I was using a 4% hydroquinone cream for three months, stopped in September, and briefly restarted in mid-November. I am concerned about its effect on conception and pregnancy safety. I have hypothyroidism and am taking prenatal vitamins. Should I continue with our conception planning, or should we wait a few months?

I am 32 years old and had abnormal pap results indicating atypical squamous cells, which were precancerous. After having them removed, I noticed a pain on my left side and was diagnosed with endometrial lining thickening, a polyp, and a fibroid. My doctor suggested a D&C and hysteroscopy, but I am hesitant due to my sensitivity to anesthesia and the effectiveness of herbal treatments I've tried. My periods have returned to normal, and my last pap was perfect. Are the procedures necessary, and what are the risks if I do have them?

I have taken three pregnancy tests (two at home and one at the doctor's office) and had a pap smear, but I still haven't had my period. My last period ended on 07/08/08. Is it possible that I am pregnant?

My girlfriend went on the pill a little over a month ago. We had unprotected sex 14 days after she started the pill, with my orgasm outside. Her period is a full day late today and she barely bled a few days ago. An at-home pregnancy test has been negative so far. We also had full sex a few days ago with orgasm inside. Why is she barely having a period, and is there a chance of pregnancy?
