I recently missed my period and took 3 negative pregnancy tests while being consistent with my birth control (a generic for Tri Sprintec). I'm halfway through my new pill pack and feel continuously bloated and have some cramping. Is this normal?

I have itchy and swollen labia. The itchiness comes and goes, and the area looks swollen and irritated. I've recently come off contraception and had my first period in 2 years about 6 weeks ago. I'm not pregnant and don't know if the itching is hormonal. What could be causing this and what can I do to alleviate it?

I had an ultrasound showing a 1.7 cm complex follicle/corpus luteal cyst in the left ovary and fluid in the endometrial canal, with normal endometrial thickness. My period has been lasting 8-10 days instead of the usual 6-7 days, but it's still regular every 26-31 days. Should I be concerned about these findings, and is the cyst related to my prolonged periods?
