I have intermittent back pain that worsens after intercourse. I don't have any known medical conditions and am taking supplements and Aleve for pain. This issue has been ongoing for about a month, and I recently had a normal abdominal ultrasound. I don't have a vaginal exam scheduled until May 1st. The pain is dull and migrates, and I have had harder bowel movements but regular bowel movements almost every day. I also have more discharge than normal, which is clear or white and has a normal smell. My last period was on March 18th, and it was bright blood without clots. Sometimes during intercourse, it feels like something pops, and my back hurts the worst after sex. Could this be related to pelvic inflammatory disease or an ovarian cyst?

I am trying to get pregnant. My period is 7 days late, but I tested negative on both urine and blood pregnancy tests. I just took an ovulation test and it was positive that I am currently ovulating. My last period was on March 8th, and I usually get my periods every 28 days. I am taking Buspar 20mg/day and Prenatal Vitamins. What could be causing my period to be late, and what steps should I take to track my cycle and confirm ovulation?

Hello, I just had a colonoscopy and they took some pictures. One picture of my colon is blue and green. Can you give me some insight into this?

I missed my period this month, and I've been experiencing pregnancy symptoms like spotting and mild cramps, but all pregnancy tests, including a blood test, have come back negative. I also have a history of chlamydia and complications with BV. Could I be pregnant, or do I have an infection like PID? What should I do next?
