I have a 9.6x9.8x9 cm posterior intramural fibroid but my menstrual cycle is normal at 28-30 days with no heavy bleeding, pain, or other symptoms. We're trying to conceive and all other pregnancy-related tests came back normal. Should I consider surgery before trying to get pregnant, or is it safe to attempt conception first and opt for surgery later if needed? I'm worried about how the fibroid might affect my uterus for pregnancy.

I'm 17 and I think I might be pregnant. I'm wondering if there's a way to do a natural home pregnancy test to find out. Also, if I am pregnant, what are my options for ending the pregnancy at just one month? Are there any pills I could take, or would I need to have an operation? I'm kinda worried and need some advice.

HIV Risk Assessment and Vacutainer Needle Safety _Risk of HIV Transmission_ 1. _Low risk_: The 4th generation HIV test at 87 days was negative, indicating a low risk of HIV transmission. 2. _Window period_: Although unlikely, it's essential to consider the window period (the time between exposure and when the test can detect the virus). 3. _Repeat testing_: To confirm the negative result, consider repeating the HIV test at 6 months post-exposure. _Vacutainer Needle Safety_ 1. _Single-use only_: Vacutainer needles are designed for single-use and should never be reused. 2. _Risk of contamination_: Reusing a vacutainer needle can lead to contamination and potential transmission of blood-borne pathogens. 3. _Time gap and risk_: A 7-minute time gap between patients is insufficient to guarantee the needle was not contaminated. _Current Symptoms_ 1. _Unrelated to HIV_: Your symptoms, such as severe fatigue, headache, and swollen lymph nodes, may be unrelated to HIV. 2. _Consult a healthcare professional_: Discuss your symptoms and concerns with a healthcare professional to determine the underlying cause. _Please Note_ 1. _Report the incident_: Inform the lab and local health authorities about the potential needle reuse incident. 2. _Seek medical attention_: If you experience any further symptoms or concerns, seek medical attention promptly.

I'm 29 and dealing with an allergic cough, so I've been taking Montelukast and Omnacortil. Now that I'm pregnant, I'm a bit worriedcan I keep taking these meds? Other treatments haven't been very effective for me. Is it safe for my baby?

It's important to consult your doctor before continuing Montral and Omnacortil during pregnancy. While they may help manage symptoms, both medications have potential risks for the baby. Your doctor can suggest safer alternatives to manage your allergic cough during pregnancy.
