I'm worried because my period is supposed to start right around my brother's wedding day, and I really want to delay it. Is there a safe way to do this, and how would it affect me? I'm not sure what medication options are available or if there are any natural methods I could try. Can you help me figure out the best way to postpone my periods just for this occasion?

Generally, progesterone tablets are used for this purpose...you should start 5 days prior to the expected date till you want to postpone.10 mg tablets are used twice daily or 5 mg thrice daily and you will get withdrawal bleeding within 7 days when you stop tablets...You may have a heavier period after stopping the tablet.consult for nearby gynae for the same

My wife is about 5 months pregnant and she's been dealing with some pretty uncomfortable itching for the past couple of weeks. I'm really concerned about it and wondering if there's any safe medicine or anything we could try to help with this.

For itching during pregnancy, especially in the 5th month, consider the following options under medical guidance: topical creams like calamine lotion, aqueous cream, or E45 cream; oral antihistamines like chlorpheniramine; or natural remedies like coconut oil, olive oil, or oatmeal baths; however, always consult your obstetrician before administering any medication to ensure safety for both mother and fetus.

I'm really worried and would appreciate your advice. Me and my girlfriend only had oral sex about a month ago, and we're pretty sure it was just that. She usually has irregular periods, and her last one was on March 3rd. This month, her period skipped, and she's been worried ever since. After missing her period by a couple of days, we did a urine HCG test which came back negative, and then repeated it 4 days later, still negative. She's noticed some whitish smears in her underpants, and she said she's experienced this before due to sexual arousal. But now that seems to have stopped. Could there still be any chance of pregnancy from oral sex? Is it even possible for saliva to cause pregnancy when I kissed her and then went down on her? Please help me understand what's going on.

no need to worry sice hcg is negative you are less likely to be pregnant and it is less likely to be pregnant by your methods consult your gynac for further treatment

I've just realized I took Primolut for five days without knowing I was pregnant. I'm really nervous about whether this could affect my baby. Can you help me understand what to expect?

- taking Primolut (norethisterone) early in pregnancy is unlikely to harm your baby, but it's essential to stop it immediately now that you know. Please consult your OB-GYN for a detailed evaluation and guidance to ensure both your and your baby's health.
