If next cycle starts from 28 +/- 7 days from the first date of last menstrual cycle then it is considered a normal cycle.

I'm 6 weeks pregnant and dealing with really bad vomiting. My doctor recommended Pantop 40, but I'm not sure how to take it or if it's actually good for me. Can anyone share some insights or advice on this?

I'm taking regestrone 5mg tablets because my gynaecologist suggested them since my periods got delayed. We had unprotected sex and he ejaculated inside. I'm really worried about getting pregnant now. What are the chances of becoming pregnant while taking regestrone? Just so you know, I did a pregnancy test before starting regestrone and it came back negative.

Regestrone is a synthetic progestin that helps regulate the menstrual cycle. While it can help with delayed periods, it is not a contraceptive method. The chances of getting pregnant while on regestrone are still present, especially if unprotected intercourse occurs. It is important to use additional contraceptive methods to prevent pregnancy. If you are concerned about pregnancy, you may consider emergency contraception like Levonorgestrel 1.5mg as a precautionary measure within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse.
