Question 1

I'm planning my wedding and my gynecologist recommended starting on Femovan for six months, beginning on the 5th day of my cycle. My wedding will happen before I've finished all 21 tablets. Is it still going to be effective? Also, is starting on the 5th day the right approach? I really want to be sure it's all good and if it'll work without any other protection.

Accepted Answer

Starting Femovan on the 5th day of your cycle is a common practice to ensure its effectiveness. As long as you take the pills consistently every day, even if your marriage occurs before completing the full 21 tablets, Femovan should still be effective in preventing pregnancy. It is important to follow your gynecologist's instructions for the best results. Femovan is a combined oral contraceptive pill containing ethinylestradiol and gestodene.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

It's possible that the ants are attracted to your urine due to the sugar content, which can sometimes be a sign of high blood sugar or diabetes. Stress can also affect your body in various ways, including increasing your stress levels and potentially influencing hormonal changes that lead to wet dreams. It would be good to consult a doctor to address both concerns, especially if you're experiencing any other symptoms.

Question 3

I've had foreplay with my partner, and my periods have been irregular for the last 6 months. My hemoglobin level is 9, and I took a pregnancy test, but it came back negative. Could I still be pregnant, or is there something else I should be worried about?

Accepted Answer

After unprotected sex, the HIV-1 RNA quantitative real-time PCR test can give a quantitative HIV status typically within 9 to 11 days post-exposure. It is important to note that this test measures the amount of HIV virus present in the blood, rather than simply detecting its presence.
