I have pain in my uterus/bladder/vagina when I pee. The pain started last night and only occurs when peeing. It is achey, stabbing, and sharp. I am taking iron supplements, multivitamins, and Evra birth control patch. I am 19 years old, very iron deficient, just recovered from a yeast infection, and my period is due next week. I am sexually active with one partner in the last 3-4 months and recently tested negative for STDs.

I think I have a UTI, with symptoms including foul-smelling urine, burning sensation on the outside of my vaginal area, frequent urination, nausea, dizziness, and a feeling of malaise. I have a history of chronic UTI and nephritis. Is this related, and what can I do in the meantime before my appointment?

I am 11 weeks pregnant and have been bleeding since 7 weeks. The first time, it was my placenta with a little blood, which stopped for a couple of days but then came back. I went to the doctor, and the baby was okay, but the doctor still saw a little blood. What could this bleeding be, and how can it be fixed?

How much does surrogacy cost, including surrogate's salary, medical costs, legal costs, miscellaneous expenses, and any costs related to the surrogacy? How many attempts does it typically take before a surrogate successfully gets pregnant, given IVF's high failure rate? What is the likelihood of a surrogate carrying a baby full term compared to a woman carrying her own baby? Why does surrogacy cost about the same as using IVF to conceive and carry the baby yourself, despite involving a third party?
