On 04/24/20, I took a positive pregnancy test. The first day of my last period was 03/20/20, which should put me around 5 weeks 6 days. I had a quantitative hCG blood test performed, and the result was 900, which seems low for my gestational age. Is this normal, and should I be concerned? Should I retest in a day or two to see if the value has doubled?

I am in the two-week wait after an IVF egg transfer and had a dental appointment where local anesthesia was used. Am I at risk?

I’m having a much heavier period this month, with blood dripping out at a fast rate and causing me to soak through many pads. I’m also feeling extremely dizzy and weak, with constant dizziness and numbness in my legs. I’m 18 years old, not on any medications, and I recently stopped taking birth control a month ago. My periods have been irregular since I was 12, and I’m currently 53kg. What should I do?

I am 30 years old and had unprotected sex twice in one day. I took an emergency morning-after pill after the first incident, but the condom broke during the second incident. What should I do to ensure I do not get pregnant?
