I had a pelvic ultrasound done five days before my period, and my doctor was unable to clearly explain the results. The report showed normal uterus dimensions, an 8 mm uterine lining, and normal ovaries with follicles. Should I have already ovulated by this time, and would this be considered an abnormal result?

Hi, my last period was on August 20th and finished on August 24th. I had unprotected sexual intercourse on August 26th and 27th. My breasts started hurting about a week later. I took a pregnancy test on September 5th, which was negative, and another on September 12th, which was positive. I was also with another guy on September 4th, but I don't remember having intercourse with him. Is there any possible way to tell who possibly got me pregnant?

I'm 33 years old and have missed two periods. I did a pregnancy test three weeks ago, which was negative. I haven't had intercourse for a month until two days ago. I've been bleeding heavily, which is definitely not menstrual blood. I suffer from extreme PMS bloating and cramps but don't feel any pain. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I have been diagnosed with genital herpes and have been taking medication for it since Tuesday. I have experienced leg pain on my left leg and now I have felt a deep bump which is painful to the touch on my lower left leg. I also take birth control pills. Is this a side effect of the medication or a possible blood clot?

I missed my period and took 5 pregnancy tests, all of which indicated pregnancy. I experienced light bleeding initially, but three days later, I began having severe cramps and heavy bleeding that has continued for 6 days. What should I do?

I had a Gardnerella vaginal infection treated with metronidazole, and later was diagnosed with Enterococcus faecalis vaginal infection, treated with oral vancomycin. I'm experiencing symptoms again and am concerned about the side effects of IV drugs like gentamicin and streptomycin, which include severe inner ear damage, hearing loss, kidney and liver damage, and other serious side effects. I'm allergic to penicillin, erythromycin, tetracycline, and macrodantin. What are the alternatives to these treatments? How long are IV treatments usually necessary? Are they typically effective? How common is it for the infection to become systemic, and is it always fatal? I'm very scared and need reassurance.
