I'm a bit concerned about some lingering pains I've been experiencing after my vacuum-assisted delivery back at the end of November 2016. I still have knee and waist pain, and there's a stitch on the outside of my vagina that's causing a stretching pain. Could you let me know when it might be safe for my husband and I to start being intimate again?

I'm really confused about the result of my home pregnancy test. It showed a faint line along with a dark one. What does this mean about my pregnancy status? Am I pregnant or not? If I am, I'm not really looking to continue with this pregnancy, so I'd like to know what my options are.

A faint line alongside a dark line on a UPT usually indicates a positive result, meaning you may be pregnant. I understand this might be overwhelming. If you're not ready to continue the pregnancy, options such as consulting a healthcare provider for a safe early pregnancy termination can be explored. It's important to discuss your feelings and options with a trusted doctor.
