It is not reliable to determine pregnancy by checking your pulse. While some changes in heart rate can occur during pregnancy, they are not specific or consistent enough to confirm pregnancy.
Key points to consider:
-
Pulse changes: Pregnancy can cause a slight increase in resting heart rate, but this varies widely among individuals and can be influenced by many other factors like stress, activity, or illness.
-
Reliable methods: The most accurate ways to confirm pregnancy are through home pregnancy tests that detect hCG hormone in urine, or a blood test and ultrasound performed by a healthcare provider.
-
When to test: If you suspect pregnancy due to missed periods or other symptoms, taking a pregnancy test after a missed period is recommended.
-
Consult a doctor: For confirmation and prenatal care, visiting a healthcare professional is important.
In summary, checking your pulse is not a dependable method to tell if you are pregnant. Using a pregnancy test and consulting a healthcare provider are the best steps to take if you think you might be pregnant.

I have a 4.4cm functional follicular cyst on my left ovary with benign features but my periods have been irregular and frequent happening twice recently Will this cyst resolve on its own or do I need surgery
A functional follicular cyst of this size is likely to resolve on its own. It's common for them to disappear within a few months, and your doctor may recommend a "wait-and-see" approach with a follow-up ultrasound to monitor its size. If the cyst doesn't resolve or if you experience symptoms like pain or pelvic fullness, surgery might be considered. Surgery is also recommended if the cyst is very large or if there's suspicion of a more complex cyst

I'm a bit worried because my last menstrual period started on October 21st. On October 28th, my partner and I didn't have actual intercourse, just some rubbing of my vagina over his penis, and he's sure he didnt ejaculate. Just to be safe, I took the ipill on October 30th within 48 hours. Now, Ive been experiencing spotting since November 4th. It started with a few drops, then got heavier and red on the 5th, became even more on the 6th but was brown, and today, November 7th, the bleeding is red. Does this mean there's no chance of pregnancy?
Yes no need to worry you are not pregnant
