Could I Be Pregnant Despite a Negative Test?
I am 17 yr old female. I took plan b after sex. I’m feeling pregnancy symptoms and I took a test yesterday and it came back negative. Tonight I started spotting a light pink color and I’m not due for my period until the 16th and it’s never early.

Answered on 17th Feb '25
It's common to experience various symptoms after taking emergency contraception, including breast tenderness, mood changes, or spotting. Spotting, especially light pink discharge, can occur as your body adjusts to hormonal changes. A negative pregnancy test taken shortly after your situation is a reassuring sign, but wait a few days and retest if your period doesn't arrive. If symptoms persist or worsen, or if you have concerns, I encourage you to consult a gynecologist for personalized guidance.

Headaches,chakkar aana,halki si vomit kari hai I got physical with my partner on this 19 and her periods ended on 15....on 22 she spent 4-5 hours outside,after that day she is complaining about feeling lazy,vomit(today halka sa),1 side pain in head.is it because she is pregnant or it's just normal health issue
Female | 19
Feeling tired, experiencing slight nausea, and having a headache can be related to various factors, such as stress, dehydration, or hormonal changes. While pregnancy is a possibility, these symptoms alone do not confirm it. It's essential to ensure she stays hydrated, rests, and monitors her symptoms. If the headache persists, if new symptoms arise, or if pregnancy is a concern, I recommend consulting a gynecologist for a thorough evaluation and guidance.

What is the meaning of blow mentioned points Urinary bladder is partially filled. Endometrial thickness is measuring approx (12) mm. bilateral adnexa unremarkable.
Female | 22
partial filling of urinary bladder is one of the most frequent cases identified through routine ultrasound scanning. The normal changes of the menstrual cycle may cause endometrial thickness to be about 12 mm, or it can require further investigation by a gynecologist in some cases. A positive finding is that the bilateral adnexa are unremarkable:. Other questions or concerns about such findings must be addressed by asking your gynecologist to assess them in detail.

I had sex with a condom and after 5 minutes I felt a burning pain and we stopped. It has been a week and I have a red and irritated vulva. Neither of us have STDs. What is this?
Female | 18
Maybe it is a reaction to the contraceptive or the lubricant applied. It can lead to irritation, burning and redness. It is always recommended to visit a gynecologist or dermatologist who can do the diagnosis and offer the best treatment.

Loosing 5 kg during six months of taking metformin for PCOS is an improvement. On the one hand, it is very important to see a gynecologist or an endocrinologist to check up on your progress.

Female | 28
You have to stop using the vape immediately. Nicotine could prevent the production of milk and cause harm to your baby`s health. Consult with a specialist in lactation or gynecologist to help to enhance your milk production and the well-being of both you and your baby.

I am 29 year old female. Trying to conceive since a year. I had spotting for 2 days before my periods due date and missed my periods. I got lower back pain. Tested negative for pregnancy today ( after 10 days of spotting). What is it ?
Female | 29
Hair loss and lower back pain can have various causes. Stress and hormonal changes may lead to delayed periods, which can create a false impression of pregnancy. It's great that you're addressing this! If your negative test was recent, consider retesting in a week. If symptoms persist, consulting a gynecologist could be beneficial.

Hi, I want to know adnexal cyst can be treated with surgery only or can it be resolved with any medicine or by its own without treatment. Dr. Has given voltrel, cefixim and trypsin tablets for 5 days and CA- 125 test is been awaited. Pls suggest advice.
Female | 16
Adnexal cysts are sacs filled with fluid. They're located close to the ovaries. Some cause pelvic pain, bloating. Others don't show any signs. Surgery may remove big or painful cysts. But many small ones go away without treatment. Medicines like yours might ease symptoms. Your gynecologist will guide you based on your situation. It's wise to await the CA-125 test results to learn more.

Female | 19
You are likely experiencing problems with your menstrual cycle and have some strange discharge. The black or brown discharge could be old blood. This may occur due to hormonal imbalance, stress, weight changes, or some underlying health conditions. It is necessary to see a gynecologist to determine the exact reason for the disease and get proper treatment.

I have sex 2 months ago...last month I got my period but this month it delayed..is pregnancy possible??
Female | 22
There is a possibility that you can be pregnant if you had unprotected sex two months ago, even though you got your period last month. Some of the pregnancy signs are nausea, tiredness, and breast tenderness. Stress or hormonal changes can also be the reason for a period of delay. If you want to be sure, the home pregnancy test is the solution.

My period date is 21-23 every month. I have been experiencing cramps since the last 2 weeks. Today i noticed dark brown color liquidy discharge which i have never experienced before.
Female | 24
Possible menstrual periods can be the cause you have of the cramps you've been feeling for the past 2 weeks. The dark brown watery discharge you noticed may represent old blood leaving your system. This happens in some cases and is usually not something to be worried about. Do not forget to drink plenty of water, get enough rest, and apply a heating pad to your lower belly if your cramps bother you. If the symptoms repeat, worsen, or do not improve, visiting a gynecologist for a full evaluation is the best thing to do.

I think I just miscarried at home. What should I do?
Female | 23
Miscarriages at home involve heavy bleeding. Severe pain in the abdomen or back could happen. Blood clots may pass. Miscarriages occur due to genetic issues or hormonal problems. Rest well and drink plenty of fluids. Contact your gynecologist about the situation. They'll advise on appropriate next steps.

My last period was on jan 2 and have been having unprotected sex since then i did a home pregnancy test and the result was one dark line at C and faint line at T also have brownish and red blood since yesterday
Female | 23
Here's what your symptoms indicate - there's a possibility you're pregnant. The test revealing one dark line and one faint line could signify early pregnancy. And that brownish, reddish blood? It might be implantation bleeding, something that can occur in those initial stages. But to know for certain, you'll need to take another pregnancy test or see a gynecologist.

I took a birth controlling pill at March 15th and my period is delayed this month. I've been taking pills from since last 3 months 1 in a month. Am I pregnant by any chance that's what I wanna know.
Female | 20
Periods often arrive late. It happens when taking birth control pills. Stress, sickness, or routine changes affect periods. Pregnancy remains possible if pills are taken incorrectly. If worried, take pregnancy test for reassurance. If negative but the period stays late, consult a gynecologist.

Can I repeat dose of emergency pills after 20 hours as I had 2 unprotected sex after taking emergency pills
Female | 29
It is not recommended to repeat the dose of emergency pills since it causes hormonal imbalance as a result of which there can be nausea, vomiting, and irregular bleeding. It would be a good idea to follow up with a gynecologist for directions on what contraceptive methods would be more appropriate.

i had my last period from 10-16 dec. i took an ipill on 17 december. i had an acute intercourse on 7 january. i took an at home pregnancy test two days ago. it was a clear negative. i haven’t gotten my period since december.
Female | 20
It's understandable to be concerned about your missed period. Various factors, including hormonal changes, stress, or the influence of emergency contraception can cause menstrual irregularities. A negative home pregnancy test is reassuring, but since your period has not returned, it may be beneficial to consult a gynecologist. They can provide insights, perform necessary evaluations, and discuss possible solutions.

Hi! Recently I believe I had a UTI. It hurt towards the end of my pee, very small pieces of tissue was coming out with a decent amount of bleeding. My urine was cloudy and had a faint smell to it. I drank a lot of water and that went away but now i seem to have a different problem. I had a hormonal iud put in about a year ago now and stopped having my cycle around the 6 month mark. Right after I got over my UTI as I mentioned i have had bleeding come from my vagina. I know it wasn't from this before because I had checked with my finger. Is this normal? Is there a chance I didn't feel it come out? I'm mainly scared i'm pregnant, or worse.

Hormonal IUDs can cause irregular bleeding. But its better to consult a gynecologist. They will do a thorough check up and will guide you next course of treatment

I am a 17 year old female and I had been diagnosed with vaginal yeast infection 2 years back. Since then it has never completely gone away. I have taken medications including Itraconozole and antibiotics for possible bacterial vaginosis, on the prescription of my doctor, but nothing seems to work. My vagina is so itchy to the point that I create wounds from itching so much. My vaginal discharge is thick, clumpy and yellowish-white. I'm so helpless. What should I do?
Female | 17
Itching, thick discharge, no relief from medication - these could signal a stubborn yeast infection persisting despite treatment. Avoid scented products down there; they may aggravate irritation. Let's try antifungal creams formulated for yeast infections. If that doesn't help, seeing a gynecologist would be wise for proper evaluation and appropriate treatment.
