I'm a bit worried because my wife's pregnancy test came back positive, but we weren't planning on having another baby right now since our little one is just two years old. Her period was supposed to start on the 23rd of this month. Could you give us some advice on what we should do next? We're really looking for a solution.

While the risk is extremely low, it's not impossible. Precum can contain sperm, and if it comes into contact with the vagina, pregnancy can theoretically occur. However, the chances are very slim, especially without ejaculation or penetration. According to the American Pregnancy Association, the risk of pregnancy from precum is estimated to be around 1-4%.

Can we eat ice cream during periods?

Having a lot of dairy products is not the best idea, as it can cause cramping. Dairy products like milk, cheese, and ice cream contain arachidonic acid (an omega-6 fatty acid), which can increase inflammation and can intensify your period pain.
