Hey guys, I have recently started the DESOGESTREL pill but lately been having a period every 10-14 days for 5 days.

So.. husband and I had an incident tonight and we need a morning after pill….I’m curious what the side effects are. I’m scared to take it. I’m only 4 days from my period, so nothing is likely to come from this little hiccup, but we are being extra safe as this isn’t the right time for our family to grow.

Any gynecologist or anything of the sort here? I’d really appreciate it If I could get help with some answers

My daughter is just not really drinking at the moment, but she’s very very sore down there and her wee has a very strong smell to it. Most of the night she’s been crying in her sleep and very fidgety and kicking out. So I’m thinking a uti. What’s best to do as they will need to test her wee but she’s still in nappie...
