I'm really worried because my ultrasound says I'm 5 weeks and 4 days pregnant, but based on my last menstrual period, I should actually be around 8 weeks. There's no foetal pole seen yet. Is there a chance my pregnancy might not continue? How long should I wait before knowing for sure?
The discrepancy between your gestational age based on LMP (8 weeks) and ultrasound (5 weeks 4 days) is concerning, and the absence of a fetal pole at 5 weeks 4 days is a potential indication of a non-viable pregnancy or a miscarriage, so your healthcare provider may recommend waiting for 1-2 weeks for a follow-up ultrasound to confirm the presence of a fetal pole or heartbeat, but the prognosis is uncertain, and emotional preparation for a potential miscarriage is essential.

I'm recently married, and every time I have sex with my husband, it's really painful because my vagina feels so tight. I'm wondering if using coconut or sesame oil during intercourse might help. But I'm also worried if these oils could affect my chances of getting pregnant. Are there any oils that are safe to use that won't impact pregnancy?
Using coconut or sesame oil during intercourse is safe, but it may reduce the effectiveness of latex condoms if you're using them. To avoid pregnancy-related concerns, opt for water-based lubricants like Pre-Seed, which are sperm-friendly and won't hinder conception.
