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?

I'm looking for some advice on how to prevent pregnancy without using condoms. Are there any natural methods or other options I could consider? I'm hoping for some quick suggestions.

You can use semen withdrawal method for that if suitable. Avoid physical relation during ovulatory phase of menstrual cycle.

Good evening doctor, I'm currently six months pregnant and today I noticed something a bit unusual. There are a few drops of something leaking from my breast, and it happened both in the morning and again in the evening. I'm just wondering if this is normal or if it's something I should be concerned about. Could you help me understand why this might be happening?

That common during pregnancy as your breast starts changing and growth happens,no need to worry,if its becoming more in quantity visit your doctor for appropriate management

I've been waiting for six days now and still no period. I did a pregnancy test, but it came back negative. I'm really confused about what's going on. Could there be other reasons for my period being this late?
