Hello, Welcome to iclinq.com. It is quite normal to have an increased amount of stringy discharge during and just prior to ovulation or your fertile days as you describe. Cramping and back pain can also be associated with ovulation, it is usually mild and temporary. 3 to 4 days before ovulation is the time to have intercourse every 1 to 2 days in order to maximize your chances of conceiving. If you miss your period, take a home pregnancy test.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. It can take up to 21 days to have bleeding after taking emergency contraception and although it is good that you took it very soon after unprotected intercourse, you should not use this as your primary method of birth control. It will cause cycle delays and unpredictability. Emergency contraception is not 100% effective, even when taken as directed. There is always a chance of pregnancy when you have unprotected sex.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. Any type of hormonal contraception may cause irregular bleeding that can be unpredictable in nature. If a birth control method is changed or if pills are missed, unscheduled bleeding can also occur. All birth control methods can fail, even with perfect use and unusual bleeding can also be a sign of pregnancy. A home pregnancy test is a good idea to make sure this is not the case.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand your concern. There are often many reasons why a couple cannot conceive. I did not see a semen analysis in your query or laboratory results (attachment removed to protect patient identity). If this has not been done, that would be the next step.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. It is possible to get pregnant after unprotected intercourse, but it also depends on where you are in your menstrual cycle and if they are regular. You are most likely to get pregnancy about two weeks before your period starts. The fact that you immediately took a high dose of hormonal contraception lowers your chances, although that is an off-label use for Yasmin. Depending on where you live, emergency contraception can be purchased over-the-counter and taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex, some women have this on hand just in case.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. There are different kinds of vaginal infections. The most common are yeast infections and bacterial vaginosis. They are easy to treat most of the time and should not alter your ability to get pregnant. These types of infections can also occur during pregnancy and can safely be treated at that time as well.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. The brown discharge should be temporary. I would recommend you have a period for the next couple of months and not skip the placebo pills temporarily to get back on track. If you have not missed any pills, pregnancy is very unlikely, but I would recommend a pregnancy test for added reassurance. If you have not had a recent test for STDs, like gonorrhea or chlamydia, I would also get tested for those, as these infections may have no symptoms and can cause spotting or bleeding after intercourse.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. Yes, what you are experiencing is very common, especially if you have been on the pills for a while. The birth control pill will actually thin the lining of the uterus over time, and many women barely have any bleeding during the placebo week, we sometimes call these pill periods as it is often just some very light spotting or brown discharge. It is ok if you do not have bleeding during the placebo week, as long as you have been taking your pills every day and you are sure you are not pregnant..
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. Moringa leaf extract does not contain any hormonal active ingredients that I can see from my research, just very high in vitamins and nutrients. This particular compound is not well studied as far as its effect on the menstrual cycle, so it is difficult to relate the changes in your cycle and bleeding pattern to that alone. The most likely cause of the spotting is that you did not ovulate this cycle and the lining of the uterus did not stabilize like it does after ovulation, which is why you are having light spotting. The partial three week fast likely put some stress on your body and may have contributed to the change in your cycle.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. You are anemic which can cause headache and blackouts in your vision. The consumption of those food products could be a sign of pica which is common in people with iron deficiency. It can take many weeks to build your iron levels back up with oral iron. If you are not pregnant, the delay in your menses is likely due to not ovulating with your previous cycle.
