I had an in office procedure done on Dec 21st, started my birth control pill on the 23rd and had unprotected sex on the 28th. I took a pregnancy test today because I had some vertigo the other day and it came back positive. Could this be accurate? It’s been 7 weeks since the abortion.
Hello Ash, please retest in another week.
Ok. I had someone tell me 9-35 days and that freaked me out. Everywhere else I’ve read says 6-8 weeks.
Hello,
I haven’t had period for about 5 months now. When Im losing weight, I lost my period. But I seriously dont want to gain my weight back. Even though I eat quite healthy, and I don’t work out.

Hi I had my period on the 6 January and lasted until 10 but tuesday 29 I started to have small blood coming when I pee before I even reach my period time is it possible if I’m pregnant and I’m not on a pill since 2003
Hi Tgirl,
It’s quite possible that it’s implantation bleeding or that your period is coming sooner than you expected. Plus if you haven’t been on birth control since 2003 and you’ve had unprotected sex, it’s always possible to get pregnant. If you don’t get what you consider to be a regular period by a week after your expected start date I would take a pregnancy test.
I had unprotected sex on the 6th & 7th day of my last period and I took postinor 2 within 24 hours . Then I had unprotected sex again 5 days after my period. Can I take postinor 2 again?
Hi there Bella, you can, however it is not advised to take Morning After Pills so frequently. The best thing to do is to invest in the use of birth control.
I had my period on the 12 Jan 2018 and I had unprotected sex on 22& 23 is it possible I will be pregnant
I cannot find out whether I am pregnant or not?
I have had a regular period till October 2017. After my last menstruation on 28 October 2017 to 1 November 2017 I directly checked a pregnancy kit on 13 December 2017 and tested positive. I have checked this 3 times it was POSITIVE, then within 4 days I had natural miscarriage on the 16th Dec 2017 (Spotting) and from 17 Dec 2017 I had a heavy menstrual flow.
I got a HCG blood test done on 26 December 2017 and it came out to be negative, also pregnancy test kit show negative.
Now I was waiting for my next cycle on 19 January 2017 after a 5-6 day delay I again checked using pregnancy test kit and it showed positive on 26 January 2018. I got my ultrasound on 29 January 2018 my doctor couldn’t see anything in ultrasound.
Now i am confused whether I am pregnant or not

Hi Kanji,
If you are getting a positive pregnancy test I would likely say pregnant. But I would ask your doctor for a blood test. It’s the only way to determine if you are in fact pregnant or not and maybe ask for another ultrasound. You could have also experienced a chemical pregnancy too. I would honestly make another appointment with your doctor. Good luck!
Thank you for your reply , i went to a doctor she said it’s new pregnancy 1775 HCG count but could not see the sac. she asked me to visit after 4 days , we can now see the sac 🙂
Hello I have a question so I had sex dec 27 and for most of the time we used a condom but then he took it off. He didn’t cum at all when we had the condom off. And 10-11 days later I got my period it was on time as usual but I want to know if I could be pregnant. I haven’t had any symptoms but I’ve been been very paranoid even tho my friends tell me I’m not, thank you
Hello Mena, you should be fine, there doesn’t seem any need for worry here.
I had my period on January 6th to the 10th, 2018 but I’m feeling menstruation pains since then and a headache. I’m worried.
Hi Jammy,
Because you are almost a week away from your anticipated next cycle, you could be experiencing PMS. You could experience anything ranging from moodiness to pain in the breasts, abdomen, back, and other joints and muscles, changes in appetite, and digestive issues as well. These are all normal. Should they continue after the first day or so of your period I would suggest making an appointment. Until then, take some pain meds, keep up with your fluids, and relax. It’s most likely all normal.

Hello Kinley, take a pregnancy test if you have missed your period after 7 days.
I had my period on december 24th ended the 28th 2017. I have sex so often any time. Can you tell me when the next period will be.
Hi Djenie.
If you have a 28 day cycle you should expect your period around January 21st.
