View allHow do you stop your period immediately?
There is no safe or effective way to stop menstruation right away, so if you want to delay your period due to an appointment next week or next month, you should talk to your doctor about the best method to delay the onset of your period.

I'm a bit worried and need some advice. My last menstrual period was on May 10, and I started Clomid on May 16, following my gynecologist's advice. I have hypothyroidism with TSH at 2.74, normal T3 and T4 levels, but my anti-TPO is quite high at 500. My period is now over 70 days late. A urine pregnancy test was negative on the 55th day, and the ultrasound showed 5 cysts on my ovaries. My gynecologist then prescribed Meprate 10mg. But today, I took another urine pregnancy test, and it came out positive. I'm confused because I've only had contact with my husband on July 8 and in May. Could this be a pregnancy? If so, what should I do next? When should I actually see my gynecologist again? And is there any risk to my pregnancy if Ive been on Meprate? Could you please guide me?

I'm looking for some advice on an issue my spouse and I are facing. We've been married for six years and have a five-year-old daughter. We were apart for a while due to work, so we really haven't had regular penetrative sex in a bit. Now, when we're trying to get back into it, my spouse says she feels irritation in her vagina during penetration, even though we have a lot of foreplay and she's wet before we start. It's causing us to have trouble having intercourse. Should we be using a lubrication gel or is there any other remedy you'd suggest?
It sounds like your wife may be experiencing vaginal dryness or irritation. A good solution could be using a water-based lubricant like KY Jelly or Astroglide, which can help reduce friction and provide comfort during intercourse. If the issue persists, its best to consult a gynecologist for a thorough evaluation.
