I'm planning a week-long trip to Goa and I'm worried because my period is supposed to start around the same time. I really want to enjoy the beach without any hassle. Is there a safe way to delay my period for this trip? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

You can consider taking Norethisterone (brand name Regestrone) to delay your periods. It is a commonly used medication for period delay. Remember to consult with your doctor before starting any medication.

I'm about 8 weeks pregnant, and this wasn't planned. My partner and I really don't feel ready for a baby right now. What options do we have?

I'm taking regestrone 5mg tablets because my gynaecologist suggested them since my periods got delayed. We had unprotected sex and he ejaculated inside. I'm really worried about getting pregnant now. What are the chances of becoming pregnant while taking regestrone? Just so you know, I did a pregnancy test before starting regestrone and it came back negative.

Regestrone is a synthetic progestin that helps regulate the menstrual cycle. While it can help with delayed periods, it is not a contraceptive method. The chances of getting pregnant while on regestrone are still present, especially if unprotected intercourse occurs. It is important to use additional contraceptive methods to prevent pregnancy. If you are concerned about pregnancy, you may consider emergency contraception like Levonorgestrel 1.5mg as a precautionary measure within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse.

I'm really worried about my wife's health. She's currently 25 weeks pregnant, and we recently did a CBC test where the ESR level came back high at 90mm. Is this normal, or should we be concerned? Could this be a problem for the baby? I really need some advice on this.
