I've been on Novelon for the last four years, and before I started taking it, I rarely had period cramps. But now, after starting it, I began to experience them, and for the last 23 months, the pain's been so bad that I've had to take painkillers. Is this due to Novelon, or are these just normal period cramps?

Can a girl really get pregnant if she's still a virgin and there wasn't full penetration? Like, if there was just rubbing with some precum involved, is pregnancy still possible? I'm just trying to understand how risky it is, and how worried we should be about pregnancy in this kind of situation.

Yes, it is possible for pregnancy to occur even without full penetration if sperm from precum comes into contact with the vagina. Though the risk is lower, its still a possibility, so using contraception is important to prevent unintended pregnancies.

I've been wondering if it's really necessary to go through with the double marker and NT scan tests. Are these tests truly important for my pregnancy, or is it more of a way to get us to spend money? I'm feeling a bit worried about whether skipping these could impact me or my baby. What do you think?

Double marker and NT scan tests are important screening tests recommended during pregnancy to assess the risk of chromosomal abnormalities such as Down syndrome in the fetus. These tests provide valuable information to the healthcare provider to ensure the well-being of both the mother and the baby. It is not just about money business, but rather about ensuring a healthy pregnancy and making informed decisions. It is advisable to follow your healthcare provider's recommendations regarding these tests for proper prenatal care.
