I'm thinking about having a second child and really hope for a baby boy to complete our family. My first child is a lovely 3.5-year-old girl. Is there any advice or methods to help conceive a boy?

While it's not possible to guarantee the gender of your baby naturally, some methods like timing intercourse around ovulation or choosing specific positions may slightly influence the odds. However, it's important to remember that the most accurate way to select a baby's gender is through medical procedures like IVF with genetic testing, though these come with ethical and legal considerations.

I'm taking Ovral-L and I'm curious if ovulation still happens while I'm on it. Could you explain how exactly it prevents pregnancy? I'm just a bit worried and want to understand everything better. Also, is it possible for ovulation to occur with Ovral-L?

I'm really worried because I haven't had my period for the last 6 months, and I can feel something hard in my belly. I don't really feel any other symptoms, but back in January, I had typhoid and jaundice. Could this be related to that? I also had sex in November, but my missed period started before then. Is it possible that I might be pregnant, or could it be something else entirely?

Given your 6-month amenorrhea (absence of periods), feeling something hard in your belly, and previous illnesses like typhoid and jaundice, it's essential to consult a gynecologist
