Bleeding during pregnancy can be alarming, but it's common, especially in the first trimester, affecting up to 25% of women. Since your urine test still shows you're pregnant, it's essential to consult your healthcare provider to determine the cause and ensure your baby's health. They may perform an ultrasound and physical exam to assess the situation. In the meantime, keep track of the bleeding's color, consistency, and amount, as well as any other symptoms like cramping or pain

I recently had an USG that showed a mild retroflexed uterus. Could this cause any issues in the future? Is it something that can correct itself naturally or would I need surgery or medication for it?

I'm kinda worried and need some advice. So, on 19th October, me and my girlfriend got pretty close. It was the 22nd day of her cycle. We had some intimate contact, like rubbing our private parts, but there was no actual penetration or ejaculation. Maybe a little precum was involved. I'm just really concernedcould she possibly get pregnant from this?

While the risk of pregnancy from pre-ejaculate is low, it is not entirely zero, especially if sperm came into contact with the vaginal area. Since your girlfriend was on the 22nd day of her cycle, it was near her ovulation period, which can increase the chance of pregnancy. If you're concerned, it's advisable to take a home pregnancy test or consult a doctor.
