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've been diagnosed with an ovarian hemorrhagic cyst and I'm really worried can this be treated with medication or will I need surgery? I'd like to understand my options better

Hemorrhagic ovarian cysts are often treated conservatively, meaning they may resolve on their own within a few menstrual cycles, especially if they are small and asymptomatic. However, if they become large, cause pain, or lead to complications like rupture, surgery might be necessary

I'm really confused right now. My period is two weeks late, but every pregnancy test I've taken says I'm not pregnant. I don't even have any usual pregnancy symptoms, just a missed period. What could be going on here? Should I be worried, and what should I do next?

If your period is 14 days late and pregnancy tests are negative, consider waiting a few more days and retaking the test, then if still negative, consult a gynecologist to rule out other causes of missed periods

I'm really worried because on February 10th, my boyfriend and I had non-penetrative sexual activity where he rubbed his penis on my vagina, and there was some pre-cum and possibly a bit of ejaculation. I read online that you can potentially get pregnant in this way. My last period was on January 23rd, and I'm feeling anxious and stressed that these activities might have made me pregnant. I've also been experiencing some early pregnancy symptoms like burping, gas, constipation, pain in my nipple area, and acne. Could this mean I'm pregnant? Is it really possible to get pregnant from what we did?
