My daughter's 17 and going steady. I'm a bit nervous of raising the question of contraception with her. Can you help? I'm 23 and I want to know how sensibly my husband and I can plan our family? I'm 27 and I do love my husband very much but I just don't seem to be interested. Could it be the form of contraception we're using? I'm 34 and I've been on the Pill for ten years. Just what are the risks involved? I'm 45 and my periods are very irregular. What kind of precautions should I take?
