I've been really concerned since my partner started taking cerazette for birth control. She's had this persistent lower abdomen pain that's off and on but it's definitely noticeable. It's been a month now, and not only is she experiencing a lot of pain, but also there's spotting and she hasn't gotten her regular period. Is this normal? The pain really seems like too much for her to go about her usual day. Can you advise on what might be happening or what we should do next?

I'm really worried about my wife's nasal congestion. She's 21 weeks pregnant and it's been really severe. She already took a Montek LC but it doesn't seem to be helping with the cold. Could you tell me which nasal drop would be safe for her to use in the second trimester of pregnancy?

I'm wondering if it's possible to lose virginity without having any blood spots. I didn't notice any blood after losing my virginity, but I got my period a few hours later since it was supposed to come around that time anyway. It's making me a bit confused. Can you help explain if blood spots aren't always present?

Yes, it's possible to lose virginity without any blood spots. The presence or absence of blood can vary based on individual anatomy, such as the elasticity of the hymen. Menstruation can also coincide with this, which may cause confusion, but it doesn't necessarily mean the hymen wasn't stretched or torn.

I'm 22 weeks pregnant and experienced spotting during my 4th month. My doctor had me on HCG injections, but now she's saying I don't need them anymore. Is it okay to just stop the injections like that, or could it mess with my hormones?

-VIt's generally safe to stop the HCG injection if your doctor advises it, as the body can maintain pregnancy on its own. However, it's always good to follow your doctor's advice closely to avoid any hormonal imbalances.
