My partner and I have noticed that during sex, initially, theres a lot of tightness, but then it seems to loosen after a few seconds. Is this a common thing, or should we be worried? I'd love to understand why this happens and if there's something we should do?

This could be due to erectile dysfunction or difficulty maintaining an erection, which may be linked to stress, anxiety, fatigue, or medical conditions like poor blood flow or hormonal imbalances. A consultation with a doctor is important to assess the underlying cause and explore treatment options.

I got my period on May 30th and was told to take Ovral L. When exactly should I start taking it, and is it okay to use if I'm thinking about getting pregnant in the future?

If you want to take Ovral L for contraception, start it on the first day of your period (May 30th), or as advised by your doctor. If you are planning for conception, you should stop taking Ovral L and give your body some time to adjust. Consult with your doctor about the best time to start trying to conceive after stopping birth control.
