My periods are always regular, but this month I experienced a 4-day delay followed by spotting. I have been trying to conceive. Could this be implantation bleeding? I am 34 years old, my last period was on March 12th, and I have an average 25-day cycle. I am not on any medications except for folic acid, and I am generally healthy.

I am unsure if I am pregnant. I think I ovulated on 23rd January and had sex on 20th and 21st, with my partner withdrawing before ejaculating and going to the toilet between each time. My period is due on 6th February. I have been experiencing lower stomach cramps since 28th January and nausea. My bowel movements have also been more frequent. Given the circumstances, what could be causing these symptoms?

What is the best test to determine if someone carries the HSV II virus, and is it true that during an outbreak, the titer might go up and then level back out?

I asked a question yesterday about the TCD measurement, which is the 16th percentile, and was assured that everything was fine. However, today I have become worried about the TCD/AC ratio, which seems very low based on my calculations. This is an IVF pregnancy, and I am very anxious. There are no other indications of issues. Should I be concerned about the TCD/AC ratio, and is it normal for it to be low?

I just turned 40 in October. My periods have always been regular (every 28-30 days), but since moving to NYC in October, I've noticed larger, earlier, and longer periods in November, December, and January, with light spotting after urination. My last pap smear in September was normal. Should I be concerned about cancer, and what should I do?
