I've got a question about pregnancy risks and I'm a little worried. If I touched sperm, then cleaned my hands by rubbing them together, and later inserted a finger into my girlfriend's vagina, is there any chance she could get pregnant?

Even with clean hands, there's still a risk of pregnancy if sperm comes into contact with the vagina, as sperm can survive on skin and surfaces for up to 20-30 minutes; however, the chances of pregnancy from this scenario are relatively low, but not impossible, so it's essential to use proper birth control methods or consult a healthcare professional for guidance.

What are some non-surgical options for treating fibroids on the inner wall of my uterus if I'm trying to get pregnant? I'm worried about how it might affect my chances of conceiving and want to explore other treatments before considering surgery.

If trying to conceive, medical therapies like GnRH agonists or uterine artery embolization may help shrink fibroids.

I'm 8 weeks pregnant and I've learned that my blood group is O negative while my husband's is O positive. The doctor mentioned that I need to get an injection in the 8th month. I'm feeling really anxious about what this means for me and the baby. Is there something I should be worried about here? Could you please explain?

I'm planning to start a clinic and lab in a month and I'm in need of a few doctors. Specifically, I'm looking for a radiologist, a general physician, dentists, and a gynecologist. Could you share some advice on how to find the best candidates and any key qualities I should look for in these roles?

Don't worry, it's normal to experience on-and-off morning sickness symptoms during early pregnancy. Hormonal fluctuations can cause varying levels of nausea and vomiting. Since you had a recent ultrasound confirming a healthy fetal heartbeat, it's likely that your symptoms are just subsiding temporarily. However, to alleviate your concerns, consider scheduling a follow-up ultrasound to reassess the pregnancy.
