My wife and I have been trying for a baby for a few months now. This month, her period lasted only half a day and it was just spots. Could this be a sign of pregnancy? We did a pregnancy test two days later, but it came out negative. Last time her period was 17 days late, but this month it was actually on time. This is the first time something like this has happened. Could there be something else going on? What's your take on this situation?

It is possible that a short and light period could be a sign of implantation bleeding, which can occur when a fertilized egg attaches to the uterine lining. However, since the pregnancy test was negative, it is less likely that this was due to pregnancy. A short and light period could be due to various reasons such as hormonal changes, stress, or changes in lifestyle. It is also possible that the menstrual cycle may vary occasionally without indicating a serious issue. If this pattern continues or if there are other concerning symptoms, it is advisable to consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation.

View allWhat kegel exercises will improve your sex life?
Exercises that target pelvic floor muscles are to be done.To find your pelvic floor muscles, stop urinating in midstream or tighten the muscles that keep you from passing gas. Both actions use your pelvic floor muscles. Once you've identified your pelvic floor muscles, you can exercise them in any position. However, you might find it easier to do them lying down at first. Tighten your pelvic floor muscles, hold for three seconds and then relax for three seconds. Try it a few times in a row. When your muscles get stronger, try doing Kegel exercises while sitting, standing or walking. For best results, focus on tightening only your pelvic floor muscles. Be careful not to flex the muscles in your abdomen, thighs or buttocks. Avoid holding your breath. Instead, breathe freely during the exercises. Repeat three times a day. Aim to do at least three sets of 10 repetitions a day.

I'm newly married and have been experiencing a lot of cuts near my vagina during sex. It's really painful and I'm not sure what to do to help these wounds heal. Can you give me some advice on how to treat them?
As a newly married individual experiencing painful cuts near the vagina during sex, prioritize your comfort and health by trying the following: apply a topical antibiotic ointment and cover with a breathable dressing to promote healing; take warm baths with baking soda or colloidal oatmeal to soothe the area; use a lubricant during sex to reduce friction; practice gentle and gradual intimacy; and consider consulting a gynecologist for personalized advice and treatment

I'm really worried and I hope you can help me. I just found out I'm pregnant, about 6 weeks along, but I started having brown spotting, which really freaked me out. So I went to see my doctor, and they did a TVS. They found a single intrauterine gestational sac, but no yolk sac or heartbeat yet, and the sac looked irregular in the report. My doctor said the fetus seems weak right now and wants me to come back for another scan in two weeks. They've put me on a weekly Susten 200 injection. Not seeing the yolk sac or heartbeat at this stage, does it mean it could be a nonviable pregnancy? Is there a chance the yolk sac might appear by the time I go for the next scan? I'm trying to prepare myself mentally just in case things dont turn out well, but I really dont know what to expect. What are the chances things could improve in these two weeks?
