So I had a scan at 8 weeks, and they saw an empty sac, no yolk sac, no fetal pole. I've just done a repeat scan, and now there's a yolk sac measuring 3.5mm. Should I just hang in there a bit longer, or does this mean it's not going to work out? Is there any chance things might turn around? My last menstrual period was on November 24, 2020.

Persistent Fever: Next Steps and Zocef Evaluation

Given your symptoms, it's essential to monitor your condition and adjust your treatment plan accordingly.

Zocef (Cefuroxime) Evaluation:

  1. Zocef is a broad-spectrum antibiotic, effective against bacterial infections.
  2. Since your throat pain and cold have subsided, the antibiotic might be targeting a underlying bacterial infection.

Recommended Actions:

  1. Complete the antibiotic course: Finish the prescribed Zocef course to ensure the infection is fully cleared.
  2. Monitor fever and phlegm: Keep track of your temperature and phlegm production. If fever persists or worsens, consult your doctor.
  3. Consider additional tests: If fever persists, your doctor may recommend additional tests, such as a chest X-ray or blood cultures, to rule out other conditions.
  4. Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of fluids to help your body recover.

Consult Your Doctor If:

  1. Fever persists or exceeds 103F (39.4C).
  2. Phlegm production increases or becomes discolored.
  3. You experience shortness of breath, chest pain, or severe headache.

By completing the antibiotic course and monitoring your symptoms, you'll be able to effectively manage your condition and prevent potential complications.

I'm 16 and sometimes sexually active, but not always. I just started feeling an itch in my vagina yesterday, and today I noticed it's coming from this extra piece of skin on the right side. I'm really uncomfortable about it and not sure how to talk to my mom. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

You may have developed a vaginal skin tag, which can sometimes occur due to friction or hormonal changes. It's important to have it evaluated by a healthcare professional to confirm the diagnosis. In the meantime, you can try using over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream to help with the itching. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical attention for further evaluation and treatment.

I'm 23 and just starting to get into intercourse. The first time really hurt, and I actually had to ask my boyfriend to stop because the pain was unbearable, although I didn't bleed. When we tried again, entering was easier, but it still stung quite a bit. I've heard it takes time for it to stop hurting and start feeling good, but I'm wondering if I should get checked now that I'm becoming sexually active. How long is it normal to experience this pain before it turns pleasurable? We've been using condoms as I'm aware of the side effects of the pill, and thankfully, my periods haven't been affected yet. Is there anything we can do to lessen the pain, or any tips for this situation?

Considering your painful experiences during intercourse, it's a good idea to consult a gynecologist to rule out any underlying conditions like vaginismus, vaginal dryness, or anatomical issues; in the meantime, you can try relaxation techniques, lubricants, and gradual, gentle penetration to reduce discomfort, and continue using condoms for contraception,
