I've been in a bit of a dilemma. So, I had unprotected sex with my husband on the third day of my period and decided to take the i-pill just to be safe. Now, my period is way overdue; it's been about 15 days late. I went to see a gynecologist, and she prescribed Meprate 10mg. But I'm unsure about what to do next. Should I just wait it out and see if my period comes naturally, even though it's delayed? Or should I go ahead and take the Meprate to kickstart my cycle? I'm also concerned if there might be any side effects if I start taking it. Will I end up having to rely on medication to get my period from now on? Could really use some advice here.

Misses periods is the common sideeffects of ipill. Don't take meprate as it would thicken ur internal lining which has already thickened by ipill causing further periods problem. Just wait u would eventually get ur periods as ipill has got a high success rate

View allI'm a bit worried about the beta hCG levels during pregnancy. What should the levels be in a normal pregnancy compared to an ectopic pregnancy? Also, can beta hCG be detected in urine if someone has an ectopic pregnancy around 8 weeks?
In a normal pregnancy, beta hCG levels typically double every 48 hours, with average levels ranging from 50-300 mIUmL at 4-5 weeks, 1000-5000 mIUmL at 6-7 weeks, and 10,000-100,000 mIUmL at 8-12 weeks. In contrast, ectopic pregnancies often have lower and more slowly rising beta hCG levels, typically below 3000 mIUmL. As for detecting beta hCG in urine at 8 weeks of ectopic pregnancy, it's unlikely, as urine tests are generally less sensitive than blood tests, and ectopic pregnancies often have lower beta hCG levels.

My mom needs open abdominal surgery to remove fibroids but our insurance only covers a general 6-bed ward in a well-known Mumbai hospital. Would she be better off staying there or going for a twin-sharing room in a smaller hospital? I'm worried about her comfort and recovery.
I can understand your concern. With your health policy documents comes a document in which all the affiliated hospital names are listed. Whichever you find the best, you can go there and get it operated. Any gynecologist would be able to perform this surgery. Therefore you have to consult a gynecologist of your choice and a hospital of your choice as per your insurance and then consult there.
