Some women may have very early symptoms but certainty of pregnancy confirmation is low until she misses her period.

Pregnancy Detection Timeline
It is not possible to confirm pregnancy the day after unprotected sex. The body requires time to produce detectable levels of pregnancy hormones.
Reliable Testing Period
A pregnancy test is typically reliable about 10-14 days after conception, when the hormone hCG can be detected in urine.
Testing Recommendations
- Wait at least a week after a missed period before taking a home pregnancy test.
- Consult a healthcare provider for more accurate testing options if needed.
Emergency Contraception
If concerned about pregnancy risk, discuss emergency contraception options with a healthcare professional promptly.

Question

I'm a bit worried because I notice that I bleed after having oral sex with myself. There's no pain, but I do start bleeding once I orgasm. The blood seems to be fresh. What could this mean?

I'm recently married, and every time I have sex with my husband, it's really painful because my vagina feels so tight. I'm wondering if using coconut or sesame oil during intercourse might help. But I'm also worried if these oils could affect my chances of getting pregnant. Are there any oils that are safe to use that won't impact pregnancy?

Question

I've been noticing this white sticky discharge coming from my vagina and I'm worried. I already tried some treatments, but they didn't seem to help at all. Is this something normal, or should I be concerned?
