I am 37 years old and experiencing painful periods and heavy bleeding. I have had three failed IVF cycles and underwent fibroid removal surgery in 2013. My periods have been irregular since April, and I spot for about 8 days after my period ends. I haven't received any treatment yet. Could this be related to fibroids or polyps, and can uterine fibroid embolization be an option to avoid surgery while preserving fertility?

I should be 9 weeks and 5 days pregnant, but I had a bit of bleeding at 7 weeks and subsequent scans showed no baby, yet my blood tests still indicate pregnancy. I also have multiple ovarian cysts. Could these cysts be causing my body to still show signs of pregnancy?

I was using a 4% hydroquinone cream for three months, stopped in September, and briefly restarted in mid-November. I am concerned about its effect on conception and pregnancy safety. I have hypothyroidism and am taking prenatal vitamins. Should I continue with our conception planning, or should we wait a few months?

I am 32 years old and had abnormal pap results indicating atypical squamous cells, which were precancerous. After having them removed, I noticed a pain on my left side and was diagnosed with endometrial lining thickening, a polyp, and a fibroid. My doctor suggested a D&C and hysteroscopy, but I am hesitant due to my sensitivity to anesthesia and the effectiveness of herbal treatments I've tried. My periods have returned to normal, and my last pap was perfect. Are the procedures necessary, and what are the risks if I do have them?

I have taken three pregnancy tests (two at home and one at the doctor's office) and had a pap smear, but I still haven't had my period. My last period ended on 07/08/08. Is it possible that I am pregnant?
