I've been experiencing extreme sharp pain in my lower left abdomen near my ovaries, especially during my fertile days and ovulation. The pain is so severe that it affects my ability to walk, sit, or lie down, but it is relieved by hot cloths, hot showers, or ibuprofen. The pain disappears after my fertile days until the next month. I was diagnosed with endometriosis in 2010 and had cysts removed from both ovaries in 2009. I'm concerned about the pain and its potential impact on my fertility, as I've been trying to conceive for three years.

I have been diagnosed with adenomyosis and have elevated hCG levels (4, 5). I'm concerned I could have cancer. I am on Pristiq and Wellbutrin, have not used hCG, am obese, and am 49, in menopause. I have back pain, bloating, acid reflux, difficulty breathing, shortness of breath, slightly elevated TSH levels, fatigue, depression, and anxiety. I had COVID-19 in April and have had abnormal paps in the past, with a normal pap two years ago. I had an endometrial ablation seven years ago for heavy bleeding and anemia, and I was never informed of adenomyosis or fibroids before the ablation. My gyno has since retired, and I have had four hCG tests in five weeks with results of 4, 4, 4, and 5. What could be causing my elevated hCG levels, and what should my next steps be?

I am 21 weeks pregnant and had some suspiciously mucus plug-like discharge. I think I’ve had it a few times before or similar discharge. Could you please advise?

I'm not on my period and have been on birth control for years. Recently, I've been spotting for about a week, possibly longer. I've started having sex with a new partner and the sex has been rough. I have no other issues, just a little bit of blood coming out after I pee and wipe. What could this be?

Getting my period before the last row of the birth control, is it normal? I get the spotting or the period blood as normal as my typical schedule is. Is this normal even though I’m on the 4 pack of birth control pills? I get the regular symptoms as well as the normal period but not as bad as before. I thought I’d only get normal spotting on the last row. And the spotting is taking longer time than usual.
