Is oral sex safe for my partner and me, or are there risks we should be worried about? If there are, what steps can we take to make it safer? We've engaged in oral sex, so I'm wondering if we should see a doctor to ensure everything is okay.

Oral sex can be safe for both partners if precautions are taken, such as using dental dams or condoms to reduce the risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). It's important to maintain good oral hygiene and avoid oral sex if either partner has sores or infections. If you have concerns about any potential impact, it's a good idea to consult with a doctor for a check-up.

I've been dealing with this horrible pain for a couple of hours now, it's in my lower abdomen on the side away from my appendix. It's really strange because when I'm lying down, it doesn't bother me, but walking is super painful and sitting up is just unbearable. What could be causing this?
It sounds like you may be experiencing an issue with your ovary, bowel, or urinary tract, possibly an ovarian cyst, infection, or even diverticulitis. Please see a doctor immediately for evaluation, as this pain requires urgent attention. Rest and avoid straining in the meantime.

I'm thinking about starting Novelon tablets for my polycystic ovaries to help regulate my periods. I'm a bit concerned though, will taking them cause me to gain weight? I do plan on taking them with my doctor's advice, but Id love to know if this has been an issue for others in the past. Can you confirm?
Novelon tablet, containing desogestrel, is a progestin-only pill used to regulate menstrual cycles, including in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), but it may not directly address polycystic ovaries; regarding weight gain, Novelon is considered weight-neutral, meaning it's unlikely to cause significant weight gain, but individual responses may vary;
