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

I'm 9 weeks into my pregnancy and I've come down with a cough. I started taking Zedex cough syrup for it, but I'm a bit concerned. Is it safe to use Zedex while I'm pregnant?

Can a girl lose her virginity without knowing?

A woman may not know her hymen has broken, because it doesn't always cause pain or noticeable bleeding. Having a broken hymen doesn't necessarily mean a woman has lost her virginity.

I'm a little concerned because my c-section scar has a noticeable odor and they used glue to seal it. Is this something normal, or should I be thinking about a trip to the ER?

A mild odor and redness after a C-section are common, but a strong, foul smell or increased redness, swelling, and discharge may indicate infection; the glue used to close the incision is usually a normal part of the healing process; however, if you experience any of the following, seek immediate medical attention: increased pain, fever over 100.4F, or pus-like discharge.
