I'm really worried because my 19-year-old girlfriend is pregnant and we're considering MTP tablets. What kind of pain should we expect, and is there anything we can do to help reduce it? I'm really concerned for her well-being, and I want to make sure shes as comfortable as possible. Can you provide any advice or information?

Yes, a 19-year-old girl can undergo Medical Termination of Pregnancy (MTP) with the appropriate supervision of a healthcare provider. The pain experienced during the process can vary from person to person, but pain management options can be discussed with the healthcare provider. To help reduce pain, your girlfriend can take over-the-counter pain relievers like paracetamol. Additionally, the healthcare provider may prescribe medications like Mifepristone and Misoprostol for the procedure, which can help manage pain and discomfort.

I'm two months pregnant and my doctor suggested I take doxinate for managing nausea. I'm just wondering, when's the best time to take doxinate during the first trimester?

-Hi! You can take Doxinate 30 minutes before meals, especially in the morning, to help prevent nausea throughout the day. If your nausea worsens at specific times, adjust accordingly, like taking it at night for morning sickness. Always follow your doctor

Can you get pregnant on your period?

Yes, although it's not very likely. If you have sex without using contraception, you can conceive (get pregnant) at any time during your menstrual cycle, even during or just after your period.
