregnancy, the best course of action is to take a pregnancy test. You can take a home pregnancy test a few weeks after the unprotected intercourse or when your period is expected. If you have any doubts or concerns, it's advisable to consult with a healthcare professional, as they can provide personalized advice based on your specific situation. Regards, Dr. Ms. haque.

Emergency contraceptive pills, commonly known as "morning-after pills" or "i pills, are designed to be taken as soon as possible after unprotected sex to reduce the risk of pregnancy. The efficacy of these pills depends on various factors, including how soon they are taken after unprotected sex and the specific formulation of the pill. Taking emergency contraception within 72 hours (and in some cases up to 120 hours) after unprotected sex can significantly reduce the risk of pregnancy, but it's not guaranteed to prevent it. The sooner you take the pill, the more effective it is likely to be. It's important to note that emergency contraceptive pills are not meant to be used as a regular form of birth control. They should only be used in emergency situations, and if you find yourself needing them frequently, you should consider a more reliable and consistent method of contraception. Regards, Dr. Ms. haque.

If a condom breaks during sexual intercourse, there is a risk of unintended pregnancy and the transmission of sexually transmitted infections (stis). While it's good that you noticed the breakage and took immediate action, it's essential to consider additional precautions to reduce the risk further. Papaya is often rumored to have contraceptive properties, but there is limited scientific evidence to support its effectiveness as a reliable form of contraception. Relying solely on papaya as a contraceptive method is not recommended. Instead, you should consider other more reliable options. Emergency contraception (ec) can be used after unprotected intercourse or condom breakage to reduce the risk of pregnancy. The most effective ec methods include copper intrauterine devices (iuds) or dedicated emergency contraceptive pills. These options are more reliable than relying on home remedies or rumors about certain foods.

Taking the emergency contraceptive pill (commonly known as the "morning-after pill" or "i-pill") within the recommended time frame after unprotected sex can significantly reduce the risk of pregnancy. However, it's important to note that no contraceptive method is 100% effective, including emergency contraception. The bleeding you experienced on july 23rd could be a side effect of taking the emergency contraceptive pill, as it can sometimes cause changes in the menstrual cycle. This bleeding is commonly referred to as "withdrawal bleeding. While it may indicate that the emergency contraception is working, it is not a definitive confirmation that you haven't conceived. If you're concerned about the possibility of pregnancy, the best course of action is to consult a healthcare professional. They can provide you with personalized advice based on your specific situation, offer appropriate pregnancy testing options, and address any other concerns you may have.
