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'm still a virgin and I'm really curious about what to expect the first time I have intercourse. Does it hurt a lot and is bleeding normal? If it does bleed, how long should I expect that to last? Also, I've noticed I can insert a finger into my vaginadoes that mean I don't have a hymen anymore? I'd love some clarity on all this.

First-time intercourse can be painful and may cause bleeding due to hymenal tearing, but this varies from person to person; bleeding, if it occurs, usually lasts a few hours to a few days; being able to insert a single finger into the vagina doesn't necessarily mean you don't have a hymen, as hymens come in different shapes and sizes, and some may be more elastic or flexible.

So I had a scan at 8 weeks, and they saw an empty sac, no yolk sac, no fetal pole. I've just done a repeat scan, and now there's a yolk sac measuring 3.5mm. Should I just hang in there a bit longer, or does this mean it's not going to work out? Is there any chance things might turn around? My last menstrual period was on November 24, 2020.
