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've been really stressed since I had sex on July 10 and July 26 with different partners, both times using protection. The first guy finished inside the condom, and the second didnt finish at all. Im now 40 days late on my period and starting to worry. I took three pregnancy tests on August 11, 29, and 31, and all came back negative. This week, Ive been dealing with a nasty fever, cough, and severe headache for three days. The fever was pretty bad for the first two days but got better on the third. I also felt pretty nauseous then, almost threw up a couple of times, but didnt actually puke. Plus, I had this mild pain in my left breast earlier in the morning, but it later disappeared. Im wondering if theres a chance I could be pregnant or if its just stress from my hectic lifestyle. Would love some advice here.
Based on the details you shared, including the use of protection, the negative pregnancy tests, and the timing, its highly unlikely that you are pregnant. The delay in your period may be due to stress, illness, or hormonal fluctuations. If your period doesnt arrive soon, consider consulting a doctor for further evaluation. Take care!

Is it safe to get the second dose of Covaxin while I'm on my period, or should I wait for a few days?
It's safe to take the second dose of Covaxin during your period, as there are no contraindications. You can go ahead with the vaccination without delay. However, if you're feeling unwell or have heavy symptoms, it's okay to wait a few days and take it when you're more comfortable.
