I found out my boyfriend has chlamydia, and I'm really worried. If he performs oral sex on me, could I end up getting it too?

I'm wondering if taking the I-pill can cause really heavy periods that go on for a week or more? I've been experiencing extremely heavy bleeding for days now, and it's definitely more intense than my usual periods. Should I be concerned about this?

Yes, I-pill can sometimes cause changes in your menstrual cycle, including heavier or prolonged periods, as it contains a high dose of hormones. If your periods are unusually heavy for several days, it might be a side effect. If it persists, its a good idea to consult a doctor.

I've been pregnant for 6 weeks now, and for the last 34 days, every time I eat, I end up vomiting. I've been taking the pregnidoxin medicine once a day, but it just doesn't seem to be working anymore. The vomiting starts just half an hour after eating. Could it be that I'm eating too much, or is there something else going on?

I'm currently using a Symbicort 320 inhaler and I'm a bit worried about how to manage it after my c-section delivery. I'm concerned I might not be able to inhale it properly when the time comes, considering the incision and all. Could you advise me on any alternative medications I should consider for that period? I'm at 30 weeks and 0 days into my pregnancy today.
