I am 8 days late for my period, and when I tested, I saw two lines, one dark and one light. I had an ultrasound, and the doctor said my endometrium is thick but no gestational sac was visible, possibly because the embryo is still implanting. So, I would like to ask if being late for my period, having a thick endometrium, and not seeing the gestational sac means I am pregnant?

I have swelling in the lymph nodes of the labia majora. Initially, it didn't hurt, but when I walk or sit, it becomes painful. So, I would like to ask if swelling in the labia majora is a sign of a medical condition? What is the treatment? Thank you, doctor.

My husband and I had intercourse less than 24 hours after ovulation. Four weeks after that, I confirmed my pregnancy. So, I would like to ask: “Is it possible to get pregnant if having sex after ovulation?” However, I did not experience a missed period and seemed to conceive immediately. This situation makes my husband suspicious, causing me distress and tired. Could you please advise? Thank you very much.

Question Dear Doctor, I am currently more than 3 months pregnant, but due to some circumstances, I have not been able to have an ultrasound yet. For about 2 weeks now, I've noticed a hard lump in my lower abdomen. I can feel it more when I lie down, and it becomes more prominent when I use the restroom. I would like to ask, what could this hard lump in a pregnant woman's lower abdomen indicate, and is it something to be concerned about?

I had unprotected sex two weeks after my abortion, and I need to know if I could become pregnant. Ten days later, I experienced light bleeding and a dull pain in my lower abdomen. I took a pregnancy test, which showed two lines, but one line was faint. Can you confirm if it’s possible to get pregnant just two weeks after an abortion? Also, does the bleeding and dull pain I experienced indicate that I am pregnant again?

I am an 18 year old female, and since the age of, 13 I've known how to masturbate. At first, I only attempted to stimulate myself via external touch, and without internal penetration. However, at around 14 years old, there was an incident when I was toileting; I observed that my urine had a bloody color. I used to think that was my first period, but in actuality my menstruation cycle did not start until I was 15 years old. When I turned 17, I tried to insert my finger into my vagina to feel for the hymen, but I couldn’t seem to find it. Hence, I want to have some counseling from the doctor. Do signs of bleeding after masturbation mean that the hymen has been torn?

Dear doctor, I had a reproductive health checkup and did some tests. All the biochemistry and endocrinology results were normal. However, my hematology test showed low MCV and MCH. My doctor suggested that my husband should also have a hematology test to see if his MCV and MCH are also low, as he is worried that if both of us have low levels, our child might have thalassemia. So doctor, how can I improve low MCV and MCH levels? What should we do if my husband's test results are also low? Thank you.

I had my first child by cesarean section 8 years ago and got my period back 1 month after giving birth. Now, it's been more than 3 months since I had my second child by cesarean section and I still haven't had my period back. Both children are exclusively breastfed. Do I have any problems? How long does it take for the first-period return after a cesarean section?
