I'm nursing my 3-year-old and wondering if it's safe to take cyclopam for menstrual pain. Could this medication be harmful while breastfeeding?

Cyclopam (Dicyclomine) can be taken occasionally for menstrual pain while nursing a 3-year-old, as only small amounts pass into breast milk, and it's generally considered safe. However, monitor your child for any signs of drowsiness or feeding changes, and consult your doctor for personalized advice.

I'm a bit worried because I haven't had sex with my boyfriend, but we were cuddling and humping naked from June 3rd to June 6th, and his sperm ended up on my lower region. We started worrying about pregnancy, so I took Unwanted 72 on June 7th. We did a urine test on June 8th, and it was negative. My last period ended on May 10th, so I expected my next period around June 7th or 8th. But now it's June 16th, and I still haven't gotten my period. Can taking Unwanted 72 delay my period?

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.
