View allI'm asking about my sister. She's 6 weeks pregnant and due to some financial issues, they're considering not continuing with the pregnancy. Is it possible to have an abortion at 6 weeks? Would it be a medicated or surgical procedure? She's also working, so would she need to take a week or two off for recovery?

I'm really worried because I had sex for the first time on February 8th and my period was supposed to come on the 12th, but it hasn't happened yet. We didn't use any protection, but it was super quick, like just 10 seconds, and my partner didn't ejaculate. Plus, my hymen didn't even break. Now I'm 18 days late and I took a home pregnancy test which came out negative. I'm not sure what to do next. Could you help me figure out what's going on?
Since your home pregnancy test came back negative, it is less likely that you are pregnant. However, the delay in your period could be due to various reasons such as stress, hormonal changes, or other underlying health conditions. You can try taking medication to induce withdrawal bleeding and regulate your menstrual cycle. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider before taking any medication.

I've been diagnosed with a 2.2x1.5cm posterior wall intramural fibroid and my endometrial thickness is 5mm. Do I need surgery for this? Could it affect my chances of getting pregnant? Are there any medications that can completely treat it?
Intramural fibroids may affect fertility but surgery is usually only needed if they cause symptoms or failed conception; medicines like GnRH analogs may help shrink them.
