I'm on my 14th day after IUI and I've been taking progesterone tablets. I've noticed some white discharge. Could this be a sign of my period or maybe pregnancy? I'm wondering when I should take a pregnancy test.

The white discharge you are experiencing could be a symptom of early pregnancy. It is common to have an increase in vaginal discharge during pregnancy. To confirm whether you are pregnant or not, you can take a pregnancy test. It is recommended to wait at least 14 days after the IUI procedure before taking a pregnancy test for accurate results.

I've been having these painful and burning bumps down there that I think are vaginal boils. It's really uncomfortable. I'm also dealing with some white discharge. Could you guide me on what I should do or take to help with these issues?
Medications and Constipation_ 1. _Codeine_: A common side effect of codeine is constipation, which can be exacerbated by other medications like antibiotics. 2. _Paracetamol_: While paracetamol is less likely to cause constipation, it can contribute to the problem when combined with other medications. _Laxative Use Precautions_ 1. _Consult your healthcare provider_: Before taking any laxative, including Senokot, consult your healthcare provider to discuss the best approach for managing constipation. 2. _Choose a gentle laxative_: If recommended by your healthcare provider, a gentle laxative like Senokot (containing senna) may be suitable. However, avoid stimulant laxatives or those containing bisacodyl. 3. _Monitor for interactions_: Be aware of potential interactions between laxatives and your prescribed medications, such as antibiotics and codeine. 4. _Adequate hydration_: Drink plenty of water to help prevent constipation and facilitate laxative effectiveness. 5. _Dietary adjustments_: Increase fiber intake through foods like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains to help regulate bowel movements. _Alternative Constipation Management Options_ 1. _Prune juice or fiber supplements_: Your healthcare provider may recommend alternative constipation management options, such as prune juice or fiber supplements. 2. _Gastrointestinal motility agents_: In some cases, medications like metoclopramide may be prescribed to help stimulate bowel movements.

I'm feeling pretty anxious right now and I need some advice. So, during sexual activity, the penis didn't actually go into the vagina but was rubbing around the opening a few times, and there was no protection used. I'm just really worried about the possibility of pregnancy from this. Can you help clarify whether this could actually happen?
