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.

View allI've got these blisters on one of the lips of my vagina, and it's super painful. I've been experiencing some burning and itchiness too. I always have protected sex, but about a few weeks ago, I did receive oral sex. Should I be worried about this? What could it be?
Blisters on one lip of your vagina along with pain and itching could be indicative of genital herpes. Since you mentioned receiving oral sex a few weeks ago, it is possible that you have contracted herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) genitally. I recommend taking antiviral medication such as Acyclovir (400mg three times a day) or Valacyclovir (1 gram twice a day) to help manage the symptoms and reduce the duration of the outbreak. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry, wearing loose cotton underwear, and avoiding sexual contact until the blisters have healed can help in the healing process.

I'm 22 and haven't had sex in over a year, but I'm having issues with irregular periods. I saw a gynecologist who said I need a blood test and ultrasound to figure out what's going on. She mentioned it might be due to some fat above my uterus. I'm curious, can she find out if I'm a virgin from those tests?
No
