What Causes Delayed Periods Along With Excessive Vaginal Discharge>
You might not need any contraception pills
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear ,welcome to healthcare magic.I understand your concern.
In my opinion 29th day is a safe period.So you need not take contraceptive pills.
The symptoms of early pregnancy are nausea,vomitings,breast tenderness and frequency of urination.
Thick white discharge if associated with itching might suggest vaginal infection.
You might do a urine pregnancy test to confirm.Do the test with early morning urine sample.
I need to know:-
1) Are your cycles regular?
Check for any stress you are facing because stress also delays period sometimes.
If your periods are regular 29 th day comes under safe period and you need not worry.
as period is delayed i suggest you strongly to consider doing urine pregnancy test before starting any birth control pills for next cycle.

In irregular periods we cant predict the ovulation
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear ,I got your information.
In my opinion as your periods are irregular we cannot predict the ovulation.So due to this we cannot know whether 29 th is safe period or not.
So you might go for unwanted 72 or ipill .Dont worry you can take the pill within 72 hours of intercourse.
You can count the hours from the time of your intercourse.
And I sincerely advise you to practice safe sex practice like using a condom.
You are just 18 years you need to be very careful regarding sex.Because if safe sex practices are not followed there is increased chances of sexually transmitted infections.
From your information I found that you have participated intercourse for first time.Vaginal bleeding after hymenal tear is not seen in all.Bleeding may occur but it goes unnoticed most of the times as it will be in less quantity.
White discharge if associated with itching suggests vaginal infection.But if not associated with itching and foul smelling it is not significant.
You might need to know the causes of irregular periods like:-
1)thyroid abnormalities.
2)polycystic ovarian disease(PCOD)
3)Any other hormonal abnormality.
Consult the gynaecologist and rule out the cause and take treatment .
Dont worry with apt treatment cycles will become regular.
Hope this satisfies your query.
Feel free to ask any more queries.
Good luck....Dr.srilatha
Pineapple juice does not prevent pregnancy
Detailed Answer:
Hello there, I understand your concern. I got your query.
In my opinion as we cannot predict the safe period due to the irregular periods the emergency contraception with ipill or unwanted 72 is the option.
Emergency contraception may prevent the pregnancy upto 80%.
The side effects might be there with the pill but it is the option for this situation.Dont be scared.
Being a professional gynecologist I can tell you that pineapple juice does not prevent the pregnancy.
If you are thinking white discharge a symptom of pregnancy ,symptoms of pregnancy dont start this soon.Symptoms of pregnancy start around 1 month after conception.So you need not worry about the discharge.
Hope this satisfies your query.
Good luck...Dr.srilatha
you might go for I-pill
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,I understand your concern.
Urine pregnancy test wont be positive this early.
The urine pregnacy test gives correct results if done a week after missed period.
Early diagnosis of pregnancy is done by RADIOIMMUNOASSAY(RIA) by blood sample.
This is positive about 10 days after ovulation.
But the missed period and ovulation are known in case of regular cycles.
As your cycles are irregular we cannot predict them.So better go for ipill.
As ipill can be taken within 72 hrs and you have time till dec 2nd midnight to take.
so relax dont worry.
Best regards...dr.srilatha.
1) I took I-pill after your consent at around 8.15pm. Tell me one thing. Since my periods is delayed by 9 days already, will intake of I-pill delay periods further? If so then by how many days? ( Tell me an estimated date)
2) Incase it gets delayed by more than the concerned concerned no.of days , then what should be the next step?
3) I-pill is to be swallowed with water. Is there any other thing required to do after its intake?
ipill might delay your periods
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,I understand your concern.
In my opinion ipill might delay the period by 7 to 10 days.
Ipill acts by :-
1)Delaying ovulation. OR
2)Inhibiting fertilisation.
The ipill acts by delaying ovulation and therefore period is delayed.
The delay depends on whether the ipill is taken before or after the ovulation ie.,first or second half of menstrual cycle.
As yours are irregular cycles we cant predict ovulation and in turn the date of expected period.
So sorry dear I cannot tell you the expected period date.
Yes ipill need to be swallowed with water.
No specific precautions needed after taking ipill.
If there is no period even after 2 weeks you might need to do a urine pregnancy test.
And further treatment depends on the result of the test.
Ipill delays the period and prevents pregnancy.
Ipill might have minor sideeffects sometimes like nausea,headache,fatigue,breast tenderness,pain abdomen.But they usually subside in a couple of days.
So stay cool and relaxed.
Feel free to ask any more questions I will be there to answer you.
Good luck...Dr.srilatha
2. Incase my prenancy test is positive what should be the next step.
3. Apart from using condoms and keeping my menstrual cycle dates in mind b4 intercourse can we take any other medicine? If so den please suggest me a name and the course of intake of that medicine.
I know its an online forum but it would be nice if I could speak to you telephonically about this which would clear my doubts. I stay away from my family and feeling scared . Plss help :'(
I-can is a good brand
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,welcome to healthcare magic.
I understand your concern.
In my opinion "I can" is a good one.The other good brands are preganews,Velocit.
If the urine pregnancy test is positive you might need to take abortion pills under doctor supervision.
Pregnancy < 6 weeks can be terminated medically.
Pregnancy > 6 weeks might be terminated surgically.
Contact through phone might be possible on this platform.I informed the healthcare team regarding that.You too can find information about it on the site.
Apart from condom and knowing safe and unsafe period there are other contraception methods.
The choice depends on marital status and
any children already .
For unmarried woman -
combined hormonal pills the failure rate is less of all contraceptives.
For married woman with one or more children-
1) combined hormonal pills and
2)Intrauterine contraceptive device(IUCD).
But the hormonal pills are associated with sideeffects like weight gain,
headache,nausea.You have to take the pill daily with a gap of 1 week in each cycle.
Condom is not effective as pills but its advantages are -
1)No sideeffects like pills.
2)Protects from sexually transmitted infections.(STD).'
Just relax .Stay cool.Do not take tension.
Hope this satisfies your query.
Good luck...regards
