I'm thinking about having a second child and really hope for a baby boy to complete our family. My first child is a lovely 3.5-year-old girl. Is there any advice or methods to help conceive a boy?

While it's not possible to guarantee the gender of your baby naturally, some methods like timing intercourse around ovulation or choosing specific positions may slightly influence the odds. However, it's important to remember that the most accurate way to select a baby's gender is through medical procedures like IVF with genetic testing, though these come with ethical and legal considerations.

View allI'm really concerned because at my 11th week scan, my cervix length was 4.6 cm, but now in my 20th week, it's dropped to 3 cm. The radiologist said everything looks normal and there's no funneling, but I'm still worried. Should I be concerned about this change?

I had my period like usual starting on June 16th and it lasted for six days until the 21st. But it's been 67 days now, and since the 26th, I've been experiencing this whitish vaginal discharge along with really bad pain in my legs. It's been going on for two to three days now, and I'm not sure what to do. Could you help me figure out what's happening? It's kind of worrying me.
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms related to an infection or hormonal imbalance. The whitish discharge and leg pain could be a sign of a yeast infection, bacterial vaginosis, or something else, so its important to see a gynecologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment. In the meantime, try to keep the area clean and avoid irritants.

I'm really stressed out because I was supposed to get my period around the time of my surgery, but it hasn't happened. I've been worried about the extraction for about a week. Then, I picked up a cough and cold, along with some digestive issues, and had to take a few antibiotics and steroids. I've never missed a period before, and I'm still a virgin, so this is freaking me out a bit. The last time I had my period was around May 15th. Should I be concerned about this delay? What could be causing it?
