I recently felt a lump/bump on the left side wall of my vagina while checking for my IUD strings. It's larger and rounder than a pimple, and located near the harder part in the middle, which I assume is the beginning of my cervix. It doesn't hurt when touched, and I've never explored inside my vagina before. I had a pap smear recently that showed everything was fine, and I had a false positive for gonorrhea in October. Is this lump something to worry about, and could it be a cyst?

My period is a month late, and I have negative pregnancy tests. I am not using any contraceptives or medications, and I am 25 years old. I have anxiety issues but no recent stress or extreme diet changes. What could be causing the delay, and what can I do to help regulate my period?

I’m currently being treated for Mycoplasma Genitalium. I’m taking a double dosage of doxycycline twice a day for 7 days followed by Azithromycin for 3 days. My partner and I both started treatment for this, but we had sexual intercourse 2 days ago when I was on day 6 of doxycycline and he was on day 4. Are we at risk of being reinfected, and what are the implications for our fertility?

I have been trying to conceive for over a year and recently tested positive on a pregnancy test, but the lines are faint. Should I keep testing, and will the lines get stronger? Is it too early to tell, or could this be a chemical pregnancy?

I had protected sex on May 14, 2022, and experienced unusual bleeding around my expected period date, along with other symptoms such as stomach cramps, rumbling in the stomach, breast pain, feeling like vomiting, dizziness, heat in the stomach, and back pain. I took three at-home pregnancy tests, all of which were negative. Is there still a chance I'm pregnant, and what could be causing these symptoms?
