I am 49 1/2 years old and recently stopped getting my period. I was tested and found to be in menopause according to my estrogen levels. I've been experiencing significant anxiety, depression, and OCD-like symptoms. I started an estrogen patch about 10 days ago and recently added progesterone (100 mg daily). I feel a bit better but still tired and depressed. How long will it take for the hormones to balance, and what other treatments can help with my symptoms?

My wife is 33 weeks pregnant and has had a fever, cough, chills, sore throat, body aches, dizziness when standing up, and a bad taste in her mouth since yesterday. She has dealt with similar symptoms before during this pregnancy, including fever, vomiting, dizziness, and a bad cough. She has taken Tylenol 1000 mg. What should we do, and is there any risk to the baby?

I started birth control on November 6 for the first time using the 'Sunday Start' method. My boyfriend and I had a close encounter where his uncovered penis was near my vagina but there was no penetration or ejaculation. I am now on my placebo pill week and experiencing symptoms like bloating and cramping. I am unsure if these are side effects of the birth control or regular PMS symptoms. Could I be pregnant, and what should I expect from the placebo period?

I am a 22-year-old female with irregular periods, sometimes having gaps of up to 4 months, which started two years ago. I have never had unprotected sex and have taken negative pregnancy tests. I am currently not on any medications and have no other significant medical history. What could be causing my missed periods and irregularity, and what steps can I take to address this issue?

I took my birth control as prescribed, including the last 4 pills to get my period, but I haven't gotten it yet even though I've started the new pack. Would this delay my period, or will it still come? I don't want to get it.

Can someone explain my HPV-related test results? I was told I was HPV negative, but my pap report says otherwise. My report indicates 'HPV RNA detected' and ASCUS. What does this mean, and should I be concerned?
