I'm really worried about my hair lately. Over the past two weeks, I've noticed significant hair loss. Every time I comb my hair, it seems like I lose around 50 to 100 strands, sometimes even more. It's quite alarming because it seems to be getting worse each day. My period cycle is normal, so I'm not sure what's causing this. Could you help me figure out what might be going on?

I'm a bit worried because I had unprotected sex for the first time on Thursday, May 18th, and it was pretty deep. I think my period started the next day or maybe Saturday, and it stopped by Wednesday. It was really heavy for a couple of days and then kind of light. Is there a chance I could be pregnant?

Based on the information you provided, it is possible that you could be pregnant since unprotected sex occurred during your fertile window. To confirm pregnancy, you can take a pregnancy test. If you are concerned about potential pregnancy, you can consider taking an emergency contraceptive pill like Plan B One-Step within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse to reduce the risk of pregnancy.
