Can drinking turmeric water really help prevent pregnancy or any pregnancy complications? I'm curious if it's something that could actually be effective or if there are any risks involved.

Turmeric water is not a reliable method for preventing pregnancy. It does not have any contraceptive properties. If you are looking for effective contraception, I recommend consulting with a healthcare provider to discuss suitable options such as birth control pills, condoms, or intrauterine devices.

I'm kinda worried and need some advice. So, on 19th October, me and my girlfriend got pretty close. It was the 22nd day of her cycle. We had some intimate contact, like rubbing our private parts, but there was no actual penetration or ejaculation. Maybe a little precum was involved. I'm just really concernedcould she possibly get pregnant from this?

While the risk of pregnancy from pre-ejaculate is low, it is not entirely zero, especially if sperm came into contact with the vaginal area. Since your girlfriend was on the 22nd day of her cycle, it was near her ovulation period, which can increase the chance of pregnancy. If you're concerned, it's advisable to take a home pregnancy test or consult a doctor.

I had unprotected sex with my fiance and took the ipill about 14 hours later. A couple of days after taking it, I experienced some vaginal bleeding. Should I be concerned about this, or is it a normal side effect of the ipill?

It's normal to experience vaginal bleeding a few days after taking the i-Pill, as it's a common side effect due to hormonal changes. This is usually not a cause for concern. However, if the bleeding is heavy or prolonged, or if you miss your next period, consider consulting a doctor to rule out other issues.
