I have a cluster of bumps close to my pubic area and I'm worried it might be herpes. I'm 25 years old, and the area aches. My last pelvic exam was over a year ago, and I recently treated for a UTI. The bumps started yesterday, and the immediate area has swollen slightly with joint pain. My lower abdomen aches slightly, and I've been urinating more frequently. I am sexually active and had unprotected sex recently. What could this be, and what should I do?

I use Novelon for my cycle, as suggested by my doctor in India. I completed taking the tablets, but it's been 30 days and I still haven't gotten my period this month. Last month, I got it on March 1st. I have thyroid issues and take Euthyrox 100 mg 2 tablets per day. I started using Novelon about half a year ago. What might be the reason for not getting my periods, and is there a chance I'm pregnant?

I passed my GTT at 27 weeks (121) but was retested with a 1 HR GTT at 36 weeks with a result of 161. I'm testing my blood sugar 4 times a day and controlling my post-meal levels, but my fasting blood sugar is consistently above 90. I'm eating healthy snacks like nonfat plain Greek yogurt with blackberries, but I'm unsure if this is affecting my fasting levels. Should I avoid certain foods or snacks? If I need to take medication for the remaining weeks of my pregnancy, does that mean I will remain diabetic after delivery?
