Am I pregnant
Yes. You should take a pregnancy test. If it is negative and there have been more than 35 days in between your periods, you should call your Gynecologist for assessment. READ MORE
birth control
Nexplanon is a synthetic progestin. A progestin is a form of progesterone. One of the physiologic effects of progesterone is to decrease the body's production of testosterone. Because testosterone is responsible for libido, when its production is decreased, sex drive also decreases. Another effect of progesterone is to cause thinning of the lining of the uterus and the vagina. The thinning of the vaginal walls is what leads to the vaginal dryness. These symptoms are possible with all hormonal contraceptives. However, just because you experienced them with one hormonal contraceptive, it does not mean that you will experience them with all of them. You should talk with your Gynecologist about the possibility of switching to a different hormonal contraceptive if these symptoms are disruptive. Best Regards, Dr. Ellis READ MORE
Am I pregnant?
There are many things that can lead to a missed menstrual cycle, or even to multiple or recurrent misses menses. If your pregnancy tests have all been negative then it is unlikely that you are pregnant, and you should be assessed for other medical disorders. The menstrual cycle can tell us a lot about other organ systems, and sometimes it is the thing that lets us know that there may be some other disorder that needs to be treated. While this may be a little unnerving, consider that this is could be an opportunity to address another health issue before it becomes severe or difficult to manage. Among the more common conditions that can lead to missed menstrual cycles are PCOS and thyroid disease. These conditions are straightforward to treat and should be addressed so that they cannot cause problems later in your life. Kindest Regards, Dr. Ellis READ MORE
When is the best time to take my pregnancy test?
It is best to wait until your period is late, which is considered the 36th day of your cycle OR 35 days after the first day of your last period. Prior to this time, a urine pregnancy test is unlikely to yield a positive even if you are pregnant. At such an early time, there are not appreciable enough amounts of the HCG hormone found in the urine. Therefore, in order to get the most accurate result, it is best to wait. READ MORE
Is it safe to have a body massage after a c-section?
Assuming that the surgery and post-operative course were uncomplicated, this should not be a problem. In the average healthy woman of reproductive age, assuming that there were no peri-operative complications, we expect that she will have healed by 6 weeks after her cesarean section. READ MORE

Get to know Obstetrician-Gynecologist Dr. Jaishree R. Ellis, who serves patients in Corpus Christi, Texas.
A distinguished board-certified gynecologist, Dr. Ellis is committed to adolescent health and specialized care for women with disabilities. She brings over two decades of experience to the Coastal Bend Women’s Center, where she is providing obstetric and gynecologic services to the women of South Texas.
Back in the early days of her academic career, the doctor’s journey commenced with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English Language and Literature from the University of Pennsylvania, followed by a Doctor of Medicine degree from the University of Illinois Chicago.
Passionate about her profession, Dr. Ellis is board-certified in obstetrics and gynecology by the American Osteopathic Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology (AOBOG). The mission of the AOBOG is to define specialty standards, certify obstetricians and gynecologists, and facilitate continuous learning to advance knowledge, practice, and professionalism in women’s health.
Beyond her medical practice, she is a devoted mother of three, one of whom has autism. This personal experience led her to delve into disability advocacy, becoming a staunch proponent for the rights and inclusion of individuals with disabilities. She has actively contributed to the cause by co-founding a chamber of commerce dedicated to increasing employment opportunities for disabled individuals.
Obstetrics and gynecology (OB-GYN) is the medical specialty that encompasses the two subspecialties of obstetrics (covering pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period) and gynecology (covering the health of the female reproductive system – vagina, uterus, ovaries, and breasts). Dr. Noel now focuses her practice on Gynecology.
Recognized for her dedication to her field, Dr. Ellis has been the recipient of prestigious awards, including the Miracle Center Award and the Women of Distinction Award in 2009.
Outside of her professional life, she finds joy in spending quality time with her children and nurtures her love for travel, with the Amalfi Coast in Italy holding a special place in her heart as one of her all-time favorite destinations.
