I'm really worried about something that happened with my friend. Her boyfriend fingered her, and she's freaking out about the possibility of pregnancy. They aren't sure if there might have been anything on his fingers. Can you explain if pregnancy is possible from fingering in this situation?

It is highly unlikely that pregnancy would occur from fingering, as sperm would need to be directly introduced into the vagina for fertilization to happen. However, if there is a possibility that semen was on the fingers and they were introduced into the vagina, it's still a very low risk, but I would recommend speaking to a healthcare provider for further reassurance and guidance.

I had unprotected sex on the 15th of May, the day after my period ended. I took an Unwanted 72 pill afterward, but then my period returned on the 19th of May and hasn't stopped since. I'm 19 years old and really worried about this. What should I do?

It seems like the unwanted 72 pill may have caused a hormonal imbalance leading to prolonged bleeding. I recommend you to take Tranexamic acid 500mg thrice a day for 3-5 days to help stop the excessive bleeding. If the bleeding persists or becomes heavy, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.

I had a sterilization procedure done 8 years ago after having two daughters. Now I'm hoping to have a boy is there any treatment or surgery that could help me conceive again? What options do I have?

Sterilization reversal is complex and rarely successful; IVF with gender selection is illegal in India but consult fertility specialist for safe advice.
