My wife going to 9mos. pregnant and much blood came out in her stool snd she felt little hurt. what is it doc? please help. In brief: Hemorrhoids

Bright red blood in the stool is most likely related to hemorrhoids, which are common in pregnancy.

Pain associated with hemorrhoids is often managed by use of a cream or ointment that contains hydrocortisone. It is likely that the hemorrhoids will diminish after the pregnancy ends. ...See more

What's your chances of getting pregnant if you have had the marina IUD for a little over 6 years ? In brief: Low, but a big risk

The Mirena (levonorgestrel) IUD should be removed after five years if used for contraception.

It probably lasts significantly longer than 5 years, but YOU SHOULD NOT RELY ON IT ANY LONGER, and use alternate (backup) birth control until you can have it removed. Pregnancies that occur with the IUD in place can be very problematic. It is NOT worth the risk. ...See more

How can i find out how much tube was taken from my tubal ligation at the hospital? In brief: Depends on technique

Ask your doctor what technique was used, or get Op Report from your hospital.

The most common method for tubal ligation via laparoscopy (belly button surgery) is cautery (ie, fulguration). This usually destroys more of the tube than either Falope rings or the Filshie Clip. If done at the time of Cesarean, usually not much is removed. Length of tube removed is impt if you are considering reversal. ...See more

Can I trust the result of a home pregnancy test ( from first mornin urine) after 10 weeks of intercourse? I know I should but im still suspicious. In brief: Yes

To clarify, I think your question is whether you might have a negative urine 10 weeks after intercourse and still be pregnant.

If that is your question, you can rely on a urine pregnancy test after 10 weeks, but you should consult a provider to determine why you haven't had a period in that amount of time. ...See more

Dr. John Paas answered:

Can I Be Pregnant && On My Period Or Is It Not Likely? In brief: Not Both

But, bleeding in early pregnancy is not uncommon.

If you are pregnant, you may be experiencing implantation bleeding, which occurs shortly after conception. If you have a positive urine pregnancy test and you are bleeding, you may have a viable pregnancy, an ectopic pregnancy, or you may be miscarrying. ...See more

I missed my 1st 2 pills in my camrese pill pack, i took 2 yesterday and today, now i'm caught up, how long do I have to wait to be protected again? In brief: Next cycle

To be safe, it is advisable to use alternate birth control (e.g., condoms) for the duration of this pill cycle.

Once your menses starts, you will be protected.

Im 5 weeks pregnant today...Where exactly is my baby in my belly and when wil the heart start to beat will i feel the heart beat? In brief: U won't feel it

Fetal cardiac activity begins at about this time, and can be seen by sonogram at about 6 menstrual weeks.

You will not be able to "feel" the baby's heart beat. Fetal movement is noticed by first-time moms at around 18 weeks gestation.

Am on Clomid (clomiphene) 100mg, i took 150 mg just today instead of 100 by mistake. Could that cause me any harm? In brief: No harm

Just resume the 100mg tomorrow and until you complete the regimen.

You may only be left with 50 mg on the final day of the regimen (the fifth day of treatment).

If i try to skip my period by skipping the last row in my birth control and take active pills...Next month i will have 2 weeks with no active pills? In brief: Noooooo!!!!!

You must not take more than one week of in active (placebo) pills in a cycle.

Otherwise, you will likely ovulate, and you are at risk of pregnancy. Omitting the week of inactive pills will enable you to skip your period, but it causes you to need to refill your rx every three weeks. ...See more

Dr. John Paas answered:

Can i get pregnant 8 days after my period? I have a 40-45 day cycle.. Thanks In brief: No

Generally, a cycle length that long is abnormal, and it is most likely that you are not ovulating.

For women who ovulate and have regular cycles, ovulation occurs approx 14 days prior to the onset of the menses. The variable interval is the time from onset of menses until ovulation, but unless the cycle is 21-24 days in length, you wouldn't ovulate that early in your cycle. ...See more
