Amniotic fluid shouldn't have a sticky consistency. If you notice something sticky or a thick whitish residue in your underwear, it's unlikely to be your waters. It is more likely to be heavy vaginal discharge or signs of your mucus plug.

Question

I had unprotected sex last night and now I'm noticing slight blood clots in my urine and mucus. My vagina didnt naturally lubricate, and that's never been an issue before. I haven't found any friction marks. I also took the morning-after pill and have been having this brownish discharge today. My period's supposed to start next week, but I know the emergency pill can mess with that. What's going on with the bleeding?

Question

I'm wondering if the anomaly scan in the second trimester is necessary if I've already had an NT scan and double marker test. Could you share some insight on this?

Question

I've noticed that my period has been longer than usual, lasting up to 10 days, and I took a pregnancy test but it came back negative. Then, I experienced very light bleeding mixed with a watery discharge for a couple of days. Lately, I've been dealing with a pretty bad pain on my right side and it's affecting my back too. I'm really concerned and would love to get some advice on what might be going on and what I should do next. Any thoughts?
