I'm thinking about family planning with my partner, and we'd rather just focus on each other and not have kids for now. Could you give some advice on effective ways to prevent childbirth while still maintaining a healthy relationship? Would really appreciate your expert insight on this!

Family planning is a personal decision, and it's great that you and your partner are on the same page.

View allI'm 19 weeks pregnant and finally conceived after trying for a year. I'm really concerned because I've started noticing blood threads when I pee, even though my level 2 ultrasound came back normal. The doctors in Srinagar haven't figured out the cause yet. Could you please help me understand what's going on?

I'm a bit worried because my last menstrual period was on April 27, 2017, and when I took a home pregnancy test on June 4, it came out positive. I got a blood test on Tuesday with an hCG level of 12579.68. Then, I went for an ultrasound on June 6th. They saw a sac with a fetus, but there was no heartbeat. I'm currently 6 weeks pregnant, and its been two days since that ultrasound. Is it okay for me to go for another ultrasound today to check for a heartbeat?
It is recommended to wait at least one week after the first ultrasound to check for the heartbeat. You can go for another ultrasound around 7 weeks of pregnancy to have a better chance of detecting the fetal heartbeat.

I'm really confused right now since my period is 36 days late. I took a pregnancy test two weeks back and it came out negative, but I'm experiencing a bunch of pregnancy symptoms. I'm not sure what to do next. Should I be worried about something else going on? What steps should I take from here?
It's important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can consider taking a different brand of pregnancy test or a blood test for a more accurate result. If pregnancy is ruled out and your period is still delayed, your doctor may recommend further investigations or prescribe medication such as Provera (medroxyprogesterone) to help induce a period.
