I'm trying to figure out the right time for some tests after my period. How many days should I wait for my blood and urine tests to give accurate results? Also, do you think it's necessary to have a physical examination of the vagina to check for a fungal infection? I'm a bit worried and would appreciate your advice.

For accurate blood and urine tests, it's ideal to wait at least 5-7 days after your period ends, as hormone levels and other factors can fluctuate during menstruation. Regarding fungal infections, a physical examination of the vagina is often required to accurately diagnose and treat the condition, as visual inspection and sometimes a swab are necessary for confirmation.

I had a myomectomy surgery five months ago to remove fibroids and now I'm trying to conceive. Recently, I got a follicular scan done on day 10 of my cycle, and the report showed echogenic endometrium. What does echogenic endometrium mean? Does it indicate my uterus hasn't fully healed yet? My endometrium thickness was 8.2mm is that normal for this stage?
An "echogenic endometrium" on a follicular scan means the uterine lining appears brighter or more reflective on ultrasound, indicating it may have some tissue or structures that are not typically present at that stage of the menstrual cycle. While a 5-month period is generally considered a sufficient healing time after myomectomy, the uterus is still recovering, and an echogenic endometrium could be linked to residual scarring or tissue changes from the surgery. An 8.2mm endometrium thickness at day 10 of your cycle is generally considered within the normal range for this stage.

I had a laparoscopy for ectopic pregnancy on March 12 how long should I wait before being intimate with my husband again?
After a laparoscopy for ectopic pregnancy, doctors generally recommend waiting 2-3 weeks to resume intercourse and other physical activities. This allows the incisions to heal and the body to recover. However, the decision of when to resume intimacy is ultimately yours and your husband's, and should be based on how you both feel.
