I'm trying to get pregnant and have experienced shooting pains in my lower right abdomen, vomiting, and tender stomach. My last menstrual period was on July 17. My boyfriend and I have been trying to conceive since January, and I've had symptoms that made me think I was pregnant. Could this be another false alarm, and how can I differentiate between psychological symptoms and actual pregnancy symptoms?

I have dryness and vaginismus, and I started using Replens yesterday. I think I made a breakthrough and need to know if I'm resolving the problem. My symptoms started over the past year and are stable but extremely painful. I'm 49, peri-menopausal, and take psychiatric drugs that cause dryness in other areas. I'm still able to have intercourse with my husband but it's very painful to start with. What could be causing this and how can I manage it?

I have been experiencing vaginal itching and redness for the past two months, with an increase in discharge that has a creamy texture. I previously had symptoms of trichomoniasis a year ago and took medication for it. I am not currently sexually active. What could be causing these symptoms and how can it be treated?

I am just about to start my birth control patches (Evra) and I want to know if there's a specific time in my cycle I should start on?

My period is a week late. I am 23 years old, on 45mg Mirtazapine for depression, and not using any contraceptives. I had intimate foreplay with my partner where semen may have come into contact with my vagina, and he also inserted his fingers into my vagina. Could this have caused pregnancy, and is it too soon to know? Additionally, could this delay be due to a hormonal imbalance or other factors?
