Me and my boyfriend had been trying to get pregnant last 8 months. I Normally have a period at the end of every month around the 27th. Well in December I didn't have a period. It came on January 4th. Me and my boyfriend split up for a lil while and regretfully and embarrassingly I slept with someone else and had unprotected sex on January 14th. I missed my period in February and went to the dr on February 23rd and they said 7 weeks. Went back and had an ultrasound on March 5 and it said I was 9 weeks pregnant. Could you please tell me when I got pregnant so I can quit feeling guilty!

for family friend 12 year daughter. she was examined and found to have lacerations. She has had no intercourse, and unknown of any objects used. Could this come from masterbation or her putting objects inside. She also had infection but they said it was normal during exam, and was treated with antibiotics

I've had a thick white odorless discharge that two gyn's have missed. The exact words that came out of the first ones mouth was "you're as clean as a whistle". It seems to come in cycles. Light, thick, and then it seems to go away for a little bit.
