I've noticed that my menstrual cycle is delayed by two days, which has never happened to me before. I'm wondering how much of a delay in periods is considered normal and if there might be any reasons behind this change.

I'm a 22-year-old girl and I feel a really strong urge for sex almost every day, except during my periods. I'm a student and it's starting to interfere with my studies because I get really restless and can't focus when this happens. Is there any way I can control these urges? Any medications or something?

I'm just wondering if it's safe to go for a normal delivery with my amniotic fluid index measuring between 9 and 10 cm. I'm currently 36 weeks and 2 days pregnant. Should I be concerned, or is it generally okay at this stage?

your AFI of 9-10 cm is in the normal range and should not pose a concern for your delivery. Normal delivery can proceed, but your doctor will consider other factors during labor and delivery. Always follow your doctor's advice and keep attending your prenatal appointments to monitor both your health and the baby's well-being.

How many days after period is safe?

The fertile days may last for up to 3-5 days after the end of your period. The chances of getting pregnant just after the period depend on how short the menstrual cycle is and how long the period lasts. If periods are long, women may only have a few days left after the period ends before fertile days begin.
