I got my period on May 30th and was told to take Ovral L. When exactly should I start taking it, and is it okay to use if I'm thinking about getting pregnant in the future?

If you want to take Ovral L for contraception, start it on the first day of your period (May 30th), or as advised by your doctor. If you are planning for conception, you should stop taking Ovral L and give your body some time to adjust. Consult with your doctor about the best time to start trying to conceive after stopping birth control.

I had a laparoscopy done 5 months ago for an ectopic pregnancy, but I still get sharp pains sometimes where they did the surgery. Why is it still hurting like this?

Post-laparoscopy pain can persist due to adhesions, nerve sensitivity, or healing tissues. If worsening or accompanied by other symptoms, a follow-up pelvic ultrasound may be needed.

I'm over 10 weeks into an ectopic pregnancy and really worried is surgery my only option at this point? If yes, how long would I need to stay in the hospital after the procedure?

Can't keep ectopic for long. It's risky if you are continuing it for long. Consult your obstetrician at earliest

My wife is feeling a bit under the weather with a mild cold, and she's in her third trimester right now. My uncle, who's an ENT doctor, recommended febrex plus and azithro 250 mg for her. I'm just a bit concerned and would love some input on whether these medications are okay for her to take at this stage. What do you think?
