I just took a pregnancy test and it came back positive, but I got my period while taking it. I am on birth control, use 75 mg of Zoloft, and I am 17 years old. My periods have always been irregular, which is why I started birth control. What should I do next?

I have been trying to conceive with artificial insemination (ICI and IUI) for 15 cycles and had an ectopic pregnancy last year, resulting in the removal of one tube. My RE suspects an arcuate uterus and recommends a hysteroscopy to assess blood flow and possibly perform a resection. I'm concerned about the necessity and potential risks of this surgery. Should I proceed with the hysteroscopy, and is it common to have complications from a resection? Additionally, should I consider IVF instead, and could a mild heart shape inside the uterus negatively impact IVF?

I had a tiny bit of vaginal bleeding in late September, which I thought was post-menopausal bleeding. My OB/GYN did blood work and ordered an ultrasound, which showed I'm not in menopause. The ultrasound tech focused on the vaginal area, which worried me. Should I be concerned about vaginal or cervical cancer? My last pap smear was several years ago, and I've had no cycles for 18 months. Can a transvaginal ultrasound detect vaginal or cervical cancer, and what are the chances of having benign growths in the vagina? Additionally, my bloodwork showed I'm not in menopause, but I haven't had a cycle in 18 months. Could this be related to my weight gain? Finally, if an endometrial biopsy is recommended due to irregular endometrial thickness, what does this indicate, and is it likely to be cancerous?

My girlfriend and I are getting back together. We were involved with other partners while being separated and had unprotected sex. I took antibiotics for chlamydia on 1/8/14 and have an STD testing appointment on 1/10/14. Will I still test positive for chlamydia if I got tested 2 days after taking antibiotics?

I think I'm pregnant but all scans and tests have been negative. I have had two bumps for months, which seem different from a normal pregnancy, very slow (not fat, can't pinch it), but I feel movement every few hours, one bump then the other. When I lie down, the bumps separate. I also had nausea for a few months and my balance is off. I'm wondering about ectopic pregnancy since my womb is empty. I researched and found 'cryptic' pregnancy, with reasons for it not being detected matching my experience. Do you think that's what it is?
