I'm supposed to get my period tomorrow, but it hasn't started yet. I'm feeling those usual period pains, but nothing's happening. Can you suggest some home remedies to help kickstart my period right away?

There is no reason to be concerned if your periods are due the next day. You should allow time for your normal menstrual cycle to take place. If your period is delayed by a more than 1 week, then you should visit the gynecologist for further evaluation.

View allI'm 17 and I think I might be pregnant. I'm wondering if there's a way to do a natural home pregnancy test to find out. Also, if I am pregnant, what are my options for ending the pregnancy at just one month? Are there any pills I could take, or would I need to have an operation? I'm kinda worried and need some advice.
HIV Risk Assessment and Vacutainer Needle Safety _Risk of HIV Transmission_ 1. _Low risk_: The 4th generation HIV test at 87 days was negative, indicating a low risk of HIV transmission. 2. _Window period_: Although unlikely, it's essential to consider the window period (the time between exposure and when the test can detect the virus). 3. _Repeat testing_: To confirm the negative result, consider repeating the HIV test at 6 months post-exposure. _Vacutainer Needle Safety_ 1. _Single-use only_: Vacutainer needles are designed for single-use and should never be reused. 2. _Risk of contamination_: Reusing a vacutainer needle can lead to contamination and potential transmission of blood-borne pathogens. 3. _Time gap and risk_: A 7-minute time gap between patients is insufficient to guarantee the needle was not contaminated. _Current Symptoms_ 1. _Unrelated to HIV_: Your symptoms, such as severe fatigue, headache, and swollen lymph nodes, may be unrelated to HIV. 2. _Consult a healthcare professional_: Discuss your symptoms and concerns with a healthcare professional to determine the underlying cause. _Please Note_ 1. _Report the incident_: Inform the lab and local health authorities about the potential needle reuse incident. 2. _Seek medical attention_: If you experience any further symptoms or concerns, seek medical attention promptly.

I'm currently 22 weeks pregnant and my anomaly scan showed my cervical length at 3.14 cm. My doctor has prescribed me gestofit 300 mg for 30 days as a progesterone supplement. Is this safe for me and the baby? Will it help increase my cervical length? I'd love some advice.
Gestofit 300 mg (progesterone supplement) is generally considered safe for you and your baby, and may help improve cervical length and reduce preterm birth risk, but closely monitor your condition and follow-up with your doctor to adjust the treatment plan as needed.

My girlfriend and I are really worried. Her last period started on March 1st and we had unprotected sex on March 17th. She took an emergency contraception pill just three hours after. Now, weeks later, she's missed her period, and we've taken three pregnancy tests, which all came back positive. She's also been experiencing stomach cramps, lower back pain, headache, nausea, and vomiting. What should we do?
Sounds like your girlfriend may be experiencing symptoms of early pregnancy. The stomach cramps, lower back pain, headache, nausea, and vomiting are common symptoms during the early stages of pregnancy. For nausea and vomiting, she can take Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) 25mg three times a day. For stomach cramps and lower back pain, she can take Acetaminophen 500mg every 6 hours as needed for pain. It is important for her to stay hydrated and eat small, frequent meals to help with the symptoms. I recommend consulting with an obstetrician for further evaluation and management of her pregnancy.
