  1. Timing and Effectiveness:

    • The I pill is most effective when taken within 12 hours of unprotected sex, but can work up to 72 hours.
  2. Menstrual Changes:

    • Your period may be earlier or later. A delay of more than a week suggests taking a pregnancy test.
  3. Symptoms to Watch:

    • Side effects like nausea or spotting are normal and don’t indicate failure.
  4. Pregnancy Test:

    • If your period is over a week late, take a pregnancy test for confirmation.

    • If concerned or experiencing unusual symptoms, consult a doctor for advice.

Note: The I pill is a backup method, not for regular use. Consider discussing regular contraceptive options with your healthcare provider.

I'm 5 weeks pregnant and for the past 7 days, I've been experiencing brown discharge with my urine. The doctor I consulted gave me medications like Menoguard, Meganeuron OD, Dubagest, Duphaston, and also advised me to take the Eema HP 5000 injection twice a week for four weeks. I just started the medications and took one injection yesterday, but the brown discharge hasn't stopped. I'm really worried about my pregnancy.

Left ovarian cyst size is 6556mm according to my ultrasound report. I'm 28 and already have two kids with no plans for more in the future. Can this be treated with medicine or will I need surgery? I'm really worried about what to expect.
