You can use semen withdrawal method for that if suitable. Avoid physical relation during ovulatory phase of menstrual cycle.

So, I'm a little confused and worried because I did a pregnancy test and it showed a weak positive result. What does that actually mean? Why would it show up as weak positive instead of a clear result? Could there be something wrong, or is it just too early to tell? Would love some clarity on this.

Weak positive pregnancy test results typically indicate a low level of hCG hormone in the urine, which may be due to early pregnancy or a diluted urine sample. It is recommended to repeat the test with a concentrated urine sample in the morning for more accurate results. If you are indeed pregnant, please start taking folic acid supplements and consult with your obstetrician for further guidance on prenatal care.

Hey, I'm thinking about using a period delay pill and I'm not sure which one I should go for or what the right dosage is. Also, how far in advance should I start taking it? I'm also a bit worried about how this might affect my next period cycle. Would love any advice you could give me.
