View allI'm feeling a bit anxious about something. My wife usually gets her period around the 25th of each month. We were intimate on August 10th, and she found out she was pregnant soon after. She took abortion pills on September 4th and got her period the next day. We were intimate again on September 26th. I'm just wondering, is there a possibility she could be pregnant again?
Since your wife had her period on 5th September after taking abortion pills on 4th September, it's likely that her fertility cycle reset. Given that she had sex on 26th September, which is close to her ovulation period (typically around the 14th day of the menstrual cycle), there is a possibility of pregnancy. However, it depends on her individual cycle and ovulation timing. It's advisable to take a pregnancy test or consult a doctor for more clarity.

I'm about 6 weeks pregnant and I've been having this light green vaginal discharge every day since week 4. There's no itching, but I'm really worried about why it's happening. I'm on thyroxine, progesterone, and folic acid tablets. Could this be related, or should I be concerned about something else?
Green vaginal discharge during pregnancy can be caused by a number of infections, including:Bacterial vaginosis: An overgrowth of common bacteria that causes inflammation and a fishy-smelling discharge that may be gray or green and watery. It can cause problems during pregnancy, such as preterm birth. Trichomoniasis: A sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the parasite trichomonas vaginalis. It can cause a green discharge. Gonorrhea or chlamydia: Other STIs that can cause green discharge. Yeast infection: Also known as candidiasis, this is one of the most common vaginal infections during pregnancy. Urinary tract infection (UTI): Can cause discharge during pregnancy and may need to be treated.So consult gynaecologist for the same
