Today, according to ultrasound, I am 6 weeks 1 day pregnant. My LMP was 5/11 and I typically have a 33-45 day cycle. They found a small subchorionic bleed and a fetal pole with a heartbeat of 114.

My spouse was diagnosed with PCOS and is taking Metformin ER, Junel Fe, and 10mg escitalopram for depression. She has been experiencing occasional lower abdominal pain, described as sharp period-like pain, which has been occurring since before switching to immediate release metformin. The pain is intense (around 9/10) and lasts for about 30 seconds, occurring once every couple of days. Is this something to be concerned about, considering metformin's rare complications?

I have a rope-like swelling on one side of my Labia Majora that extends into my pubic mons. It has been there for 3 days and hasn't gotten bigger, possibly even slightly smaller. It is not painful, and I am not pregnant. This occurred after a small cyst popped on its own. What could this be and is it an immediate concern?

I am on Altavera (a form of birth control pill) and ended my last period on August 1. I stopped taking the birth control and took the placebos while having unprotected sex. 11 days after my last period, I noticed light pink spotting, followed by a heavier dark flow and light cramps for two days, which has now stopped. Should I be worried about a potential pregnancy?
