I'm 17 weeks pregnant and I'm wondering if it's possible to hear my baby's heartbeat using a Doppler device at this stage, or is it still too early for that?

Persistent Cough After Antibiotics and Cough Syrup
Concerns and Next Steps
- Incomplete treatment: Azithromycin is typically prescribed for 5-7 days. A 3-day course might not have fully cleared the infection.
- Underlying conditions: Persistent cough can be a symptom of various conditions, such as bronchitis, pneumonia, allergies, or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
- Further evaluation needed: Consult your doctor to reassess your symptoms and determine the best course of action.
Recommended Actions
- Schedule a follow-up appointment: Visit your doctor to discuss your persistent cough and determine if additional testing or treatment is necessary.
- Get a chest X-ray or other tests: Your doctor may order a chest X-ray, spirometry, or other tests to rule out underlying conditions.
- Consider alternative treatments: Depending on the underlying cause, your doctor may prescribe additional medications, such as bronchodilators, antihistamines, or acid reflux medications.

I'm really worried because on February 10th, my boyfriend and I had non-penetrative sexual activity where he rubbed his penis on my vagina, and there was some pre-cum and possibly a bit of ejaculation. I read online that you can potentially get pregnant in this way. My last period was on January 23rd, and I'm feeling anxious and stressed that these activities might have made me pregnant. I've also been experiencing some early pregnancy symptoms like burping, gas, constipation, pain in my nipple area, and acne. Could this mean I'm pregnant? Is it really possible to get pregnant from what we did?
