I've been trying to get pregnant for the last 5 months and even saw a doctor back in April. All my blood tests came back normal, and I've been taking folic acid cor3 and amycordial syrup for a couple of months now. My period was 3 days late this time, and I really thought I might be pregnant, but then I noticed a brown discharge in the morning with some white clots. The blood flow seems really thick. I'm just wondering what could be going on and if there's anything I should be doing differently?

Sometimes even in normal individuals due to action of anticoagulants in the body during heavy menstrual bleeding clots can be seen.....apart from this clots and discharge can be seen in certain uterine abnormality like fibroids in uterus,adenomyosis, endometriosis or hormonal imbalance like thyroid hormone imbalance or oestrogen-progestrone imbalance might also be a cause.this things need investigations like transvaginal ultrasound to ruleout the uterine abnormality. Hormone profile to ruleout any imbalance and most of the times the condition is treatable. So kindly consult a gynecologist for further management to ruleout this things.

I'm feeling a bit concerned. My friend recently hugged her partner, and their lower private parts accidentally touched. She had on underwear and track pants, and he was wearing underwear and shorts. Is there any chance she could get pregnant from that?

No, it's highly unlikely that your friend could get pregnant in this situation. For pregnancy to occur, sperm needs to enter the vagina, which wasn't the case here. It's important to stay informed about safe practices to prevent any worries.
