After a laparoscopy for ectopic pregnancy, doctors generally recommend waiting 2-3 weeks to resume intercourse and other physical activities. This allows the incisions to heal and the body to recover. However, the decision of when to resume intimacy is ultimately yours and your husband's, and should be based on how you both feel.

my mri report says i have a 66x57 mm fibroid in my cervix and i really don't want surgery are there other ways to treat this

Yes, options include hormonal therapy, uterine artery embolization, and MRI-guided focused ultrasound. But size and symptoms matter‚Äîsurgical removal (myomectomy or hysterectomy) may be needed if severe.

I'm really worried because I had a small amount of precum on my hand, and I wiped it off. But then, after a few minutes, I used that finger to touch my girlfriend's vagina. We're both virgins, and I'm not sure if this can make her pregnant. Could she be at risk?

The chance of pregnancy in this situation is extremely low, especially if there was minimal precum and no ejaculation. However, if you both are still concerned or if her period is delayed, you can take a home pregnancy test after about 2 weeks. For future peace of mind, consider using contraception during any sexual activity to reduce the risk of pregnancy and STIs.
