Question

I'm thinking about having a second child and really hope for a baby boy to complete our family. My first child is a lovely 3.5-year-old girl. Is there any advice or methods to help conceive a boy?

While it's not possible to guarantee the gender of your baby naturally, some methods like timing intercourse around ovulation or choosing specific positions may slightly influence the odds. However, it's important to remember that the most accurate way to select a baby's gender is through medical procedures like IVF with genetic testing, though these come with ethical and legal considerations.

Question

I'm a 26-year-old woman with a 10-month-old daughter, and I've noticed something that's been bothering me. About a year and a half ago, my sexual desire started to gradually fade, and now it feels like it has completely disappeared. My husband and I can go months without being intimate, and honestly, it doesnt really bother me. When we do have intimate moments, its more out of obligation because I feel guilty about making him wait so long. I'm worried about why this is happening and wondering if there's something I should be doing to bring back my desire. Could there be an underlying issue I need to address?

Question

I'm in my seventh month of pregnancy, and my ayurvedic doctor recommended I take Bresol. Is it safe to use during this time? I'm a bit unsure and would love some guidance.

Question

I'm trying to get pregnant, and I've missed my period for over 25 days now. My last period was on January 16th. I did both a sonography and a urine pregnancy test, and both came back negative. My doctor suggested I take Deviry tablets, 10mg, two tabs a day, but there's still no sign of my period. This has never happened to me before. Could I still be pregnant somehow? I'm also starting to feel really nauseous and weak. What could be going on?
