I'm really confused about my pregnancy test results. I took a Prega News test and there was only one line, but I noticed that the HCG absorbent paper turned pink after about 3 minutes. My period is supposed to start on the 28th of this month. I even took the test yesterday and it came back negative. Does the pink color on the absorbent paper mean there's HCG hormone present?

I'm currently 21 weeks pregnant and wondering if it's safe to get my eyebrows threaded. Could it affect the baby in any way?

Threading your eyebrows during pregnancy, specifically at 21 weeks, is generally considered safe for the baby, as it's a superficial procedure that doesn't involve any chemicals or invasive techniques that could harm the fetus; however, it's essential to ensure the threading salon follows proper hygiene and sanitation procedures to minimize the risk of infection.

I'm a female having issues with my sex life. I used to have a really healthy sexual relationship with my boyfriend, but for the past few months, I just haven't been feeling the urge to connect like before. It's been over six months now. I tried to get things going once, but ended up feeling pain which didn't happen earlier with the same partner. I'm kinda worried about what's going on with me and wondering what I can do to get things back to normal. Any ideas?

Can periods just stop at 49?

Menopause is the time that marks the end of your menstrual cycles. It's diagnosed after you've gone 12 months without a menstrual period. Menopause can happen in your 40s or 50s, but the average age is 51 in India.
