I'm a bit worried. I had protected sex yesterday and just to be extra sure, I took a pregnancy test today which came back negative. But then, I got my period later, though it was a little late. Do I need to take another pregnancy test, or should I be concerned about getting pregnant? I really don't want to be pregnant right now. Can you help me figure this out?

It's reassuring that the pregnancy test came back negative, especially since you got your period, even if it was a bit late. Delayed periods can sometimes happen due to stress, hormonal changes, or other factors. Since you had protected sex and the test is negative, there's no need to worry about pregnancy at this point, but if you're still concerned, you can repeat the test or consult with your doctor for further peace of mind.

OR will a hemoglobin of 9.1 cause issues for my upcoming fibroid surgery? need tips to raise it fast

A hemoglobin level of 9.1 might be too low for a planned fibroid surgery next week. It's generally considered safe to have a hemoglobin level of at least 10 g/dL before surgery to minimize complications related to blood loss, according to some medical sources. Raising hemoglobin levels quickly can be done by incorporating iron-rich foods into your diet, potentially taking iron supplements (with doctor's approval), and ensuring adequate vitamin B12 and folate intake, according to some healthcare websites.
