My wife is about 5.5 weeks pregnant and we had an ultrasound done. The doctor gave us an MTP Kit but we can't remember how were supposed to take it. With all the stuff happening because of COVID, we're really trying to avoid another visit to the hospital. Can you explain the steps for taking the MTP Kit?

I've got a bit of a concern about my period and Plan B. I had my period mid-July, from the 14th to the 18th, and then I had unprotected sex on the 19th. I took the emergency contraception pill on the 22nd. But then, oddly, I got my period again on the 28th, and it only lasted about 4 days. Is this normal? Could this be a side effect of taking Plan B?

-Yes, the bleeding you experienced on July 28 could be a side effect of the Plan B pill. Its common for emergency contraception to cause irregular bleeding or spotting, even if your period comes around the usual time.

I'm really worried about my wife; she's in her 9th month of pregnancy and has been dealing with a cough that's turned into something more over the past couple of months. It started as a dry cough, but now she ends up vomiting in short bursts right after she coughs. She's been taking Sandocal, uprise D3 1k, Ferosyl, and Grilinctus cough syrup. We've also tried antibiotics prescribed by doctors, but nothing seems to help. Can anyone explain what's going on or give us some advice on what to do next?

Yes, continue same treatment.

I'm planning my wedding and my gynecologist recommended starting on Femovan for six months, beginning on the 5th day of my cycle. My wedding will happen before I've finished all 21 tablets. Is it still going to be effective? Also, is starting on the 5th day the right approach? I really want to be sure it's all good and if it'll work without any other protection.

Starting Femovan on the 5th day of your cycle is a common practice to ensure its effectiveness. As long as you take the pills consistently every day, even if your marriage occurs before completing the full 21 tablets, Femovan should still be effective in preventing pregnancy. It is important to follow your gynecologist's instructions for the best results. Femovan is a combined oral contraceptive pill containing ethinylestradiol and gestodene.
