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've been diagnosed with a few myoma tumors in my uterus and I'm really worried is surgery the only option or are there other treatments I can explore? I'd love to understand my choices better
MRI-guided focused ultrasound (FUS) is a noninvasive treatment option for uterine fibroids that destroys fibroids while preserving the normal uterus. Focused high-frequency, high-energy sound waves are used to target the proteins in fibroids, until they are destroyed.

Had laparoscopic cystectomy for a 7cm dermoid ovarian cyst on October 11th but still feeling sore around the incisions with abdominal pain and backache. How long until full recovery and is flying to another state 20 days after surgery safe?
Full recovery after a laparoscopic cystectomy can take 4-6 weeks, depending on individual factors. Flying 20 days after surgery might be risky if you're still experiencing pain, especially back pain, which can indicate discomfort from the surgery. It's best to consult with your surgeon before making any travel plans.

I've been feeling all the pregnancy symptoms latelynausea, throwing up after eating and even when I just drink water. I'm using the bathroom way more than usual, feeling lightheaded all day, and I've got these strange cramps in my lower stomach. But I only just finished my period about a week ago. My period before this was weird too; it lasted 8 days rather than the usual 3-4 days, though my last one was back to the regular length. Since I've had my tubes tied for almost three years, I'm puzzled. Could there be a chance that I'm pregnant, or what else might be going on?
It sounds like you're experiencing symptoms similar to pregnancy, but since you had your tubes tied and recently had your period, its unlikely you're pregnant. However, if the symptoms persist, it might be worth checking with your doctor to rule out other causes.
