What Dose Of Emergency Contraceptive Should Be Taken To Avoid Pregnancy?
Question: My partner inserted penis just once and then he took it out..this was my first time .. 13 th day of my cycle.. so took a pill he gave me.. unwanted 72 he said within 12 hours.. still worried.. when i wd get my next periods? are 2 doses required ? or one is enough? my date is 16th nd today is 2nd..
Brief Answer:
no need of second dose
Detailed Answer:
Hello mam, thanks for trusting health care magic.
There is no need of second dose for sure.
Reasons being -
- he just penetrated and took it out.
- you took ipill within 72 hours of contact which will take care of any pre-cum part.
- 2 doses of ipill will derange your cycle.
So just 1 dose will suffice for sure.
And from next cycle onwards switch To a regular method of contraception.
Take care.

He said he inserted it once or was starting to insert, but since i haven't done sex before i didn't realize, i m doubtful about whether he did it once, or more. I m not sure he is saying truth. Mostly it was once. I did ask him dose but he has not told me yet. this happened on night of 28th and i took pill next day afternoon at about 12 o clock. when i asked him brand name he told me unwanted 72. i did not see the dose of it.. whether it was 0.75 or 1.5. Because of all these things i m worried mam. Mostly it should take care but still thought will ask u. My last period was 16th may, and I took pill on 29th. So when I should expect my periods? in both cases if sperm entered or not entered..? and want my cycles to be regular from now onwards.. does it have any side effects considering future pregnancies?
Brief Answer:
no chance of pregnancy
Detailed Answer:
Hello mam I understand your concern and anxiety.
So far chances of pregnancy are almost nil, just wait for your periods which will come on time most probably.
But in case you don't get them (very very less chances) do a urine pregnancy test which if negative wait for periods to come as slight change 2-4 days is common after emergency pill intake.
But if it is positive then visit your gynecologist as soon as possible.
Future impact on pregnancy are none but it can result in tubal ectopic pregnancy in next cycle in case proper contraception is not taken up.
I hope I have answered your questions but in case you have any queries in future you can contact me directly on health care magic and I will be happy to help.

Hello mam, I had my periods yesterday. I ate one not so ripe papaya along with it's seeds few days back and one unriped papaya along with it's seeds day before yesterday. I ate it since it is believed to be abortificient or to it brings periods faster. But, i m worried what if i had miscarriage? how do i knw? whether it was periods or miscarriage? how do i differentiate? shall i take pregnancy test? i was going to take it on 16th. since it is my date but bleeding started yesterday on 14th.. also i noticed large blood clot passing yesterday. I am having bleeding but i think it is less compared to regular.. mostly i have my periods.. but there are these many questions nd worries in my mind. Also I m a medico so many differential diagnosis come to my mind like ectopic. what shd i do? please help
Brief Answer:
do a urine pregnancy test
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, good to hear that you got your periods.
This change in amount of bleeding is due to unwanted 72 intake.
In my opinion chances of pregnancy are almost nil as you got them on time.
But as you are saying there was a clot which was big enough to raise suspicion about pregnancy then its better to do a urine pregnancy test which if negative will rule out pregnancy as whole and end the uncertainty of this cycle.
Wish you all the best and in case you have other questions you can contact me directly on http://bit.ly/drmanishajain.

Hello mam, took Home pregnancy test today and came negative (only one purple line at the control region). I used test kit with brand name Velocit of Dr. Reddy's. Today on 16th i did the test with first morning sample. Is it necessary to take another test? I have this doubt since ectopics are having low HCG levels. Shall I take ultrasound? Transvaginal ultrasound is specific but can i take it? Since till now only once penis has been inserted? As i have seen may cases(ruptured ectopics) in ward these things come to my mind.
Also my i am having almost no bleeding, its my third day. Normally i get 3 day bleeding, which is less on 3rd day,followed by spotting or lesser bleeding on 4th day. Also yesterday on 2nd day i did not have much bleeding. Is it possible that due to eating of papaya which might have lead to uterine contractions have expelled menstrual content in short time? or is it due to i pill? I always had regular menstrual cycle and i want it to be regular and normal here onward.

Brief Answer:
no risk of pregnancy
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear I totally understand your anxiety but I'm sure that this was your normal period and the decreased amount is due to the effect of progesterone.
Your cycles will be normal from next cycle onwards and flow will also resume itself.
Wish you all the best.
Take care.
