I'm 17 years old and my periods are irregular, occurring every 30 to 50 days. I'm concerned about my ability to have children in the future. I've taken Plan B but am not on any other medications. I have no existing medical conditions or family history of infertility. My periods are usually heavy at first and then get lighter, lasting 6-7 days. I'm 5'5" and weigh 180 pounds. What does this mean for my fertility and what should I do?

I had taken two positive pregnancy tests at 7 DPO and 8 DPO, but a negative test at 10 DPO, and my period is due tomorrow. Does this mean I'm not pregnant? Additionally, I've been feeling a strong pulse near my lower abdomen since 7 DPO. What could this mean?

Hi, again. My hysteroscopy/D&C and fibroid removal was about 12 days ago and bleeding had decreased to a rare episode of dilute blood/spotting/mucus when wiping. Last night into this morning, I had some bloating/crampiness and more red bleeding with some small clots when wiping (nothing concerning in volume though). Is this uptick normal? I spent the preceding 2 days doing yard work, and I wonder if that was too much exercise? I am also wondering if I need to continue avoiding swimming in my pool if there is any bleeding/spotting?

I have been experiencing a persistent fishy odor since I was younger, which has not improved despite thorough wiping and regular showers. The odor has been stable since I started my period at age 13. I am currently 22 years old and not using any medications except for birth control. What can be done to resolve this issue?

Me and my husband had sex on the day with the highest chance of getting pregnant during ovulation. I’ve been spotting since the next day, which is about 9 days ago. It’s not a heavy flow, and I haven’t passed any blood clots. I’m not sure if I’m pregnant and I’m getting worried. What could be causing the spotting, and what should I do next?

I'm 25 years old and have been experiencing sharp, intermittent cramping for a week. I've had cysts in the past and currently have Nexplanon. I took ibuprofen but am not on any other medications. What could be causing the cramping, and should I be concerned if it persists?
