View allI'm taking Novelon for 21 days as prescribed by my doctor. My gynecologist told me to come in on the first day of my period, but I'm wondering how long it'll take to see improvement with my PCOS. Could you let me know what to expect?
Novelon is often prescribed to help regulate menstrual cycles and manage symptoms of PCOS. It may take a few cycles (usually 2-3 months) to see noticeable improvements in hormonal balance and menstrual regularity. It's important to follow up with your gynecologist for further guidance and monitoring as your treatment progresses.

I was with my boyfriend on December 31st and we got intimate, but there was no penetration and no ejaculation near my vagina. Could just rubbing our genitals lead to pregnancy? It's been five days and I'm feeling a little tightness in my lower belly. Could this just be anxiety or stress? My last period started on December 20th. What should I do?
Rubbing genitals without penetration and ejaculation near the vagina typically doesn't lead to pregnancy, but there's a very small risk if sperm comes in contact with the vaginal area. The tightness you're feeling could be due to anxiety, especially since your period was only a week ago. If you're concerned, taking a home pregnancy test or consulting with a healthcare provider can help ease your mind.

I'm about 35 days pregnant and I've had it confirmed. The doctor gave me a Sifasi 2000 IU injection and I'm wondering why it's needed during pregnancy. Also, I've noticed my stomach making noises sometimes and I'm curious about what might be causing that. Could you provide some insight?
