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.

I've had a bartholin cyst for 2 years now and really want to avoid surgery can it be treated with just medication? What options do I have for non-surgical treatment?

Yes, it's possible to treat a Bartholin cyst without surgery. Mild cases often respond well to home remedies like sitz baths, warm compresses, and over-the-counter pain relief. In some cases, antibiotics or a drainage catheter may be needed for infected or recurring cysts

I'm a bit concerned because it's been 42 days since my last period and I haven't gotten it yet. I'm worried I might be pregnant but I took two tests and they came back negative. I'm experiencing some symptoms like back pain, morning sickness, pelvic pain, and bloating. Could these symptoms mean I'm pregnant? When would be a good time to test again? What do you think these symptoms might indicate?

I'm wondering if it's necessary to have a stitch again during my second pregnancy. I had one during my first pregnancy but I don't think I have cervical incompetence. The first time, I didn't really have a choice, but now I'm considering not having it. Could there be any risks to my baby if I skip it this time? I'm also concerned if the previous stitch might have caused any damage to my cervix.

The need for a cerclage in your second pregnancy depends on whether you have risk factors like cervical insufficiency or a history of preterm birth. If you dont have those issues, a cerclage may not be necessary. Speak with your doctor to assess the need for monitoring
