I started thyroid medication a couple of months ago, and since then, my periods have been regular. However, my period is now a week late, and I started spotting this morning. I am not using any contraceptives and we are trying to get pregnant. My last period started on July 3. I have never had a Pap test, and there is no swelling, discoloration, or unusual smells. Before starting synthroid, my periods were irregular. I took a cheap pregnancy test five days after my missed period, which showed a faint line, but another test the next day showed nothing. What could be causing this delay, and what should I do next?

I am 25 years old and experiencing recurring yeast infections. I take probiotics, keep myself clean and dry, and have been tested for STIs, which were negative. I also have pain during sex and have had irregular periods due to using Seasonique, a three-month birth control. I had yeast infections after periods when I was on the injection birth control a few years ago. How can I address these recurring yeast infections and the associated pain during sex?

I haven’t had my period for 4 months and I’m not pregnant. I play sports and my last period began in February. What could be causing this and what should I do?

Can a gynecologist look at these results and advise me if this means I have Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)? I’ve been experiencing minor pelvic pain and continuous vaginal discharge. Can PID cause bacterial vaginosis (BV)? Additionally, since there is not isolated bacteria, does this mean I have a possible case of ureaplasma or mycoplasma?

With an ectopic pregnancy, is there always bleeding present? I’m concerned because I’ve missed my period, it was due Wednesday. I’ve had lower right abdominal pain today and past couple days. Today it started a stabbing pain. I have been feeling very light nausea but could be related to stress. No, I have not experienced this in the past. I had a Leep procedure done in 2006 and have had normal pap tests for the past three years.

I'm trying to get pregnant, but every time I try, I end up with bacterial vaginosis (BV) due to the semen affecting my pH balance. What can I use during intercourse to safely carry the sperm and prevent BV from coming back?
