I'm feeling a bit concerned and confused. Our gynecologist recommended this 'suggest 200' medication after a cervical scan showed my wife has a low-lying placenta at four months pregnant. I've read that taking this isn't usually advised during pregnancy. Could you shed some light on this? Is it safe, and should we be worried about potential effects?

I was with my boyfriend on December 31st and we got intimate, but there was no penetration and no ejaculation near my vagina. Could just rubbing our genitals lead to pregnancy? It's been five days and I'm feeling a little tightness in my lower belly. Could this just be anxiety or stress? My last period started on December 20th. What should I do?

Rubbing genitals without penetration and ejaculation near the vagina typically doesn't lead to pregnancy, but there's a very small risk if sperm comes in contact with the vaginal area. The tightness you're feeling could be due to anxiety, especially since your period was only a week ago. If you're concerned, taking a home pregnancy test or consulting with a healthcare provider can help ease your mind.

I'm usually pretty regular with my menstrual cycle, like 30 to 32 days. But this month, I'm 18 days late, and I'm not sure why. I've done both urine and blood pregnancy tests, and they're negative. I'm not stressed or on any meds, so I'm really confused about what's going on. Any ideas on what might be causing this? What should I do next?

Given your regular 30-32 day menstrual cycle and negative pregnancy tests, the missed period could be due to various factors, such as hormonal imbalance, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), thyroid issues, or other underlying medical conditions; other potential causes include weight changes, travel, or environmental factors; consider consulting a gynecologist for a thorough evaluation
