Can sperm actually get through cotton clothes and cause a pregnancy? My girlfriend and I were fooling around with dry humping. We both had on our underwear and shorts, but she's now late on her period. Should we be worried about pregnancy?

Pregnancy Likelihood
- Sperm cannot pass through cotton clothes or underwear. Pregnancy from dry humping with clothes on is extremely unlikely.
Missed Period Causes
- A missed period can result from various factors, including stress or hormonal changes, not just pregnancy.
Next Steps
- If pregnancy is a concern, consider taking a home pregnancy test for reassurance.
Further Action
- Consult a healthcare provider if there are ongoing concerns or irregularities in the menstrual cycle.

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?

That could be vitamin deficiency, consume more fruits and vegetables and visit Dermatologist for appropriate management

I'm a 32-year-old married woman who had an ovarian cyst removed 5 years ago along with my left ovary, so now only my right ovary is left. Recently my doctor suggested an MRI pelvis and S.AMH test my S.AMH result was 2.33, and the current ovarian cyst size is 4.5x4.3 cm. Is this cyst really dangerous enough to require surgery, or can it be treated with medicines? I'm really worried and need advice

With an ovarian cyst of 4.5 cm, if it‚Äôs benign, medications like birth control pills or hormone therapy can sometimes manage it. Surgery may be necessary if it causes pain or grows. The S.AMH level of 2.33 suggests ovarian reserve is still reasonable, but discuss options with your gynecologist.
