View allI'm really curious about whether oral contact with the vagina is actually healthy or if it might cause any health problems. Can engaging in this activity lead to any kind of issues?
Engaging in oral sex, including vaginal stimulation, is generally safe if both partners are healthy, consenting, and practice good hygiene. However, it can increase the risk of transmitting sexually transmitted infections (STIs) if proper precautions, such as using protection, are not taken. Maintaining personal hygiene and open communication with your partner is important for overall health and well-being.

OR I'm counting my pregnancy weeks from January 30th how much time do I have before abortion pills or surgery aren't an option anymore?
If your last period was on January 30th, you generally have until approximately 11 weeks from that date to consider medication abortion (abortion pills). Surgical abortion options, like suction aspiration, are usually available up to 13 weeks. Some clinics may extend the timeframe for medication abortion beyond 11 weeks, depending on their policies
