I'm a 27-year-old woman trying to conceive (TTC) with my husband. I've been experiencing light bleeding for 10 days, which is unusual for me, along with typical period symptoms. I'm concerned about the impact of this bleeding on my chances of getting pregnant and whether I should continue trying to conceive during this time.

I've been trying to get pregnant for a year and a half but am having difficulty. I was told I'm not ovulating, and despite blood work, the cause remains unknown. I'm scheduled for a laparoscopy to investigate further, suspecting endometriosis. Symptoms include constant pink to orange vaginal discharge, abdominal bloating, swollen feet, and constant abdominal gas. I'm 35, previously pregnant three times but had elective abortions. My last pregnancy involved injections and vaginal pills, which led to some bleeding but resolved. Now, I have no regular cycle, constant pink to orange discharge, and no ovulation according to my fertility doctor. I've tried Asian pills, herbal cleanses, and fertility tea, but the bleeding doesn't go away. What could be causing these issues, and what steps should I take?

I was just diagnosed with HSV II through a blood test, showing elevated IgM antibodies but not IgG antibodies. I've been with my partner for 4 years and never had any infections before. Does this mean he is cheating on me? How do I address this with him, and what should I do about my current outbreak?

Hello, I went to the emergency room today because of severe pelvic pain. My results stated that I have an ovarian cyst. I would like to get more clarification of the report. It stated that my uterus measures 9x4x6cm and endometrial stripe thickness is 6mm. The right ovary measures 3x2x3 cm and the left ovary measures 4x4x3cm. The left ovary contains a 2.8x2.6x2.8 cm complex accumulation with through transmission which may represent a hemorrhagic or proteinaceous cyst. I mainly would like to know if the measurements of my uterus and my endometrial thickness are normal? Also, I would like to know if these measurements and the type of ovarian cyst that I have will affect my fertility? Added info is I'm on the mini pill Ortho Micronor and the date of my last period was April 30.

I am in menopause for 6 years now. The last two years I have pain on the left side of my vagina and vulva, with a pressure feeling as if a foreign body is there. This feeling persists with walking and bending, but disappears when lying down. I have had several examinations, all indicating everything is okay. However, during a self-examination, I noticed my cervix is positioned to the right, and the left top side near my cervix feels lower than the right side, with more space on the right. I can feel stool through the tissue on the left side, and when I enter my vagina, I feel more space on the right side than on the left. Is it possible that one side is prolapsing and causing this feeling? I had an episiotomy on the left side thirteen years ago.
