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 worried because I've missed my period after taking the i-pill three months ago. I did get my period twice after taking it, but now Ive skipped it in December. Could you please suggest any medications or withdrawal treatments that might help regulate my cycle, like it used to be before I took the i-pill?

You can consider taking Regestrone or Deviry to induce your periods and regulate your menstrual cycle.

I'm 30 weeks pregnant and just found out that my amniotic fluid index is 20.8 cm. I'm a bit worried if this is normal. My blood sugar levels and glucose tolerance test were normal, and I don't have an RH negative blood type. Could there be a reason for this high fluid level? And, is there anything I can do to reduce the excess fluid?
