I'm a bit worried because my last menstrual period started on October 21st. On October 28th, my partner and I didn't have actual intercourse, just some rubbing of my vagina over his penis, and he's sure he didnt ejaculate. Just to be safe, I took the ipill on October 30th within 48 hours. Now, Ive been experiencing spotting since November 4th. It started with a few drops, then got heavier and red on the 5th, became even more on the 6th but was brown, and today, November 7th, the bleeding is red. Does this mean there's no chance of pregnancy?

Yes no need to worry you are not pregnant

I'm a virgin, but I have a boyfriend, and we've been doing some other stuff together. I've noticed that when I get really excited by his touch or kiss, a whitish milky fluid that can sometimes be transparent comes out of my vagina. It also happens when I masturbate. After this, I feel kind of weak and get pain in my legs. Occasionally it also gets a bit itchy. Is it normal to have this kind of discharge along with the weakness?

The milky fluid you are describing could be normal vaginal discharge, which can vary in consistency and color throughout your menstrual cycle. However, if you are experiencing weakness, pain in your legs, and itching, it may be a sign of an underlying infection. I recommend you to consult a doctor for further evaluation and possible treatment.

We recently visited the doctor because my wife is pregnant. Two months ago, she had a miscarriage, and the doctor recommended Duphaston. I'm wondering if it's okay for her to take Jigest 10mg as a substitute for Duphaston 10mg. Is it safe for us to make this switch? Would love your advice on this.

Jigest 10mg Tablet and Duphaston 10mg Tablet are not exactly the same, although they are used for similar purposes. _Key Differences_ 1. _Active Ingredient_: Duphaston contains Dydrogesterone, while Jigest contains Micronized Progesterone. 2. _Hormonal Action_: Both medications are progestins, but they have slightly different hormonal actions and effects on the body. _Substitution Safety_ While Jigest can be used as a substitute for Duphaston in some cases, it's essential to consult your doctor before making any changes to your wife's medication regimen.
