I had unprotected sex on the 15th of April and pull out method on the 20th… ovulated on the 21st and then had a shortened but “real” feeling menstral cycle on the 5th of May. I feel sick all the time and have headaches. Can I be pregnant?

There is a chance you can be pregnant. Therefore, you should take a pregnancy test – most of which are over 99% accurate.

I’ve been having headaches/migraines for about 10 years(26 years old now). The frequency of them vary from anywhere between once every few months to twice a week. I’ve gone to several doctors and neurologists and have tried all sorts of migraine medications with not much success. I have not had any tests run such as an MRI or CATSCAN. I have kept a journal to try to find what may trigger these: food, lack of sleep, stress, caffeine, menstral cycle, etc. I have noticed that the symptoms are almost always the same. I normally wake up with them. I have no sensitivity to light, however I’m very sensitive to sound. The pain is always in my left eye brow, my left eye, behind my left eye, and bone of my left eye socket, and the top of both the bottom and top of my teeth (only on my left side). I also get nauseaus and vomit with them. I am planning on going to a dentist now because I am thinking now that it may be TMJ. I have been diagnosed with PCOS and anovulation. At first I thought it may be related to hormonal imbalances. Any suggestions I would greatly appreciate.

Your symptoms are indeed consistent with migraines even without sensitivity to light. Keeping a journal of triggers/activities is an excellent way to determine the cause of your migraines. A CT scan may not be helpful but if your physician suspects an intracranial lesion, an MRI may be the best test.

Hello I am 19 years old I had sexual relationship with my boyfriend about 8 days ago it was not that safe because first we started without a comdon but then he put it on. Next day, I took the plan b pill the morning after and I want my period to come because I have been very very nervous. I can not sleep or think of anything else than that. My period is supposedly going to come in may 24 or 25 but I heard that provera can make my period come faster and sooner is that true? provera 10mg for ten days?

Plan B is one of the most effective methods of emergency contraceptive. That you are also on provera makes pregnancy even less likely. Provera can indeed cause your period to come sooner but every patient metabolizes the hormones differently so it is difficult to say when your period will come.

This is regarding my son aged 7 years (normal built with 24 Kgs weight), who falls sick with fever, cold etc. almost every month or two months, every time he was been being prescribed antibiotics, muco / bronco dialators, medamol, etc and some times steriod like prednisolone also (for 3 or 5 days), blood test, X ray gave normal results, and everytime he was diagnoised for viral infection by pediatricians. One more doctor whom I had to consult because regular pediatrician was not available, told that he needs strength and immunity has to be improved and prescribed medicines such as Longefine DS (buclizine hydrochloride), neogadine, fortuss-B, Allerbay for three months, which has been administered for two months and he seems to be improving and even though he had mild cold etc it went off on its own without the necessity of antibiotics, earlier it never used to subside before antibiotics were administered. May I kindly be informed whether these medicines are safe, or there any side effects, whether this method of treatment is OK. I am asking these things because normally we cannot talk to doctor all these things when we go for consultation due to long queues of patients waiting, hence I have opted for this website for clearing my doubts.

Longefine DS is a brand name for the generic drug buclizine – an antihistamine used to decrease mucous production and associated symptoms of allergic reactions or seasonal allergies. Side effects are generally mild and include drowsiness, fatigue, nausea, constipation, insomnia, depression, dry mouth, urinary retention, abdominal pain, weight gain.

Hey, I am cunrrently on the contraceptive implant and for complicated reasons I cannot get it removed. However I want to get pregnant, is there any way I can boost my chances to get pregnant?

You should have your implanted contraceptive removed before attempting to get pregnant. The implanted contraceptive slowly releases hormones into your blood stream. There is a chance you may become pregnancy after the hormones are exhausted, but it is highly advised that you remove the implant. Each case is different, but most physicians would . . . → Read More: Hey, I am cunrrently on the contraceptive implant and for complicated reasons I cannot get it removed.
