I'm 33 and pregnant, about six months along. I've been keeping an eye on my pulse rate using an oximeter, and it's usually about 100 beats per minute. But today, it spiked to 130 beats per minute. Is this something I should be worried about?

I'm putting this tablet in my vagina at night, but when I check in the morning, it comes out swollen and still in the same shape. Is it actually doing anything?

I'm a bit worried about a recent situation and need some advice. My wife and I had sex on the night of May 19th. Her menstrual cycle is about 26 days long, and her last period started on May 11th. We got concerned because we thought it might have been her fertile window, so she took an emergency contraceptive pill the next morning on May 20th. What are the chances she could still get pregnant given the timing and everything?
