Sperm Survival: Sperm survival in menstrual blood is generally limited. The environment is not supportive for sperm viability.
-
Lifespan: Sperm can survive up to 5 days in optimal conditions, like fertile cervical mucus.
-
Menstrual Blood Environment: It is acidic and contains immune cells, reducing sperm viability.
-
Fertility Considerations: Pregnancy is possible if intercourse occurs near menstruation's end and ovulation follows soon after.

View allI'm 23 weeks pregnant and I've been having a really bad throat infection along with a blocked nose and cough. My gynecologist advised me to take Augmentin 625 Duo, which I've been on for the past two days. The cough was quite bad, so I decided to start Montek LC as well. I took a dose at about 3 PM yesterday, and then another half dose at midnight. I'm continuing with the antibiotics for another three days to finish the course. Can you tell me if taking these medications together is safe?
It's generally safe to take Augmentin 625 Duo (amoxicillin-clavulanate) as prescribed by your gynecologist for 5 days, and Montek LC (montelukast) as needed for cough, but taking an extra half dose of Montek LC at midnight may not be necessary, so consult your doctor to confirm the dosage and ensure safe use during pregnancy, as both medications are category B, meaning animal studies have shown no harm, but human studies are limited.

I've noticed that my menstrual cycle is delayed by two days, which has never happened to me before. I'm wondering how much of a delay in periods is considered normal and if there might be any reasons behind this change.
before and after 7 days is normal

I've recently stopped taking Lefno about 45 days ago, and now I've found out I'm pregnant. Is it safe to continue with this pregnancy? This baby really means a lot to us, especially after multiple miscarriages and a stillbirth. I also have diabetes, hypertension, and thyroid issues. Can you help me understand the risks or precautions I should be aware of?
