I'm really trying to understand what's happening with my body. My period is now 5 days late, and I've taken a home pregnancy test twice, but both times it was negative. I've noticed some white vaginal discharge and it sometimes burns. I'm also feeling really tired all the time, have some lower back pain, and I'm just generally frustrated. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

Given your symptoms, consider taking a blood pregnancy test (beta hCG) for more accurate results, and consult your gynecologist to rule out other conditions, such as yeast infections (causing discharge and burning), polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), or other hormonal imbalances, which may be contributing to your fatigue, back pain, and frustration, and also discuss fertility options and potential underlying causes for delayed conception.

Im really worried about having an abortion and need some advice. It's my first pregnancy, and I'm considering it in the very early stages, around the 34th week. Is it safe to do so at this point? And if it is, what's the best way to go about it? I just want to make sure I'm making the right choices for my health.

Medical abortion is considered safe and effective up to 10 weeks of pregnancy, and for 3-4 weeks, it's typically done using pills like mifepristone and misoprostol; however, it's crucial to consult a gynecologist for guidance, prescription, and follow-up care to ensure a safe and successful abortion.
