View allI'm a bit worried because I haven't had sex with my boyfriend, but we were cuddling and humping naked from June 3rd to June 6th, and his sperm ended up on my lower region. We started worrying about pregnancy, so I took Unwanted 72 on June 7th. We did a urine test on June 8th, and it was negative. My last period ended on May 10th, so I expected my next period around June 7th or 8th. But now it's June 16th, and I still haven't gotten my period. Can taking Unwanted 72 delay my period?
While nipple stimulation can trigger the release of the hormone prolactin, which plays a role in milk production, it typically requires pregnancy or recent childbirth to induce lactation. Without a pregnancy, prolonged nipple stimulation alone may not result in milk production, though it can have temporary effects like increased sensitivity or small amounts of fluid secretion. It's important to consult with a healthcare provider for more personalized advice.

I'm 29 and married, dealing with PCOD. I'm not on any treatment at the moment, but my periods have been irregular and I haven't had one since February. I'm trying to lose weight but haven't seen much progress. I'm feeling really stressed about all this. What should I do?
Considering your PCOD, irregular periods, and weight loss struggles, consult a gynecologist or an endocrinologist to discuss a comprehensive treatment plan, which may include hormonal medications, fertility treatments, and lifestyle modifications, such as a personalized diet and exercise plan, stress management techniques, and possibly medications like Metformin to regulate your menstrual cycle and improve insulin sensitivity
