A female over 40 who had a tubal ligation 5 years ago is experiencing lower abdominal pain, mild fever, and lower back pain. She hasn't had a period in October, but her last period was normal. Should she be considering pregnancy as a possibility?

If I stop taking my birth control pills after missing some and having unprotected sex, will it increase the chances of the egg being fertilized? I also took a 4-pill medication for a serious infection the day after unprotected sex.

I had a full hysterectomy 12 years ago with my ovaries taken out. Now, doctors tell me I have one. How can that be or are they mistaken for something else? I also have had 4 false positive pregnancy tests. Please help me.

I'm a healthy 26-year-old, married and trying to conceive. I got off Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo in May 2010 and have had somewhat regular periods since then. However, I haven't had a period since October and am about 3 weeks late. I've taken 4 pregnancy tests, all negative. I've been on and off birth control for about 10 years, and before using it, I had semi-irregular periods. I've ruled out PCOS due to lack of typical symptoms, and I'm not under stress, have no eating disorder, and maintain a healthy diet and exercise routine. I sometimes feel period-like cramps and have diarrhea and soft stool, but no bleeding. What could be causing my late period, and what should I do?
