I am trying to get pregnant and I can’t seem to. I am 24 years old, my periods have been regular for the past year, and I have been trying for about a year now. I am not sure if I ovulate, but I have a calendar that might indicate when I do. I have had cysts in my ovaries, but I haven’t had a pap test or pelvic exam for a while. What should I do?

I am not sure if I have taken my birth control correctly, I had unprotected sex and am unsure if I should take Plan B. I am on day 13 after the last day of my period. I am currently on Aurovela Fe 1/20 birth control, on my 7th pack, and have missed some pills but doubled the next day. I am also on cefuroxime 500mg since July 19. Should I take Plan B, and if so, will it affect my regular period dates?

Is it normal to have a tint of yellow in discharge, with a metallic/sweet smell, sticky and watery texture, and occasional itching? I am 23 years old, had a baby in 2020, and am on birth control with a period every three months. I use shower gel and wear panty liners daily due to wet spots from discharge.

I am on my 9th month with Slynd and I normally bleed during the placebo pills on the day before I start the new pack. I started a new pack on 11/19 but I did not bleed while on the placebo pills. I had sex on 11/2 and my ovulation date was supposed to be 11/4. I am 44 years old and I think I might be in the beginning of perimenopause because I had an episode of hot flashes last month. I took a first response early results pregnancy test on 11/19 when I didn't get my period. It came back negative. I took another one on 11/21 and 11/22 and both came back negative. If I was pregnant would I get a positive result by now? My period on Slynd lessened a lot from 3 days in the beginning of taking it to 1 day and very light. But I always bled on the last day of the placebo pill except this month. I know I read that about 50% of people on Slynd after 1 year don't get a period but I am taking it for 9 months. Not at the 1 year mark yet. I took the pill consistently at the same time give or take a half hour. So my question is would my at home pregnancy test be positive by now if I were pregnant or is the absence of the period from Slynd?

I'm 16 years old and have concerns about my vaginal health. I had a smell issue that has resolved, but I'm unsure if my discharge is normal. I used to get bumps that would hurt or bleed when squeezed, and I'm worried they might be related to sexually transmitted infections, though I've never been sexually active. I've never had a pap test or pelvic exam. What could be causing these symptoms, and what should I do?
