I'm really worried about something that happened with my friend. Her boyfriend fingered her, and she's freaking out about the possibility of pregnancy. They aren't sure if there might have been anything on his fingers. Can you explain if pregnancy is possible from fingering in this situation?

It is highly unlikely that pregnancy would occur from fingering, as sperm would need to be directly introduced into the vagina for fertilization to happen. However, if there is a possibility that semen was on the fingers and they were introduced into the vagina, it's still a very low risk, but I would recommend speaking to a healthcare provider for further reassurance and guidance.

I'm noticing some stringy brown discharge for about a week now whenever I wipe. My period's due on the 28th of May, and we're trying for a baby. Can you tell me what's going on with this?

You may be experiencing ovulation bleeding, which can sometimes occur when you are trying to conceive. It is usually nothing to worry about and can be a sign of fertility. However, if you are concerned, you can try taking folic acid supplements to support your fertility.

I'm worried because I took Deviry 10mg, two tablets for 5 days from January 24th to 28th, and now it's been 11 days and I still haven't gotten my period. I have PCOD and my TSH level is 2.7. Could there be something wrong, or is there any reason it's taking so long?
