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'm a bit concerned because I've been taking Folligrow tablets for my hair for about two weeks, and my period, which was due on March 1st, still hasn't started. I'm wondering if taking Folligrow might be causing this delay. Could the tablets be affecting my menstrual cycle?

I'm wondering if there's a good chance of getting pregnant after undoing a family planning operation. My sister is thinking about going through this and we're both a bit anxious about what to expect in terms of pregnancy possibilities. Can you give us some guidance on the likelihood of conceiving again?

Reversing a family planning operation, such as a tubal ligation, is possible for some women, but it's difficult, expensive, and often doesn't lead to pregnancy. The procedure is called a tubal reversal or tubal reanastomo.. Surgery to reverse sterilization is possible for only some womenthose who have enough fallopian tube left.The pregnancy rate following tubal ligation reversal varies from 50% to 80%.
