I've had my period twice in the span of 15 days. Honestly, I haven't done anything different with my diet or daily routine. I've been on some meds for about a month and a half now, though. Back in October, I was expecting my period around the 28th, but it showed up on the 18th. And now it's here again on November 3rd. The medications I'm currently taking include Indocap, Pantocid, Defcort, and Chekbak D3. Why might my period be so early, and what should I do about it?

The early period could be due to the medications you are taking. Indocap is a brand name for Indomethacin, which can sometimes affect menstrual cycles. Pantocid is a brand name for Pantoprazole, which may also have an impact on menstrual regularity. Defcort is a brand name for Deflazacort, which can sometimes cause hormonal changes leading to irregular periods. Chekbak D3 is a supplement containing Vitamin D3, which is not known to directly affect menstrual cycles. I recommend consulting with your healthcare provider to discuss the possibility of these medications affecting your menstrual cycle. They may suggest adjusting the dosage or switching to alternative medications if necessary.

I had unprotected sex on the 9th day after my period ended. My cycle is usually between 25 to 28 days. Should I consider taking an emergency contraceptive pill like the I pill? I'm a bit worried.

I took Primolut N for 10 days twice daily to delay my periods, and I've stopped it for the past 3 days. When can I expect my periods to start again? Also, I have a thyroid problem, so is that going to affect anything?

After stopping Primolut N, you can expect your periods to resume within 3-7 days, but this timeframe may vary due to individual hormonal responses and your pre-existing thyroid condition, which can affect menstrual regularity; monitor your body's response and consult your gynecologist if your periods are delayed beyond 7-10 days or if you experience any unusual symptoms.

I'm curious about what to expect after taking Crina NCR 15. If someone uses it once daily for 5 days, how long until they should expect their period to start? Also, could you explain how Crina NCR 15 actually works?

Crina NCR 15, containing norethisterone 15mg, is a progesterone-only pill that can help regulate menstrual cycles; when taken once daily for 5 days, it can induce withdrawal bleeding, which is often mistaken for a period; typically, withdrawal bleeding occurs 2-4 days after finishing the 5-day course, so you may expect bleeding around 7-9 days after starting Crina NCR 15.
