I'm kind of curious about something. I've been married for a couple of years, and my husband is really into sucking my nipples for a long time, like almost every day. I do enjoy it, but sometimes it's for like an hour on each breast, and he also pinches one nipple while sucking the other. It's fun, honestly. But here's the thing: I'm wondering if there's a chance I could start producing milk even though I don't have kids yet. Does this kind of stimulation make that possible?

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 planning to get pregnant and my gynecologist advised me to start taking folic acid tablets for two months beforehand. I'm curious about the difference between Folsafe L and Folvite. I'm also concerned because my husband and I are cousins. Which of these tablets would be more suitable for me?

Since its a consanguineous marriage, there may arise some problems with the child so you have to be very careful.Anyways, you can take any of the two because both are essentially the same. Not an issue which you choose.

Is it normal to have irregular periods?

I'm a bit worried and looking for some advice. My last period was on March 20, and on April 24, I noticed some pink discharge or spotting just once when I wiped. I've taken a few pregnancy tests, but they're really faint. Even though I've had my tubes tied for 2 years, I've heard that you can still get pregnant with that. Could you help me understand what's going on?

While your chance of pregnancy is significantly lower with tubal ligation, it is still possible, though rare. The faint line on your test may suggest pregnancy, but its best to confirm with a follow-up test or a visit to your doctor. If you do find out youre pregnant, your doctor can guide you through the next steps to ensure everything is progressing normally.
