I'm recently married, and every time I have sex with my husband, it's really painful because my vagina feels so tight. I'm wondering if using coconut or sesame oil during intercourse might help. But I'm also worried if these oils could affect my chances of getting pregnant. Are there any oils that are safe to use that won't impact pregnancy?

Using coconut or sesame oil during intercourse is safe, but it may reduce the effectiveness of latex condoms if you're using them. To avoid pregnancy-related concerns, opt for water-based lubricants like Pre-Seed, which are sperm-friendly and won't hinder conception.

I'm concerned about me and my husband's blood group. We both have AB blood group, and I'm wondering if this could cause any issues when we decide to plan for a baby. Does having the same blood group affect family planning, or is it not really a big deal? Looking forward to some insight!

I'm feeling a bit worried because I had protected sex with my boyfriend a couple of days before I was supposed to get my period, which was due on December 5th. It's now December 16th, and I'm late. A few days ago, I had some mild stomach pain and noticed light blood spots. Could this mean I'm pregnant, or is there another reason this might be happening?
