I'm really anxious about making sure everything's safe before getting married and I want to be extra careful about not getting pregnant right now. Could you give me some advice on what precautions we should take? And, just in case, if I do end up getting pregnant, what should I do next? I'm really looking for some guidance here.

For premarital safe sex and pregnancy prevention, consider the following: use condoms (malefemale) consistently and correctly, explore other contraceptive methods like birth control pills, patches, rings, or IUDs after consulting a healthcare provider; if pregnancy occurs unintentionally, options include: 1) continuing the pregnancy and preparing for parenthood, 2) adoption, or 3) medical termination of pregnancy (MTP) within the legal timeframe and under medical guidance; prioritize open communication, mutual respect, and informed decision-making with your partner.

I'm 39 weeks pregnant and having trouble with my bowel movements. They've gotten irregular, only happening every other day, and haven't improved even after adding more fiber and water to my diet, plus drinking lemon and orange juice. For the past three weeks, I've also been dealing with lower back and abdominal pain that shifts from discomfort to sharp pain quickly, and it sometimes shoots down into my legs. I'm really worried about all thisdo you think it's safe for me to try a teaspoon of castor oil to help relax my bowel?

HELLO, YOU CAN TAKE CASTOR OIL,OK

I'm trying to conceive but recently had 15 days of continuous bleeding after taking Siphene. My doctor recommended taking Progynova 2mg, but I'm a bit scared about how it might affect my chances of conceiving. Can you explain how Progynova works in this situation?

Since you have prolonged bleeding days ,doctor would have suggested you this.progynova is not a ovulation inducing drug. But it certainly helps to stop stop which is very important right now. It may alter harmonal balance but will not prevent ovulation. So this tab as such don't act as contracepive.
