I'm experiencing swollen breasts for the past two weeks, and my periods are due on May 29th. I took a pregnancy test and it came back negative. Should I see a doctor? Is it possible to detect pregnancy before a missed period?

My wife's pregnancy is going fine, but she noticed some blood spotting twice today, along with brown discharge. Her last period was on April 9th. Our doctor gave her pubergen and ethasyl injections. Is this something we should be worried about, or is it normal? What should I do next?

The bleeding and brown discharge may be implantation bleeding or a threatened miscarriage, but the doctor's administration of Pubergen (progesterone) and Ethasyl (ethyl estradiol) suggests they're taking precautions to support the pregnancy; closely follow the doctor's advice, ensure your wife rests, stays hydrated, and attends follow-up appointments to monitor the pregnancy's progress, and avoid self-medication or excessive worry, as the doctor's intervention aims to mitigate potential risks.
