I'm trying to get pregnant and my husband and I have been having unprotected sex since the 8th day of my cycle, though not every day. We last had sex on the 15th day, which was a Saturday. Today I've noticed a clear, sticky discharge and I'm really confused. Does this mean there's still a chance I could conceive this month, or does it mean I've already ovulated and missed the window? I'm 31 and really anxious to conceive, can you help me understand what's going on?

A woman gets pregnant around the days when ovulation occurs. The average time of ovulation is the 14th day of an average length (28 day) menstrual cycle. Ovulation time vary for each individual, and can occur from 12th to 19th day of the cycle . Sperm can live up to 3 to 5 days in a womans reproductive tract, so it is possible to become pregnant if unprotected sex occurs 5 days before ovulation. The life span of the typical egg is relatively short, only around 24 hours. If fertilization does not occur within that time frame, the egg will die

I'm currently 22 weeks pregnant and my anomaly scan showed my cervical length at 3.14 cm. My doctor has prescribed me gestofit 300 mg for 30 days as a progesterone supplement. Is this safe for me and the baby? Will it help increase my cervical length? I'd love some advice.

Gestofit 300 mg (progesterone supplement) is generally considered safe for you and your baby, and may help improve cervical length and reduce preterm birth risk, but closely monitor your condition and follow-up with your doctor to adjust the treatment plan as needed.

my doctor said I have stage two endometriosis after my first hysterectomy and now they're recommending completion surgery but I'm not getting clear reports can someone explain what this means and what to expect

Stage 2 endometriosis after hysterectomy means residual disease in other pelvic areas; completion surgery removes remaining ovaries or lesions to control symptoms.

I'm really confused right now. My period is two weeks late, but every pregnancy test I've taken says I'm not pregnant. I don't even have any usual pregnancy symptoms, just a missed period. What could be going on here? Should I be worried, and what should I do next?

If your period is 14 days late and pregnancy tests are negative, consider waiting a few more days and retaking the test, then if still negative, consult a gynecologist to rule out other causes of missed periods
