View allHey, I'm thinking about using a period delay pill and I'm not sure which one I should go for or what the right dosage is. Also, how far in advance should I start taking it? I'm also a bit worried about how this might affect my next period cycle. Would love any advice you could give me.
Gynaecologist opinion is advised to the patient.

I'm 31 and had my first IUI on August 17th. I had four follicles around 21-24mm and my husband's sperm count was 110 million. Now it's the fifth day post-IUI and I'm feeling mild cramping in my lower back and abdomen, similar to period cramps, but my period isn't due until September 4th. Should I be concerned about these symptoms or schedule a visit with my gynecologist?
The mild cramping you're experiencing five days post-IUI is likely due to ovulation or implantation, but to confirm and alleviate concerns, schedule a follow-up appointment with your gynaecologist around 14-16 days post-IUI for a pregnancy test

I'm four months pregnant and I'm wondering if having sex with precautions is safe during this stage. Can you give me some guidance on this?
Yes, sex is generally safe during the fourth month of pregnancy as long as there are no complications and both partners are comfortable. It is important to use precautions to ensure safety for both the mother and the baby. You can use water-based lubricants and try different positions to ensure comfort. However, it is always recommended to consult with your obstetrician for personalized advice. In terms of precautions, it is important to avoid any pressure on the abdomen, use gentle movements, and communicate openly with your partner about any discomfort. If there are any concerns or complications, it is best to abstain from sex and consult with your healthcare provider.
