I've been dealing with PCOD and haven't had my period for three months. Now I've got my period, but it's really heavy and I'm experiencing a lot of stomach pain. I'm stuck at home due to the lockdown and can't see a doctor for the next couple of days. Do you think this is normal, and is there anything I can do to manage the pain or bleeding until I can get to a doctor? I'm really worried.

So, I'm kinda worried about this. If someone touches a penis with their hand and then puts that hand into a vagina, is there any chance it could lead to pregnancy? Just trying to understand how this works.

Well dear if there is any chance of contact with the semen then only there are chances of pregnancy...So in your case you don't mention about it so there is no chance of pregnancy

I have adenomyosis and my doctor prescribed Esyma to help shrink it to around 45-50. I'm trying to avoid surgery since it might affect my chances of having kids. I'm on my third month of meds with a 2-week break after this, and the full course is 6 months. How much longer do I realistically have before my chances of having children are gone?
