I'm worried about the side effects of taking birth control pills. How long after taking them can I find out if I'm pregnant?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Common adverse effects of contraceptive pills include nausea, breast tenderness, mood changes, weight gain, and increased risk of blood clots, stroke, and high blood pressure; to confirm pregnancy, a home pregnancy test (HPT) can detect hCG hormone levels 7-10 days after conception, with accuracy increasing 2-3 days after a missed period, while a blood test can detect pregnancy 6-8 days after conception.

View allI'm in my first month of pregnancy, and my doctor prescribed Ecosprin 75 for me, which I find a bit confusing since I don't have any heart issues. I do have hypothyroidism, though, and I'm currently taking a 100mg Electroxin tablet. I'm also breastfeeding my older child, so I'm a bit worried because my doctor hasn't changed my thyroid medication dosage. Could you help me understand why this might be the case?
Ecosprin 75 is often prescribed in early pregnancy to help prevent blood clotting and improve blood flow to the placenta, even if you don't have heart problems. As for your thyroid medication, your doctor may feel your current dosage is still sufficient for both pregnancy and breastfeeding, but they will monitor your thyroid levels and adjust the dose if necessary.

I'm just a bit concerned, could you help me out? My wife just had her regular scan, and the doctor says everything seems fine. The baby is now weighing in at 3.1kg, and she's just started her 9th month of pregnancy. Back in the beginning of the 8th month, the baby was 1.7kg. Is this weight of 3.1kg okay for a normal delivery? The doc mentioned the presentation is cephalic and that the liquid level is adequate. Just want to make sure everything's on track!

I'm looking for advice on safe ways to prevent pregnancy aside from using condoms. Could you share some options that are completely risk-free and safe?
Aside from condoms, the most reliable and safe methods to avoid pregnancy include hormonal birth control (like birth control pills, patches, or implants), intrauterine devices (IUDs), and permanent solutions like sterilization. It's important to consult your doctor to choose the method best suited to your health and lifestyle.
