Missed Period After Unprotected Sex and Withdrawal?
Skipping a period for 10 days can be a bit uncertain though having unprotected sex would be a contributor to this situation. Some of the typical examples are fatigue, morning sickness, and breast tenderness. This will happen in the condition of egg fertilization by the sperm. You can take a pregnancy test and also consult a gynecologist.

Can I use a cold cap to treat the flu while 7 weeks pregnant?
It would be medically incorrect to give a cold cap treatment when having a strong flu during pregnancy. As a rule, one should always get a recommendation from the obstetrician or gynecologist prior to starting taking any medicines or applying any treatments.

Can hcg show positive on a pregnancy test strip while la m towards my menses??
Yes definitely it is possible for a pregnancy test to show a positive result while you are approaching your menstrual period. Pregnancy tests detect the presence of the hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in urine, which is typically produced during pregnancy. You can confirm it with another test or urine pregnancy test.

Why do I feel heavy chest and back pain at 20 weeks of pregnancy?
The heaviness in your chest and pain in your back and shoulders could be due to the changes happening in your body as your baby grows. Sometimes, the expanding uterus can press on nerves, causing discomfort. Your hemoglobin level of 9.6 is slightly low, which might contribute to your symptoms. To address this, make sure you're eating iron-rich foods like leafy greens and red meat. Also, try to maintain good posture and consider gentle stretches or prenatal massage for relief. However, it's always best to consult with your gynecologist for a proper evaluation and personalized advice.

Why Did I Miss Periods After Taking Contraceptive Pills?
Sometimes, you might miss your period when taking birth control pills. The hormones in the pills can change things. So, it's normal to have a weird period while adjusting. However, if no period comes soon, take a pregnancy test just to be careful.

Why is my period 6 days late suddenly?
It's understandable to be concerned about a delayed menstrual cycle, especially after having regular periods for several months. Various factors may contribute to this change, such as stress, hormonal fluctuations, changes in weight, or illness. Since you’ve mentioned no recent intercourse, pregnancy is less likely, but not impossible. To ease your mind, I recommend keeping track of your symptoms and perhaps taking a home pregnancy test for reassurance. If your cycle doesn't return soon or if you have additional concerns, please consider consulting a gynecologist for personalized advice and support.
