Hey, I'm wondering if it's safe for me to take Orofer XT tonic for women. I've got low ferritin levels, but my hemoglobin is at 12. I came across a review that mentioned it could cause prolonged periods, and that kind of freaked me out. I don't have any symptoms at the moment. Can you help me figure out if it's okay for me to take it?

To prevent Rh incompatibility issues, administer Anti-D Immunoglobulin (Anti-D Ig) to the Rh-negative (O-) mother:
- 1st dose: 300 mcg at 28-30 weeks of gestation
- 2nd dose: 300 mcg within 72 hours of delivery (if baby is confirmed Rh-positive)
This treatment helps prevent the mother's immune system from reacting to the baby's Rh-positive blood cells.

View allI'm still a virgin and I'm really curious about what to expect the first time I have intercourse. Does it hurt a lot and is bleeding normal? If it does bleed, how long should I expect that to last? Also, I've noticed I can insert a finger into my vaginadoes that mean I don't have a hymen anymore? I'd love some clarity on all this.
First-time intercourse can be painful and may cause bleeding due to hymenal tearing, but this varies from person to person; bleeding, if it occurs, usually lasts a few hours to a few days; being able to insert a single finger into the vagina doesn't necessarily mean you don't have a hymen, as hymens come in different shapes and sizes, and some may be more elastic or flexible.

I'm feeling a bit anxious about something. My wife usually gets her period around the 25th of each month. We were intimate on August 10th, and she found out she was pregnant soon after. She took abortion pills on September 4th and got her period the next day. We were intimate again on September 26th. I'm just wondering, is there a possibility she could be pregnant again?
Since your wife had her period on 5th September after taking abortion pills on 4th September, it's likely that her fertility cycle reset. Given that she had sex on 26th September, which is close to her ovulation period (typically around the 14th day of the menstrual cycle), there is a possibility of pregnancy. However, it depends on her individual cycle and ovulation timing. It's advisable to take a pregnancy test or consult a doctor for more clarity.

I'm taking Novelon for 21 days as prescribed by my doctor. My gynecologist told me to come in on the first day of my period, but I'm wondering how long it'll take to see improvement with my PCOS. Could you let me know what to expect?
Novelon is often prescribed to help regulate menstrual cycles and manage symptoms of PCOS. It may take a few cycles (usually 2-3 months) to see noticeable improvements in hormonal balance and menstrual regularity. It's important to follow up with your gynecologist for further guidance and monitoring as your treatment progresses.
