We're recently married and had unprotected sex, and now my wife has missed her periods for about two weeks. We tried a urine test kit, and it came up positive. We're really hoping to find a natural home remedy to stop the pregnancy instead of relying on medicines. Could you advise us on this?

I strongly advise against trying any home remedies to terminate a pregnancy as they can be unsafe and ineffective. It is important to seek medical advice for safe and appropriate options. I recommend consulting a healthcare provider for further evaluation and discussion of available options.

I had sex with my girlfriend today, January 11, and the condom broke. She took Unwanted 72 before, like three days ago on January 7, after we had unprotected sex. Can she take the pill again or is that too much for one week? Really concerned about what we should do.

Using **Unwanted 72** twice in a week is not recommended, as it contains a high dose of hormones, which can disrupt your girlfriend's menstrual cycle and cause side effects like nausea, irregular bleeding, or fatigue. It's best to consult a healthcare provider for guidance on emergency contraception and explore long-term contraceptive options for better safety and effectiveness.

I'm currently 4 months pregnant and just found out I have COVID-19, tested positive on July 19th. I've got a stuffy nose and chest pain, but my oxygen levels are around 96 to 97. How long do you think it'll take for my nose congestion to clear up? Are there any tests I should be doing right now?

I'm really concerned because I'm experiencing body pain and a throat infection, and I'm pregnant right now. I'm wondering if it's safe for me to use a cough syrup that has acefylline piperazine and diphenhydramine HCL in it. What do you think?

yes it's safe
