I am trying to get pregnant and have been trying for 7 months without success. My period is usually fine and regular, but last month I had my period twice in one month, which is unusual for me. What could be causing this issue with my period and delayed pregnancy?

I am 27 years old and want to gain weight through bodybuilding. My current weight is 65 kg and height is 180 cm. I have been going to the gym for a year and a half and have only gained 3 kg despite a high-protein diet. I am considering using Muscletech supplements (Mass-Tech, Nano Vapor Hardcore Pro Series, and Amino Acids) to help with weight gain. Are these supplements safe for my health, both short-term and long-term? What are the possible side effects, and can they be mitigated? Should I continue with supplements after an initial course, or switch to a natural diet?

I have type 2 diabetes and recently quit smoking six weeks ago. I have noticed a change in taste, starting about two weeks ago, which feels metallic like blood and then sweet. I am on medications including Jaunvia, losartan, amaryl, protonix, simvastatin, and 81 mg of aspirin. I drink 74 oz of water a day and have a dry mouth. My highest blood sugar level was 264. Could this taste change be related to quitting smoking or my medications, and should I be concerned about ketosis?

I am a college student who recently had unprotected oral sex and unprotected vaginal sex. Soon after, I experienced symptoms such as swollen tonsils with white spots, swollen lymph nodes, a bump on the vaginal area, dry skin, and a cyst-like bump on the stomach. My throat has been symptomatic since August 31st. Strep test came back negative. Could these symptoms be related to herpes, tonsillitis, or mono? What steps should I take to diagnose the issue?

I woke up suddenly with chills, a need to frequently use the bathroom, extreme thirst, a racing heart, and shaking. I'm also experiencing nausea and frequent bowel movements. I don't think I have a fever, but I'm concerned because this happened the night before as well. I'm 51, female, overweight, and have a history of chronic bladder infections. Could this be a serious condition, and what should I do?
