I'm really worried because after having sex with my girlfriend, I gave her Unwanted 72. An hour later, she started having a headache. She felt better the next day, but then in the afternoon, her head began hurting again, this time not as bad. However, by nighttime, the pain got really intense. Could this be a side effect of the pill? What should I do to help her feel better?

Your girlfriend may be experiencing a side effect of Unwanted 72 emergency contraceptive pill. Headache is a common side effect of this medication. To help alleviate the headache, she can take a pain reliever such as Paracetamol (e.g. Tylenol) 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain relief. It is important to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest. If the headache persists or becomes severe, it would be advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I'm trying to understand if the semen is actually entering during intercourse because my wife says she doesn't feel it inside, and sometimes it comes out. She's also experiencing some pain when I try to insert it. How can we tell if the semen is actually getting in?

To improve the chances of conception, you can try using a sperm-friendly lubricant to help the semen stay inside the vagina. Additionally, you can try different positions such as placing a pillow under your wife's hips after intercourse to help tilt the pelvis and encourage the semen to travel towards the cervix. It's also important to ensure that both you and your wife are in good health, eating a balanced diet, and avoiding substances like tobacco and excessive alcohol which can affect fertility. If you continue to have concerns, it may be helpful to consult with a fertility specialist for further guidance.

I'm really worried about the results of my abdominal ultrasound. It says the uterus is bulky and anteverted, with an endometrium that's thickened to 11 mm. I'm not sure what that means for me. Also, while it mentions myometrial echoes are normal, I'm concerned about what that might imply. The report says my right ovary is 22x15 mm and the left is 18x16 mm, with normal echotexture for both, but I'm still anxious about these measurements. There's also a note about no free fluid in the cul-de-sac. Could you help me understand what all this means and if I should be worried?

I'm 17 days post-ovulation and my beta hCG level is 1000. Could this mean I'm expecting twins or triplets, or is it more likely just a single pregnancy? I was treated with ovulation induction this cycle and my pregnancy test came back positive. Could you provide some insight into what to expect?
