My vagina hurts badly, especially as the day progresses, and feels like a cucumber with glass is tearing me up from my left ovary to about 1/4 inch from the opening. I have an undiagnosed autoimmune disorder suspected to be lupus, and I have a history of ovarian cysts and kidney stones. My periods have been spotty, and I have no rash, discharge, or urinary symptoms. What could be causing this pain and what tests should I consider?

I took a pregnancy test that came out negative, but there's a faint line next to it that I can barely see unless I put it to the light. I'm on birth control, and my period came on during sex last week. I'm trying to ensure my birth control did not fail. Are there any concerns with my situation, and what does the faint line indicate?

I had an hCG blood test today with a level of 1,234. My nurse said it's consistent with 5-6 weeks of pregnancy, but I think I might be either 4 or 8 weeks along due to possible implantation bleeding on Feb 13. My last normal period was Jan 16, and I have a history of miscarriage and 3 live births. What does my hCG level indicate, and what should I expect for future hCG levels if they are rising correctly?

I track my period using an app and my last period came a week early due to a high fever. Now, it's two days late according to the app. I've been sexually active since then but used protection and have taken multiple negative pregnancy tests. Could my last period have thrown off my entire cycle, or should I be concerned about pregnancy?

How do I determine the gestational age of my gestational sac? I see people say theirs measures 4 weeks or 5 weeks. How do I know what mine measures?

Does the blastocyst form at the same speed in all pregnancies, and how long does it take to form?
