I recently had unprotected sex and needed an emergency pill, but I couldn't find i pill or Unwanted 72 in Hyderabad. Are these pills banned everywhere now? The pharmacist offered me something called i doz 72 instead. Is this the same thing as the others? Is it safe to take?

i-Pill and Unwanted-72 are not banned in India, but availability issues may occur; i-Doz 72, containing levonorgestrel 1.5mg, is an alternative emergency contraceptive pill, considered safe and effective when taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex, with similar efficacy to i-Pill and Unwanted-72.

I recently took the I pill and I'm a bit worried about what to expect. How many days might my period be delayed because of taking it? Also, will this change my menstruation cycle permanently to the new dates? I'm curious and a little concerned about how this could affect my cycle.

it may delay 3 to 6 days...but it will not alter duration of cycles...if your periods are delayed further consult obg specialist to rule out pregnancy

I've consulted with you a couple of times about my PCOS and irregular periods. You mentioned using devire and krimson 35. Could you guide me on when exactly I should start taking krimson 35 in relation to my period cycle? I've been a bit confused about timing it right.

Papaya and Pregnancy Prevention _No Scientific Evidence_ There is no scientific evidence to support the claim that papaya can prevent pregnancy after regular sex. _Papaya's Effect on Fertility_ Papaya contains an enzyme called papain, which may have anti-fertility effects in large quantities. However, eating papaya after sex will not prevent pregnancy. _Effectiveness of Post-Coital Papaya Consumption_ Eating papaya 20 hours after sex is unlikely to have any effect on preventing pregnancy. Sperm can survive inside the female reproductive tract for up to 5 days, and ovulation can occur at any time. _Reliable Contraception Methods_ To prevent pregnancy, consider using reliable contraception methods, such as: 1. Condoms 2. Birth control pills 3. Intrauterine devices (IUDs) 4. Emergency contraception (e.g., Plan B) _What to Do Next_ If your girlfriend is concerned about pregnancy, she can: 1. Take a pregnancy test after 3-4 weeks. 2. Consider emergency contraception (if within 72 hours of sex). 3. Consult a healthcare provider for guidance on contraception and reproductive health.
