I had laparoscopy surgery for an ectopic pregnancy 8 weeks ago and still haven't gotten my period yet. Is it safe to have intercourse now if we use protection? I'm not sure when it's okay to resume after this type of surgery

Can drinking turmeric water really help prevent pregnancy or any pregnancy complications? I'm curious if it's something that could actually be effective or if there are any risks involved.

Turmeric water is not a reliable method for preventing pregnancy. It does not have any contraceptive properties. If you are looking for effective contraception, I recommend consulting with a healthcare provider to discuss suitable options such as birth control pills, condoms, or intrauterine devices.

I'm planning for pregnancy and sometimes I need to take montair Lc as my doctor recommended. I'm a bit worried though. Could this affect my pregnancy planning in any way?

Montair LC, containing montelukast and levocetirizine, is generally considered safe during pregnancy, but consult your doctor before planning a pregnancy while taking this medication, as they may recommend alternative treatments or close monitoring to ensure a healthy pregnancy.
