I have been on birth control for nine years and stopped in September 2020. My periods have been regular since stopping birth control, with a cycle length of 24-29 days. I am 26 years old and have been trying to conceive for 3 months using ovulation test strips that indicate I ovulate between day 15-19. Despite this, I have not yet conceived. Can I be getting positive ovulation test strip results but not truly be ovulating, and what can I do to increase my chances of conception?

I had a past abnormal pap smear and preeclampsia with my last childbirth in January. I am due for another pap smear this month and have been experiencing high blood pressure, severe headaches, fatigue, muscle weakness, severe stomach pains, and back pains. What could be going on?

My period is 5 days late, but I have taken 4 negative pregnancy tests. Should I wait and test again in a few days, and if still negative, should I take a blood test for confirmation?

A day after having sex, I experienced pain and light bleeding when urinating, along with some swelling of the urethra. Is it a UTI, and what should I do?

I will have a biopsy done today to test for endometriosis. If tested negative and nothing is wrong inside the uterine, then I can proceed with IVF embryo transfer. My question is: since there will be a little damage to the uterine lining as a result of the biopsy, how long should I wait to ensure the uterine lining is back to normal again and in optimal shape to receive the embryo?
