I just had a baby on August 20th, 2020. I had sex for the first time on September 12th using a condom, and again on October 31st. My first period after childbirth was from October 2nd-8th. I haven't had a period since then and recently tested positive for pregnancy. When did I get pregnant?

I have been experiencing recurring yeast infections for the past three months, despite taking multiple doses of vaginal ovules and fluconazole tablets. The symptoms initially included itching, solid discharge, and occasional spotting, but now mainly consist of spotting and discharge, especially when exerting pressure. My swab test results were normal for yeast and BV, but I am concerned that the fluconazole may have affected the test results. What could be causing these symptoms, and what tests or treatments should I consider?

I have a sore and itchy vagina. The itchiness started a few days ago and comes and goes. I don't have any known allergies and there's nothing else in my medical history that the doctor should know. I'm not sure if it could be an STD. What should I look for if it's an STD, and how do I get tested without having a doctor look at it?

I've been experiencing unusually long and heavy periods, lasting 11 days this time, which is longer than my usual 7-8 days. I used to have irregular cycles but since giving birth 5 years ago, my periods have become heavier and last longer each time. I'm not using any contraceptives or medications, and I'm 34 years old. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I’ve just had my initial herpes outbreak, which is both genital and oral. Besides Valtrex, what supplements and dosages do you recommend to treat this condition? Will ozone therapy help with the symptoms?

I am on an extended cycle birth control pill, Amethia (a generic of Seasonique), and have been experiencing breakthrough bleeding for 19 days, which has worsened with increased cramping, dizziness, nausea, and loss of energy. My doctor suggested tripling the pill dosage to stop the bleeding, but it resumed after I returned to the regular dosage. I am about to start the placebo pills and have a significant event in a week that requires my full energy and focus. Should I skip the placebo pills and continue with a higher dosage to stop the bleeding, or take the placebos and hope the bleeding stops by the event?
