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.

I'm 28 and still a virgin, but I'm worried about something. Is it possible for my vagina to become loose just because I'm getting older? I've heard that vaginas can get loose with age, and I'm wondering if this is true. Can you help clarify this for me?

I'm about a month and 6 days late for my period, and I'm starting to get really worried. I've been feeling nauseous, my nipples are sore, and I'm a lot more sensitive to smells than usual. I've taken a home pregnancy test three times now, but each time, the test line shows up faint. The faint line appears less than 23 minutes after the urine flows onto the test pad. I'm really anxious about whether I might be pregnant or not. Could you help me understand what's going on?

I'm dealing with a polyp in my uterus and it's causing irregular periods and spotting. It gets especially bad when I run or feel stressed. I'm really worried and wondering what can be done to help this situation?

Consider consulting a gynecologist for a thorough evaluation and discussion of treatment options for the uterine polyp, which may include watchful waiting, hormonal medications, or surgical removal via polypectomy or dilation and curettage (D&C); in the meantime, your doctor may recommend hormone-regulating medications or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to manage symptoms like irregular periods and spotting.
