I'm 47 years old and my period is almost two weeks late. I took a pregnancy test with negative results a day after I missed my period. Could I be pregnant? I never missed a period before. I was intimate with my partner on January 8th and we did not use contraceptives. My last period began on December 24th. My last pap test was five years ago with no irregularities. I had not had sex for almost 10+ years until this year. I'm obese in weight but otherwise healthy.

My period ended two weeks ago, but I haven't stopped bleeding. It's not too much blood but is more than I normally spot. I'm 20 years old, have very regular cycles, do not take contraceptive pills, have not gained weight recently, and am not sexually active. I've been bleeding since October 26th when my period started. It ended for one day then continued with heavy spotting. What could be causing this and what should I do?

What are the chances of HPV remaining in the cervix for 28 years with no abnormal pap smears or effects now or during that time frame? Can it persist that long after initial exposure without producing precancer or some type of abnormality?

I’m a 36-year-old woman, 2 weeks pregnant. I accidentally burned a pan of beans and rice, inhaling the fumes. I experienced an itchy throat and heartburn. Is there any danger to my baby from this exposure?

I am HPV positive and wonder if I can pass it to my husband. If he has HPV too, how can we find out? I heard there is no test for men.
