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.

View allI'm a 30-year-old married person and I recently found out there's free fluid in the pod. I'm not sure what that means for me. Could it indicate that I'm pregnant, or is it something else I should be aware of?
The presence of free fluid in the pod can be a sign of ovulation or early pregnancy. It is not a definitive indicator of pregnancy on its own. Further evaluation and monitoring may be needed to determine the exact cause.

I've been taking one meftal spas tablet on the first day of my periods to deal with painful cramps, and it usually helps with the pain pretty quickly. But I've noticed that my bleeding has really lessened over time. I only bleed for around two days now, and then there's just a bit of brown or blackish discharge. I'm wondering if the medication could be causing this change, or could there be some other reason for it?
Reduced bleeding and the brown or black spotting you are experiencing could be due to the use of Meftal Spas tablet. Meftal Spas contains a combination of Dicyclomine and Mefenamic Acid, which is commonly used to relieve menstrual pain and cramps. However, if you are concerned about the changes in your menstrual bleeding pattern, it is advisable to consult with your gynecologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm a bit concerned because my recent TVS scan at 5 weeks and 5 days showed the yolk sac and fetal pole, but there wasn't a heartbeat detected yet. Should I be worried? Is it possible that the heartbeat will be detected in the next scan? Can you offer some guidance on what this might mean?
At 5 weeks and 5 days of pregnancy, it is not uncommon for the fetal heartbeat to not be detected yet. It is possible that the heartbeat may be detected in your next scan. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and monitoring.
