I'm a week late for my period and took a negative pregnancy test. My last period was April 12th, and I had spotting last Sunday. My period has shortened from 4 days to 2 days in the last year, and I've experienced increased cramps. I'm 31 years old and usually have a 32-35 day cycle. This is our first month trying to conceive. What should I do next, and is it normal to have light spotting and early periods when trying to conceive?

I have a red lump near my clitoris without any pus or fluid. It appeared recently and is not painful. I also have occasional vulva itching and have used an anti-itch cream, which worked. What could this lump be and what self-care remedies can I try?

I’m having itching at my vagina. I used Monistat today but I didn’t know if I should wait to see if that works or if I should get something stronger. The itchiness is pretty constant, not worse at certain times, and my skin looks normal. I have no other symptoms except sometimes slight urinary burning, and it's been going on for 3 days. I have known allergies to dairy, shellfish, and cephalosporins.

I have been experiencing irregular periods for a year, with periods lasting only one day. I do not use contraceptives, have no medications, and have a history of kidney stones and physical relationships for the past six months. I also experience occasional depression and very rare lower abdomen cramps. Can a physical relationship be the reason for this, and is there any medicine to tighten the vagina?
