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?

I am a 46-year-old female with genital herpes type 1, contracted at age 19, with almost no outbreaks in the past 10 years. My partner recently developed a severe rash on his upper inner thigh, base of his penis, and scrotum, which spread to his arms and was diagnosed as herpes. A few days later, I developed a severe, itchy rash on my clitoral area and vulva, which spread to my fingers. My outbreaks have never been this severe or itchy before. What could be causing this, and should we be concerned about a misdiagnosis?

What does a progesterone level of 2.41 on cycle day 23 indicate, and what steps should be taken to ensure ovulation and induce a period if it doesn't naturally occur?

I have PCOS and recently went through IVF, resulting in a miscarriage at 6 weeks. After the miscarriage, I experienced heavy bleeding for 5 days, then spotting for 14 days. My OBGYN prescribed Progesterone, but the spotting did not stop, and I started my period, which is much heavier than normal, requiring a change of sanitary products every hour. Should I call my doctor?

I have a lump on top of my vagina that has been present for about 6 years. The radiologist report mentioned both benign and malignant possibilities and noted extensive posterior acoustic shadowing associated with the nodule. I am 54 years old, had a hysterectomy in 2015 due to uterine fibroids (no cancer found), and have had no irregular pap smears. What does the report mean, and what should I do next?
