Health Q&A
Periods delay

Had unprotected intercourse on May 24 and took i-pill within 10 hours. I had no spotting or bleeding afterward. My periods usually come between the 6th and 10th of each month. On June 6, I had a period which is a bit heavy than the usual flow for 4–5 days and stopped. Could this have been spotting or was it a regular period? My next period came on July 7 and lasted 4–5 days with my usual flow. I have had no intercourse since May 24. Today is August 11, and my period hasn't come yet. Could I still be pregnant, or is this delay likely due to the pill? When can I expect my period?

Pregnancy planning

I'm 28yrs old, had one abortion at 5.5 weeks in June. I am planning for pregnancy in late this year or may be Jan 2027. Please suggest when should I start taking folic acid and other medications to conceive and everything goes well. No smoking/drinking. Working out and trying to be on healthy diet on most days. Please suggest ?

Period delay

I wanted to ask about my girlfriend's delayed period. Her last period started on June 28, and we expected her next period around July 28, but she still hasn't gotten it. We were intimate between July 2 and July 6, but there was no vaginal intercourse or penetration. We only had oral sex and fingering, and there was no ejaculation. She also took a home pregnancy test, which was negative. Given this situation, is pregnancy a concern, or could the delayed period be due to other reasons? Should we wait a little longer for her period, or would you recommend that she consult a gynecologist or get any tests done?
