I'm feeling a bit concerned and confused. Our gynecologist recommended this 'suggest 200' medication after a cervical scan showed my wife has a low-lying placenta at four months pregnant. I've read that taking this isn't usually advised during pregnancy. Could you shed some light on this? Is it safe, and should we be worried about potential effects?

Progesterone tablets are used in pregnancy to support embryonic implantation, prevent preterm labor and miscarriage, and manage pregnancy-related conditions, typically prescribed at 100-200 mg daily from week 2-12 of pregnancy.

I'm wondering if it's possible to lose virginity without having any blood spots. I didn't notice any blood after losing my virginity, but I got my period a few hours later since it was supposed to come around that time anyway. It's making me a bit confused. Can you help explain if blood spots aren't always present?

Yes, it's possible to lose virginity without any blood spots. The presence or absence of blood can vary based on individual anatomy, such as the elasticity of the hymen. Menstruation can also coincide with this, which may cause confusion, but it doesn't necessarily mean the hymen wasn't stretched or torn.
