I'm really curious and a bit worried about having sex during pregnancy. Is it safe for me and the baby? Also, if we decide to discontinue the pregnancy at some point, what are the safe options or timeframes I should be aware of while still being sexually active?

Sex during pregnancy is generally safe, but it's important to consult with your healthcare provider to ensure there are no complications or risks specific to your pregnancy. If you are considering discontinuing the pregnancy, it is crucial to seek medical advice as soon as possible to discuss your options and the safest course of action. It is not recommended to make decisions about pregnancy termination without consulting a healthcare professional.

I've been having this sudden, really sharp pain in my vagina that only lasts a few seconds, but it's happening at least once a day now. On top of that, I'm experiencing pain on the right side of my abdomen. My periods have been all over the place too; sometimes they skip a couple of months, and other times they're on time. It's kind of worrying, and I'm curious to know what's causing this stabbing painit's so intense it leaves me speechless for a moment. Is it like muscle contractions or something?

The sharp, stabbing pain youre experiencing could be due to ovarian cysts, pelvic muscle spasms, or hormonal fluctuations, especially considering your irregular periods. It's important to consult with a gynecologist for a thorough examination and possible imaging to determine the exact cause and manage your symptoms effectively.

I've recently had a medical termination and after 15 days, I found out there are retained products. My doctor used 2 tablets to help but I'm only feeling lower back pain and no other symptoms. How long until bleeding starts? Can retained products be expelled through bleeding, or will they come out with my period? Is it safe to wait until my next period for them to pass? I'm really worried and would appreciate some advice.
