I'm really curious and a bit nervous about having sex for the first time. What should both my partner and I know or do to make sure it's a good and safe experience for us both since it's our first time?

To have a good first-time sexual experience, it's important to communicate openly with your partner, take things slow, and prioritize each other's comfort and consent. Make sure to use protection to prevent sexually transmitted infections and unwanted pregnancies. It's also important to be aware of each other's boundaries and to stop if either partner feels uncomfortable. As for contraception, you can consider using condoms to prevent STIs and also consider using emergency contraceptive pills if needed.

View allI'm currently using Susten intravaginally as per my doctor's instructions, but it seems to be leaking out slowly. Is this something normal, or should I be concerned?
Using Susten intravaginally can sometimes lead to leakage as the capsule dissolves. It is normal for some of the medication to come out. To minimize leakage, you can try lying down for 20-30 minutes after inserting the capsule. If the leakage is excessive or persistent, you can talk to your doctor about possibly adjusting the dosage or trying a different formulation.

I'm 10 weeks pregnant but it doesn't really feel like it. I had a scan at 7 weeks and 4 days and everything looked good, but I'm really worried because I haven't had many pregnancy symptoms. Is this normal? Can you help me understand what's going on?
Not experiencing noticeable pregnancy symptoms, also known as a "quiet pregnancy," is relatively common, affecting up to 50% of women; given your 7-week scan showed everything was fine, and you're only 10 weeks along, try to stay calm and focus on maintaining a healthy lifestyle, but to alleviate concerns, consider discussing your symptoms (or lack thereof) with your healthcare provider or obstetrician.
