Is it okay to have sex during the early stages of pregnancy? Could it cause a miscarriage or bring on my period? I'm also curious about whether it's safe if I'm planning to get pregnant soon.

Generally, having intercourse during the early stages of pregnancy (up to 12 weeks) or while trying to conceive is safe and unlikely to cause miscarriage or induce periods; however, it's essential to practice safe sex to prevent infections, and women with a history of miscarriage, cervical insufficiency, or placenta previa

I had unprotected sex last night and now I'm noticing slight blood clots in my urine and mucus. My vagina didnt naturally lubricate, and that's never been an issue before. I haven't found any friction marks. I also took the morning-after pill and have been having this brownish discharge today. My period's supposed to start next week, but I know the emergency pill can mess with that. What's going on with the bleeding?

The slight blood clots in your urine and mucus, along with brownish discharge, could be due to several factors, including urinary tract irritation, vaginal dryness, or a possible urinary tract infection (UTI); however, given your recent unprotected sex and morning-after pill intake, it's essential to consult a healthcare provider or gynecologist to rule out any sexually transmitted infections (STIs) or other complications, and to receive guidance on managing your symptoms and adjusting to any changes in your menstrual cycle.
