I am a 36-year-old woman trying to conceive with a history of high prolactin, currently on 0.5ml of bromocriptine. I experience acne, missed periods, and vaginal dryness. I need to know how to prepare for conception and what tests are necessary to ensure my fallopian tubes are functioning properly.

I've had my period for 20 days. I have the Nexplanon arm implant, which I got in February. My periods have been irregular and lasting longer than usual for the last three cycles, fluctuating from very light to very heavy. I am also on Bupropion and have developed acne on my jawline over the last few months. What could be causing these issues and what can I do about them?

I have had recurrent bacterial vaginosis for over a year, despite trying metronidazole gel, a capsule, and clindamycin. I have also started a probiotic and made diet changes, which have helped but not fully resolved the issue. Should I try an oral and a vaginal cream at the same time?

What can I take for vaginal itching, which has been occurring for 3 days with no other symptoms, and how can I manage it?

I have severe and extreme PMDD with symptoms including severe breast pain and swelling, anger, irritability, depression, anxiety, and panic. I've tried exercise, meditation, supplements, and SSRIs without success. Recently, topical progesterone has reduced my symptoms to 6-7 days of misery instead of 2 weeks. I haven't had blood work in a while but was previously told I'm estrogen dominant. Is there anything else I can do to help my PMDD, and are there any dangers associated with using topical progesterone given my family history of breast, ovarian, and thyroid cancers?
