I've started using Thrive by LeVel and just found out I'm pregnant. I'm really wondering if it's okay to keep using it since my first prenatal visit isn't for another two weeks. One of my friends asked her OB, who said it's fine, but she's also promoting the product, so I'm hoping to get another perspective. Is it truly safe to use while pregnant?

No I wouldn't advise you to continue with THRIVE during your pregnancy as it is used as a weight loss nutrition. I would advise you to avoid this product during your pregnancy and also have the supplements which will be prescribed by your obstetrician(iron, folic acid) and also have a well balanced diet during your pregnancy for a healthy baby.

I'm a bit worried and need some advice. I'm 16, and a couple of days ago, I lost my virginity with my boyfriend. We used a condom, and it didn't break or slip, and he didn't cum in it, so I thought pregnancy wasn't a possibility. Still, I'm feeling stressed and anxious because since the day after, I've been having stomach pains. I haven't told my parents because of my age, and they don't know about the pains I'm having. Is it normal to experience stomach aches after having sex for the first time? I've been taking paracetamol because they seem to help with the pain. My period usually starts at the beginning of every month, and I only sometimes get cramps a week beforehand. Could these pains be related?

It is not uncommon to experience stomach pains after your first sexual experience, as it can be a new and sometimes uncomfortable sensation for your body. However, if the pain persists or becomes severe, it is important to seek medical advice. In the meantime, continue taking paracetamol for pain relief. Considering your concerns about pregnancy, since you used a condom correctly and it did not break, the chances of pregnancy are low. To further ease your worries, you can consider taking a pregnancy test for confirmation. For the stomach pains, you can also try taking antispasmodic medication like Buscopan to help with any cramping. If the pain continues or worsens, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried and need my period to start right away. Is there any medicine you can suggest that might make it happen within a day?

Consult with a Gynecologist to get a prescription. Commonly used medication include Medroxyprogesterone acetate to induce a withdrawal bleed and start your period. Taking medication without the guidance of a medical officer can have serious side effects.

I'm a bit worried because I didnt really have ejaculation during intercourse, but just to be safe, I took an i-pill within 2 hours. I have PCOS and hypothyroidism, and my last period was on August 23rd with a 27-day cycle. I took the pill on September 2nd, and now my period still hasn't arrived. Ive been having period-like cramps since yesterday, but there are no periods, and Im also experiencing back pain. Could there be an issue with the pill or something else going on?
