Stress can play a part in why you havent healed yet. Try your best to keep your mind off worrying. Constantly focusing on "what if" is not helpful at all. Do yourself a favor and stop googling symptoms. If you put in the right things even a 90 year old man can be diagnosed as being pregnant.
Good luck.
