I'm in a bit of a dilemma here. I had a cerclage done at 20 weeks, and now I'm thinking about heading back to my hometown. The doctor mentioned it might be okay to travel after 28 weeks, but I'm still feeling unsure. I'm considering a long car trip of about 45 hours sometime during my 28th to 32nd week. Do you think that's safe?

Traveling between 28-32 weeks is generally considered safe for most women, but since you have a cervical cerclage, its important to discuss this in detail with your healthcare provider. If your doctor gives you the go-ahead and you are feeling well, taking necessary precautions during travel (frequent breaks, hydration, proper seatbelt use) should be fine. Avoid traveling if you're experiencing complications, and always have a backup plan for medical assistance.

Question

I'm hoping to get pregnant and had an HCG injection of 5000ui on the 15th and 17th days, with ovulation confirmed on the 18th day. I took a UPT on the 32nd day and it was positive. Could the result be a false positive because of the injections or could I really be pregnant? I also have hypothyroidism.

Question

I'm really worried about my girlfriend. On Monday, I fingered her and since then she had continuous pain which lasted until Friday. Now, it seems to have lessened to just once a day. When I was fingering her, it felt like I was hitting something. Can you help diagnose what's going on and suggest any treatment options? Also, if there's a way to contact you, can you let me know?
