I've got a bit of a concern about my period and Plan B. I had my period mid-July, from the 14th to the 18th, and then I had unprotected sex on the 19th. I took the emergency contraception pill on the 22nd. But then, oddly, I got my period again on the 28th, and it only lasted about 4 days. Is this normal? Could this be a side effect of taking Plan B?

-Yes, the bleeding you experienced on July 28 could be a side effect of the Plan B pill. Its common for emergency contraception to cause irregular bleeding or spotting, even if your period comes around the usual time.

I'm really worried because I missed my period for 6 days and found out I was pregnant from a test. I tried taking pills to stop the pregnancy, but I messed up and took the second pill 24 hours after the first one instead of waiting 48 hours like it said. I only had thin bleeding for about 2 days. Now, I tested again and it's negative. Could you please help me understand what I should do to get my full period back?

I'm 9 weeks pregnant and would prefer not to have a surgical abortion. I'm thinking about taking the abortion pill, but not sure how to go about it correctly. Could you guide me on how to take the tablets?

You should consult a gynecologist and opt for medical termination of pregnancy. You will be prescribed an MTP kit, or Mefrin Kit.

I'm a bit concerned because my period is late by 12 days. I've been taking apple cider vinegar before bed every night. Could this be causing the delay? What should I do about it?
