I'm kind of worried because my wife's pregnancy test at home came back positive, and when we got a urine HCG test done at the lab, it was positive too. The thing is, she's about 5 weeks along, but the ultrasound didn't show a gestational sac. Does this mean she's actually pregnant, or should we be concerned?

I took Primolut N for 10 days twice daily to delay my periods, and I've stopped it for the past 3 days. When can I expect my periods to start again? Also, I have a thyroid problem, so is that going to affect anything?

After stopping Primolut N, you can expect your periods to resume within 3-7 days, but this timeframe may vary due to individual hormonal responses and your pre-existing thyroid condition, which can affect menstrual regularity; monitor your body's response and consult your gynecologist if your periods are delayed beyond 7-10 days or if you experience any unusual symptoms.

How many days after period can you not get pregnant?

You're most fertile at the time of ovulation (when an egg is released from your ovaries), which usually occurs 12 to 14 days before your next period starts. This is the time of the month when you're most likely to get pregnant. It's unlikely that you'll get pregnant just after your period, although it can happen.
