I'm experiencing some issues with lubrication during sex, and it's started just in the last 15 days. My partner and I got married 6 months ago, and everything was fine until recently. It's a bit worrying, and I'm not sure what might be causing it or how to fix it. Could there be any specific reasons for this change, or should we try something specific to help?

It's common to experience lubrication issues due to stress, hormonal changes, or other factors. I recommend trying water-based lubricants for comfort and discussing this with your doctor to rule out any underlying causes, like hormonal imbalances or dryness. Open communication with your partner can also help reduce stress during intimacy.

Question

I'm really confused and worried after my sister took a pregnancy test on the doctor's advice because she missed her period. The test showed a very faint pink line on the control line and a prominent pink line on the test line. Does this mean the test is positive or negative? Also, she took the i-pill within 24 hours of having unprotected contact. Can you help me understand what this all means?

Question

I'm just wondering how long bleeding usually lasts after childbirth. At what point does it usually transition to just spotting?

Question

I'm a bit worried because I always get my period a week earlier than the last month's date, and it began on December 4th. I'm planning a trip to Rajasthan at the end of this month, and I'm pretty sure that's when I'll get my period again. The stomach pain I experience during that time is intense, and I really don't want it to ruin my vacation. Is it possible to prepone my period so that it happens earlier and doesn't interfere with my trip? I'm just looking for a way to enjoy my travel without the usual discomfort.
