My wife recently gave birth to a baby girl a few months ago, and we're thinking about spacing out our next child. Weve heard about the copper T when it comes to birth control, but were not exactly sure when we should get it inserted. Could you provide some guidance on this?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
You can consider getting the Copper T inserted around 6-8 weeks postpartum, once your body has had some time to recover and after your first postpartum checkup. Its important to consult your doctor to ensure its the right choice for you and to discuss timing based on your health and preferences.

View allI'm a 26-year-old woman with a 10-month-old daughter, and I've noticed something that's been bothering me. About a year and a half ago, my sexual desire started to gradually fade, and now it feels like it has completely disappeared. My husband and I can go months without being intimate, and honestly, it doesnt really bother me. When we do have intimate moments, its more out of obligation because I feel guilty about making him wait so long. I'm worried about why this is happening and wondering if there's something I should be doing to bring back my desire. Could there be an underlying issue I need to address?

I'm pregnant and have been prescribed natural micronised progesterone sustained release tablets 200mg and progesterone softgel capsules 200mg. Are these safe to take during pregnancy? I'm just a bit worried and want to make sure everything's good for my baby.
Yes, both natural micronised progesterone sustained release tablets and progesterone softgel capsules 200mg are commonly prescribed during pregnancy to support the luteal phase and prevent miscarriage, especially in cases of progesterone deficiency. However, it's essential to follow your doctor's guidance for safe usage during pregnancy.

I'm really worried about my wife's health. She's currently 25 weeks pregnant, and we recently did a CBC test where the ESR level came back high at 90mm. Is this normal, or should we be concerned? Could this be a problem for the baby? I really need some advice on this.
