I'm planning my wedding and my gynecologist recommended starting on Femovan for six months, beginning on the 5th day of my cycle. My wedding will happen before I've finished all 21 tablets. Is it still going to be effective? Also, is starting on the 5th day the right approach? I really want to be sure it's all good and if it'll work without any other protection.

Starting Femovan on the 5th day of your cycle is a common practice to ensure its effectiveness. As long as you take the pills consistently every day, even if your marriage occurs before completing the full 21 tablets, Femovan should still be effective in preventing pregnancy. It is important to follow your gynecologist's instructions for the best results. Femovan is a combined oral contraceptive pill containing ethinylestradiol and gestodene.

My wife is feeling a bit under the weather with a mild cold, and she's in her third trimester right now. My uncle, who's an ENT doctor, recommended febrex plus and azithro 250 mg for her. I'm just a bit concerned and would love some input on whether these medications are okay for her to take at this stage. What do you think?

I'm trying to figure out if I'm experiencing early pregnancy symptoms or just normal stuff. My last menstrual period was on May 4th, 2016, and today I'm 10 days past ovulation. We're planning to conceive, but since my next period is still about five days away, I'm not sure what to expect. Lately, I've been feeling really sleepy and noticed some watery vaginal discharge for the past 3-4 days. Are these signs of early pregnancy, or do they happen naturally? Would love your thoughts.

I'm a bit worried because last month I took Meprate tablets to delay my period, and I got my period right after I stopped them. But this month, my period is five days late. I'm not sure if it's a side effect of Meprate or if there's a chance I could be pregnant. Should I be concerned and see a doctor?

most common cause for missing periods is pregnancy unless ruled out. In a normal menstrual cycle, a balance between the hormones estrogen and progesterone regulates the buildup of the lining of the uterus (endometrium), which is shed during menstruation. If a hormone imbalance occurs, there will be irregularities in menstrual cycle. Consult Gynecologis
