I'm 22 weeks pregnant and I'm curious about whether I'm having a baby boy or girl since my urine pH is 6.5. I've been told I have an anterior placenta in the upper segment, and that my baby is on the left side. Can you tell me if any of these details might indicate the baby's gender?

View allI've been experiencing some clear watery discharge recently, and I'm a bit concerned. I had sex about a week or two ago, and I'm wondering if this could be an early sign of pregnancy or just PMS symptoms. My period is supposed to start on April 8th. What do you think?

I had sex on April 28 around 11 pm and I think the condom broke because I heard a popping sound. So I took Plan B the next day, April 29, at 10 pm. I had just finished my last period on April 27, and my flow chart says I'm supposed to start ovulating 7 days after taking the emergency pill. Will Plan B still be effective if I ovulate 7 days later? I'm also having some minor side effects like pelvic pain on the left sideis that normal?
Plan B is most effective when taken as soon as possible after unprotected sex. It can work by preventing or delaying ovulation. Taking Plan B within 24 hours of unprotected sex is more effective than taking it later. As for the pelvic pain from the left side, it is not a common side effect of Plan B. However, some women may experience abdominal pain or cramping as a side effect. If the pain is severe or persistent, it is recommended to consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I've consulted with you a couple of times about my PCOS and irregular periods. You mentioned using devire and krimson 35. Could you guide me on when exactly I should start taking krimson 35 in relation to my period cycle? I've been a bit confused about timing it right.
Papaya and Pregnancy Prevention _No Scientific Evidence_ There is no scientific evidence to support the claim that papaya can prevent pregnancy after regular sex. _Papaya's Effect on Fertility_ Papaya contains an enzyme called papain, which may have anti-fertility effects in large quantities. However, eating papaya after sex will not prevent pregnancy. _Effectiveness of Post-Coital Papaya Consumption_ Eating papaya 20 hours after sex is unlikely to have any effect on preventing pregnancy. Sperm can survive inside the female reproductive tract for up to 5 days, and ovulation can occur at any time. _Reliable Contraception Methods_ To prevent pregnancy, consider using reliable contraception methods, such as: 1. Condoms 2. Birth control pills 3. Intrauterine devices (IUDs) 4. Emergency contraception (e.g., Plan B) _What to Do Next_ If your girlfriend is concerned about pregnancy, she can: 1. Take a pregnancy test after 3-4 weeks. 2. Consider emergency contraception (if within 72 hours of sex). 3. Consult a healthcare provider for guidance on contraception and reproductive health.
