I'm a bit worried and curious about when it's safe to have sex after my wife had a family planning operation on 9th August 2017. We have two daughters, and I'm just trying to make sure we're doing everything right. How long should we wait?

I'm really worried about whether using this pill multiple times could cause issues with fertility in the future. Could it actually lead to infertility or affect my chances of having kids down the line?

I've always had regular periods, but I'm a bit worried because they're starting to get delayed. Last month, it was 10 days late, and now it's already been 12 days past the expected date, and still nothing. I haven't had intercourse, so I'm sure pregnancy isn't the issue. My period dates have been March 12, April 10, and May 19. Could you help me figure out what's going on?

I've been using gestone 200 tablets vaginally since day 17 of my cycle, and now it's been 30 days without my period. I've noticed some light bleeding though. Could this mean I'm pregnant, or does gestone typically cause a delay in periods?

Hello! Gestone 200 can sometimes delay your period, as it supports the uterine lining. Light bleeding could be spotting, which sometimes happens while on progesterone. Its best to take a pregnancy test or consult your doctor to confirm whether you are pregnant.
