I'm kind of worried because I had unprotected sex on March 20th and got nervous so I took an ipill within 12 hours, even though he didnt finish inside me. Then the next day we had unprotected sex again, and I took another ipill. My period was supposed to start on March 25th, but now its late, and I havent had any bleeding, even though Ive read that you might get a heavy flow after taking ipills. I'm really scared. What should I do?

The delay in your period could be a side effect of the pill. I recommend waiting for a few more days for your period to arrive. If you do not get your period after a week or so, you can consider taking a pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy. In the meantime, try to stay calm and avoid stress as it can also affect your menstrual cycle.

I'm a bit worried because I had a mammography test about three years back, which showed a fibroadenoma of 1.8 cm. I got married last year, but the tumor is still there. What should I do now?

Fibroadenomas are typically benign and often dont require treatment unless they cause symptoms or grow. Since your tumor has remained stable at 1.8 cm for 3 years, it's generally safe to monitor it. However, I recommend a follow-up ultrasound or consultation with a specialist to assess any changes and discuss your options for management.

I recently got an ultrasound and found out that my ovaries are enlarged with lots of small cysts around the edges. One of my ovaries is 8mm3 in volume and the other is 10mm3. How serious is this? Is it something I should be worried about or need medical attention for? My periods have been on time and my thyroid levels are normal, so I'm a bit confused about what this means for my health.

I'm wondering if it's safe to have sex while my wife is 18 weeks pregnant. Some of my friends say its fine, but I want to make sure. Can you let me know if there are any risks or things we should be careful about at this stage?
