Hello! I have been unable to take my Xulane BC patch for nearly one month. Ive been on it for nearly 10 years. Its unavailable for purchase near me. Once I fly back home I can restart. What can I expect in terms of side effects of not having it? Please keep in mind that Im not using it for preventing pregnancy. I'm using it to manage my hormonal issues with PCOS, Endometriosis, Adenomyosis, etc. What can I do to navigate the moodiness, irritability, etc until I can put the patch back on? How long will it take for my cycle to balance again?
Hello Doctor,
I am currently pregnant around 11 weeks. I have a past history of urticaria (hives) about 8 years ago.
Since yesterday, I am experiencing severe itching all over my body along with red, raised rashes that appear in patches/lines and keep changing location. The itching is present throughout the day and night.
Today I consulted a doctor and was given an injection for allergy and prescribed Lacto Calamine lotion, but the itching is still continuing.
I would like to know:
1. Can I take a safe antihistamine tablet during pregnancy (like cetirizine)?
2. Do I need any further treatment or tests?
3. Is this condition harmful to my baby?
Please advise on safe treatment options.
Thank you.
Hello doc
My age is 35, and recently did a scan which was measuring 6 weeks pregnancy with cardiac activity after two weeks scan is showing again 6 weeks with no cardiac activity with fetal pole and yolk sac but I'm not bleeding still nausea and also exclusively breastfeeding my 1.5 year old.plz tell me whats wrong that suddenly it stops growth?
I had unprotected intercourse with my husband on March 16 for a few minutes, but ejaculation did not occur inside the vagina. Within about 8 hours, I took an emergency contraceptive pill (Unwanted 72).
My last menstrual period started on March 3, and my cycle is usually regular (around 30 days). According to my ovulation tracker, ovulation was expected around March 19–21.
On March 30, around 1 PM, I started experiencing abdominal pain, and then I noticed that my period had started. I had bleeding twice during the day, then again around 11 PM the same night. The next day, I had slight bleeding again around 8 AM.
After that, there was no bright red bleeding. I only had a small amount of brown discharge once, and then everything stopped.
The bleeding was not continuous and was lighter than my usual periods.
I am concerned about:
Whether this bleeding is normal after taking an emergency pill
Whether this could be implantation bleeding
Whether pregnancy is still possible in my case
This is the first time My periods are delayed by 8 days and i am experiencing severe cramps but there is no bleeding. I have also taken the pregnancy test which was negative. I am not able to sleep properly.
