Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
Modus is medroxyprogesterone. This has many uses and when given for 5 days, I presume it could be either due to postponement of menstruation or absent period.
Medroxyprogesterone has got lots of side effects; one of them is nausea. It is seen in almost 40%-60% of the patients - so your nausea is probably due to modus. Apart from this it can also cause other side effects like, headache, irregular vaginal bleeding, jaundice, swelling of body parts, spotting or breakthrough bleeding, breast tenderness, dyspepsia, low back pain, etc. Side effects can last 7-10 days after stoppage of drugs.
So all your symptoms are probably related to modus; rarely may be due to fore coming menstruation.
In order to predict a close cause, I want to ask you few questions-
1. When was your last menstrual cycle?
2. Why was modus prescribed to you?
3. After your last cycle till today, were you involved in an unprotected sexual intercourse?
Awaiting your reply

Dr Sourav Ganguly

i had an abortion on 5 th XXXXXXX till then i did not get my periods, on 14 th july we had an intercourse that is why i am very worried
we used condom but what happened is some semen came out from back side of the condom while taking out and some even was present outside of me immediately i took i pill within 30 min from intercourse
and had an other one after 8 hours
on sunday that is 15 at 2pm i had my ovulation test and its completely negative from ovulation predictor kit the next four days also i got negative only.and my pregnancy test till today is negative
i heard that the sperm are good swimmers they can swim from outside to inside
one more question is after ovulation till how many days the lh surge will be to its peak
it will go away completely after ovulation or it will show positive for a couple of days even after ovulation
two days prior ovulation it will show positive but after ovulation till how many days it will show positive

Hi,
Thanks for posting query,
It generally takes about 4-6 weeks from abortion for women to get their period. From your description it understood that you had sexual intercourse during a period of amenorrhea on 14.07.12 and you took 5 tablets of modus and the last dose is on 18.07.12.So please wait till 28.07.12 as menstruation should occur maximally within 7-10 days after last dose. If you do not get your period, please do a serum beta hCG level. If elevated, this is suggestive of pregnancy.
It is extremely unlikely that you’re pregnant since you did take the iPill later. In any case, the dose of iPill is 1 tablet to be taken within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse. 2 tablets are not needed.
So please consult your gynecologist after urine test for further opinion.
Ovulation usually occurs within 12-48 hours (average 36 hours) after LH surge.
After ovulation, LH surge result in test kit will show positive anywhere from a couple of days to several. Some women continue to show positive until their period comes. Typically, it goes back to negative after a couple of days.
Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.

i started taking modus pills form last three days
how will the i pill work that is i had taken i-pill on 14 july but if i have to ovulate somewhere around 15 or 16 or 17 will the i-pill stop it because the sperm will stay inside for 7 days or so
but in my case i had taken i-pill before, that is after 2days of intercourse but still i turned out pregnant and i had a baby also and next time again after 12 hours again that to did help me, now will it help me
after how many days will the hcg levels increase to confirm pregnancy
as my lh showed completely negative on sunday that means my chance of ovulation at the time of intercourse is less
that is after ovulation the lh surge wii be definitely high and will be shown on the kit for the next couple of days for sure
it will not go away completely in hours

Hi,
Thanks for query,
It is unfortunate that I pill didn't help in the earlier instances. Failure rates of ipill is less than 5% which is directly proportional to time of taking the pill and use of some medications like antibiotics. They are most effective when taken within 12 hours to maximum 24 hours. In your earlier cases, if you had taken the pills later on, that may be the reason for failure.
Anyway, do not worry. This time I pill will surely help you.
The pregnancy can be confirmed by a urine pregnancy test only after 1 week after you miss your period.
If you want to get it confirmed earlier, get a serum beta hCG done 2 days before you misses your period. A level >10 mIU/ml is suggestive of pregnancy.
Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help

Hi,

Please remember Ipills do not stop ovulation, it has no relation with ovulation. It works by interfering the implantation of fetus.
Urine test for beta HCG do not get any level. It is just color change.
The pregnancy can be confirmed by a urine pregnancy test only after 1 week after you miss your period.
If you want to get it confirmed earlier, get a serum beta hCG done 2 days before you misses your period. A level >10 mIU/ml is suggestive of pregnancy.
