My last LMP ON 06/02/24. We did intercourse on 23,25,28 of February. Is there any chance of pregnancy

Female | 33

Your pre­vious monthly cycle commenced 06/02/24. During Fe­bruary, intimate relations occurred on the­ 23rd, 25th, and 28th days. Conception likelihood peaks ne­ar ovulation, typically 14 days before menstruation's onset. Indicative signs may manife­st missed period, queasine­ss, weariness, tende­r breasts. If pregnancy suspicion arises, an at-home­ test can provide confirmation.

I had sex without protection. But once he didn't use protection. He is saying he didn't ejaculate inside. Will i get pregnant?

Female | 19

There is still a risk of pregnancy even if ejaculation doesn't occur inside the vagina. Pre-ejaculate fluid, also known as "pre-cum," can still contain sperm and lead to pregnancy. Get a test done to confirm about pregnancy.

When is the best time to take a pregnancy test in the morning or in the evening

Female | 28

The most suitable­ time for a pregnancy test is morning. This is be­cause morning urine has higher conce­ntration, making it simpler to detect pre­gnancy hormone (HCG) if expecting. Eve­ning tests may yield less accurate­ results. So, for reliable outcome­s, take the test afte­r waking up.

I got late period for 10 days.my last period was on August 12 .had sex on August 11 and September 17 and 18 using condom.why I am getting my period late.is it due to pregnancy

Female | 24

Stress, weight fluctuations, and hormonal imbalance are some of the factors that can cause a delay in your period. As you had protected sex and your period is late only by 10 days, it is unlikely you are pregnant.

Male | 32

Many men with cystic fibrosis have fertility issues due to blocked or absent vas deferens. However, with assisted reproductive technologies like IVF, it's possible for couples to conceive. Discuss options with a fertility specialist.

I'm 31 years old female. This year , I delivered my baby on 28 August via c section , after 3 days staying at nicu my baby died. Now i want to know , how early i can try to conceive for baby again? Please help me.

Female | 31

In general, it is best to have a break of 18 to 24 months after the c-section and neonatal loss before conceiving again. Your body has time to heal both physically and emotionally. You must give yourself space to get better first before thinking about another pregnancy.

Okay. I wanted to know if it’s possible for a specific person to throwing off my ph balance and why is that. Like why would that be ? It’s only happened with him specifically and not anyone else .. why is that ? Is there something nh wrong with him ? Because I’m okay on my own it’s just that when we have sex I get a bv or a yeast infection or just feel irritated. I went to the doctor and they gave me and him medication to take and it still happens .. everytime … why ?

Female | 24

There can be factors contributing to changes in vaginal pH balance and the occurrence of vaginal infections. Sexual activity, particularly with a new partner, can sometimes disrupt the natural balance of bacteria in the vagina, leading to infections like bacterial vaginosis (BV) or yeast infections. This can happen due to the introduction of new bacteria or an alteration in the vaginal environment.

Good morning doctor Please, I’ve been super worried, I haven’t seen my period in 3months now. I did a profile test and discovered my prolactin levels were a little higher than normal so I was placed on a cabargoline drug for a month alongside ciprofloxasin but yet I haven’t seen my period still and I had a negative pregnancy test result. I did thyroid function test and it states everything is normal. Please, what is wrong with me? ?

Female | 23

Menstrual cycle can be disrupted by the higher levels of prolactin hormone that may lead to irregular periods or even missed periods. Cabergoline is administered to regulate the prolactin hormone secretion. But if you still have not regular periods even though you started taking this medicine, see a doctor again or you can take a second opinion

I am 20 years old I want to delay my periods as i have some important occasion I have norethisterone 10 mg tablet . What should be the dose

Female | 20

 A Norethisterone 10 mg tablet can be useful for those seeking to delay their period for a few days. You need to take one tablet 3 times a day starting 3 days before the due date of your period. It is fundamental to have a mild stomach upset and headache.
