My 18-year-old daughter has been taking baby aspirin daily for inflammation and acne. She is also supposed to start birth control (Ortho-Tricyclen) today. Is it safe for her to start the birth control while taking aspirin, and are there any drug interactions to be aware of?

I have PCOS and I am trying to get pregnant. My cycles are irregular, and I have been trying since July 2019. I have done tests like sugar level, TVS, and Pap smear, which detected PCOS. I am weighing 79kg and my height is 1.70m. I was asked to do a hormonal profile on days 3 and 21 of my cycle. Can I still ovulate and get pregnant naturally with PCOS? If not, can I take Clomid to boost my fertility? When should I start taking Clomid, and should I do it before or after the hormonal profile test? Also, I was advised to do HGS, but is it necessary before checking my hormonal levels?

I took 3 positive pregnancy tests and am experiencing symptoms such as sore breasts, a late period, and feeling generally unwell. I am 24 years old, had a pap test 6 months ago with no issues, and do not have a primary doctor. I am unsure of what to do next due to COVID-19 restrictions on walk-in appointments. What should I do?

I need help with my menstruation health. I was on birth control pills for 8 years and stopped taking them in September 2020. I had my period once since stopping the pill and haven't had it since. Should I schedule an appointment for a check-up?

I stopped taking my birth control pills 3 weeks ago because I was spotting a lot and now my period is late. I have been experiencing cramps, discharge, and nausea. I had unprotected sex on October 20th and took a home pregnancy test, which was negative. What could be causing my late period and what should I do?

I shower at least 2 times a day and drink a lot of water, but recently I have noticed an odd smell coming from my vagina. I started using a new vaginal wash (L. brand) about 3 weeks ago, and the smell started after my first period without birth control, which ended on the 17th. I didn't have this smell even during my period. I use condoms for contraception and am on 100mg sertraline (Zoloft). I have a slightly yellow or beige discharge and some itching, but no swelling, soreness, pain, or burning sensation with urination. What could be causing this and what can I do about it?
