I'm supposed to have sex during this specific period like my doctor suggested, but I've suddenly come down with a fever. Is it safe or advisable to proceed with sex while I'm not feeling well?

It's generally advisable to avoid sexual activity when you have a fever, as your body is already fighting an infection and may need rest. Engaging in sex could potentially strain your immune system further. It's important to prioritize your health and consult with your doctor for personalized guidance.

I'm really confused and worried after my sister took a pregnancy test on the doctor's advice because she missed her period. The test showed a very faint pink line on the control line and a prominent pink line on the test line. Does this mean the test is positive or negative? Also, she took the i-pill within 24 hours of having unprotected contact. Can you help me understand what this all means?

Test is positive , do another time for confirmation
