I started taking Microgestin 1/20Fe birth control pills in February. I had unprotected sex on June 2nd, and took three Microgestin pills on the same day as a precaution, followed by an emergency contraceptive pill (Aftera) on June 3rd. I am supposed to get my period on the 12th. Am I safe from pregnancy, and did I make the right choice by taking three Microgestin pills in one day?

I have fertility issues and have never gotten pregnant naturally until now. I took an Early Response pregnancy test and saw faint lines, with a slightly darker line today. My local OB's blood work showed a beta HCG of 14.07 and progesterone of 4. My local OB wants me to start progesterone, but my RE's office wants me to wait and retest next week. I'm concerned about the potential for a chemical pregnancy and whether starting progesterone now could help. Should I start progesterone immediately, or wait and risk a very early miscarriage?

I missed several birth control pills and took Plan B within 12 hours. Will Plan B be effective?

Do all fetuses grow at the same rate in the first trimester, and can an 11-week fetus be mistaken for a 7-8 week fetus due to slower growth? How accurate are abdominal ultrasounds at 7 weeks, and can they be used for dating the pregnancy? Can a baby have cheek dimples if neither parent does, and can future skin color be determined from cuticles/ear color? When do most mixed-race babies get their skin color, and when does true eye color set in?

I’ve been having a constant burning sensation and frequent urge to pee for almost a month now. My doctor tested me for UTI, STDs, and yeast infection, and all came back negative. What could it be?
