  1. Uterine Fibroids and Menstrual Changes:

    • Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths that often cause heavy or prolonged periods.
    • It is uncommon for fibroids to cause periods to stop completely (amenorrhea).
  2. Possible Causes for Stopped Periods:

    • Consider other causes like hormonal imbalances, stress, pregnancy, or other medical conditions.
    • Large fibroids might affect the uterine lining or blood flow, but complete cessation is unusual.
  3. Recommended Action:

    • Consult a gynecologist for evaluation, which may include ultrasound and hormone tests.
    • A healthcare provider can help determine the cause and recommend appropriate treatment.

I'm really stressed out and need some advice. Is there a possibility I could be pregnant? We had unprotected sex two days before I was supposed to get my period. My cycles usually between 31 and 33 days. We did it on day 31, three times, and he always pulled out before finishing. I also made sure he peed after every time. But now Im worried because I read online that precum can make you pregnant. What do you think?

Although the chances are low, pregnancy is possible even with the pull-out method and precum exposure; considering your cycle and timing, take a home pregnancy test 4-5 days after your missed period for accurate results, and if you're concerned or experience symptoms, consult a gynaecologist

I'm 38 weeks pregnant and I've noticed a watery discharge with some white in it since this morning. Could this mean my water is breaking? I'm really worried and would love some advice on what steps to take next.

It sounds like you may be experiencing a watery discharge, which could be a sign of your water breaking, but it can also be normal pregnancy discharge. Its important to check if the fluid is clear, odorless, and continues to flow, which may indicate your water has broken. I recommend calling your doctor or going to the hospital to get checked for peace of mind.
