I'm about a month and 6 days late for my period, and I'm starting to get really worried. I've been feeling nauseous, my nipples are sore, and I'm a lot more sensitive to smells than usual. I've taken a home pregnancy test three times now, but each time, the test line shows up faint. The faint line appears less than 23 minutes after the urine flows onto the test pad. I'm really anxious about whether I might be pregnant or not. Could you help me understand what's going on?

I have a 12 cm fibroid in my uterus are there any treatment options besides surgery or medications that could help shrink it? I'm really hoping to avoid an operation if possible
Yes, there are treatment options besides surgery or medications that can potentially help shrink a 12 cm fibroid, though they may not be suitable for all cases. Uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) is a minimally invasive procedure that can block the blood supply to the fibroid, causing it to shrink. Another option is MRI-guided focused ultrasound (FUS), which uses high-energy sound waves to destroy the fibroid.
