No, the hymen can't grow back once it's been stretched open.

I'm trying to get pregnant and my husband and I have been having unprotected sex since the 8th day of my cycle, though not every day. We last had sex on the 15th day, which was a Saturday. Today I've noticed a clear, sticky discharge and I'm really confused. Does this mean there's still a chance I could conceive this month, or does it mean I've already ovulated and missed the window? I'm 31 and really anxious to conceive, can you help me understand what's going on?

A woman gets pregnant around the days when ovulation occurs. The average time of ovulation is the 14th day of an average length (28 day) menstrual cycle. Ovulation time vary for each individual, and can occur from 12th to 19th day of the cycle . Sperm can live up to 3 to 5 days in a womans reproductive tract, so it is possible to become pregnant if unprotected sex occurs 5 days before ovulation. The life span of the typical egg is relatively short, only around 24 hours. If fertilization does not occur within that time frame, the egg will die

My wife recently had her first period after an abortion that happened due to no heartbeat detected at two months into the pregnancy. It's been quite heavy, and we're on the fourth day now. While it seems to have lightened up a tiny bit today, it's still more than what we expected. Should we be concerned about the amount of bleeding she's experiencing right now?

As she is getting her periods after 2months, it can be little heavy. But if she is having pain or if she is passing clots or fleshy mass she has to visit her doctor. If not it will stop in 2-4 days. If the bleeding doesn't stop in 2-4 days, then also she needs to visit her doctor.
