I had an IVF embryo transfer on 2.2. I was sick the week before but was getting much better so we decided to proceed. On 2.2, I started coughing again and it's gotten worse. It's been confirmed as not strep or pneumonia. I have been coughing so hard it's hard to catch my breath at times. Also, last night, I got some sad news and started to cry and cough and had a really hard time catching my breath. Has all this crying and coughing damaged the potential baby?

I had my last menstrual cycle on October 31st. I had unprotected sex on November 1st and November 9th, and took the morning-after pill on November 10th. I then had a period on November 16th, which I assume was due to the emergency contraceptive. I took three home pregnancy tests on December 9th, 10th, and 12th, all of which were positive. Is it safe to assume I got pregnant after November 16th?

I am 4 weeks 6 days pregnant and have two copies of the MTHFR gene. My fertility doctor prescribed Folgard to prevent miscarriage and possible spina bifida. I started taking it on 1/6 and stored the bottle in my bathroom medicine cabinet with my prenatal vitamins. Today, I read that I should not have stored it in the bathroom and am worried about potential birth defects. Can I have my folic acid levels tested, and is there anything that can be done?

I had a pap smear almost 2 years ago that came back with abnormal cells and a diagnosis of HPV. A colposcopy within a month was negative for HPV. Another pap 5 months ago was also negative for HPV but still showed abnormal cells. I have had the same monogamous partner for almost a year. Recently, I noticed small white bumps near my anus while treating a hemorrhoid with Proctosol HC 2.5%. The bumps don't hurt, itch, or burn. What could these bumps be and should I be concerned?

I just took a pregnancy test and it came back positive, but I got my period while taking it. I am on birth control, use 75 mg of Zoloft, and I am 17 years old. My periods have always been irregular, which is why I started birth control. What should I do next?

I have a recurring spot that seems to be healing but is causing concern. I am worried about HSV, but two other doctors have said it is a bacterial infection. What could be causing this and how can I treat it?
