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 29 weeks pregnant and my latest USG report shows an open internal OS with a cervix of 2.8, a funnel diameter of 6.4mm, and a funnel length of 12.8mm. I'm currently in the hospital, and I'm really worried about how risky this situation might be. Could you please help me understand what those measurements mean and what I should expect?

While your condition does carry some risks, especially for preterm birth, many women with similar conditions go on to have successful pregnancies with the appropriate treatment and monitoring. Your healthcare providers will be the best source of advice to manage this situation and minimize risks to both you and your baby. Stay in close contact with your doctor, and follow their instructions carefully.

I'm dealing with PCOD and just found out I'm pregnant, which is super exciting but also a bit nerve-wracking. My doctor mentioned I might need to take Ecosprin since it's really early in the pregnancy. It's my first month, and I'm kind of anxious about what I should dolike, is it really safe to start Ecosprin now? Would it affect the pregnancy in any way?
