I got treated for chlamydia a week ago. Three days later, I got fingered. Will this ruin my treatment or make it more likely that I still have the infection? Additionally, if I used a sex toy before and after treatment, but cleaned it after each use, could I be re-infected?

I have taken two negative pregnancy tests and haven't had a true period since February 29. I am not using contraceptives, take multivitamins, and exercise moderately. I have a history of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) but have had regular periods for the last four years. My blood work showed only estradiol at 424 on May 1, which dropped after spotting for seven days, and all other hormones, including thyroid, were within range. What could be causing my period to be delayed or missing?

I have recurring nausea that is connected to sleep. Any disruption in my sleep pattern results in bad nausea all day, affecting my quality of life. I've tried Zofran and over-the-counter nausea medicines, but they don't help. The nausea isn't related to digestion or food. I have an IUD and have seen a doctor who prescribed Zofran and a sleep aid, but I prefer not to take sleep aids. What can I do to treat the nausea?
