i took an emergency contraceptive pill (postinor 1) and had sex about an hour later. is there a possibility the pill didn't work?,could i still get pregnant?. please i need answers, thanks?

Question

I had unplanned sex without precaution for 5-10 min. No discharge occur in duration & i taken emergency contraceptive pill. Still i can get pregnant?

Answer 1

Emergency contraception like "Postinor 1" are essentially birth control pills, and are NOT 100% protective against pregnancy. If your period is delayed, wait until it is over 7 days "late" and obtain a serum HCG test to be certain about pregnancy.

Answer 2

Yes, it's great.: It's best to taper off the zoloft (sertraline) and your doctor has an excellent plan.

Answer 3

Zoloft (sertraline): You did not mention the dose, but if your doctor recommends it, u should be fine. Just inform your doctor of any changes, and congratulations in advance.

Answer 4

No: Tapering off SSRI antidepressants is not done by stretching out the time between doses, it's done by gradually decreasing the daily dose. Taking a Zoloft (sertraline) (of any usual dose, say 50 or 100 mg) every 3 days may lead to a cycle of repeated withdrawals 1-2 days after each dose. (This doesn't apply to Prozac due to its long half-life, but it does to Zoloft (sertraline).) Talk to your doc about taking less daily.

Answer 5

The loose skin : Should be trimmed away, the blister cleaned, then dressed with an antibiotic ointment and then covered with a band aid. It will take a few days, but the soreness will gradually decrease as the skin under the blister dries out and toughens up.

Answer 6

If you can....: Gentley remove the hanging piece of skin: do so but be careful not to pull it and create a bigger sore/wound. Apply antibiotic cream or ointment and a bandaid. If still troublesome, see a podiatrist.

Answer 7

Off load area: Apply a topical antibiotic off load the blister area so that the shoe does not hit the wound. We like the skin to stay on but if it is just hanging i would remove it.

Answer 8

Fast Healing: The real question is what not to do that slows down healing. Avoid using alcohol, peroxide, hibiclens, betadine, and bleach solutions. Inflammation ( red, hot, swollen, tender) is important to healing so anti-inflammatories (motrin, advil) are bad. Cover the area with a clean dressing changed every other day and protected from trauma. Antibiotics do not help healing unless it is truly infected.

Answer 9

Doctor can evaluate: For new onset of asthma symptoms in an adult, he can see and follow-up with his primary care doctor. If symptoms are difficult to get rid of, or are unusual, the patient can see an allergy & asthma specialist, and/or see a pulmonologist (lung doctor). Pulmonary function tests and allergy tests can be helpful when looking for the best treatments. For bad symptoms, the E.R. Is the place to go to.

Answer 10

It's OK: There is insufficient evidence of any harmful effect other than a small risk of skin infection.

Answer 11

Acupuncture with: Electrical stimulation is fine while pregnant. The acupuncturist will know the specific points which should not be needled in a pregnant woman. Congratulations.

Answer 12

Check a preg test : Over the counter pregnancy tests are cheap and reliable. Go do one and then you will know and you won't have to worry about it any more. If you don't want to be pregnant see your doctor for effective birth control.
