I'm having an issue. My menstrual cycle has been on for the past 10 days and it seems to not be stopping. I'm not in pain or cramping but want it to stop. This is not normal for me at all; I usually have a 5-day period. What should I do?

I'm 30 years old and experiencing a lot of nausea for 6 weeks and 6 days, leading to weight loss and difficulty eating. I haven't had a recent pap test or pelvic exam, and I have a titanium rod in my right leg from femur surgery. I haven't had an ultrasound yet as I just relocated and haven't established a new doctor. I've only thrown up stomach acid, not actual food. What should I do?

Just because I’m ovulating, does that mean my chance at pregnancy is higher? How do I know if the implantation of the sperm was successful?

Is there a risk of listeria exposure for a pregnant woman if her husband ate yogurt that was left out on the counter for 45 minutes to an hour before being put back in the fridge?

Is it common for someone to get both warts and molluscum contagious at the same time for the first time? Could the psoriasis on my boyfriend's penis be either warts or molluscum contagious? Can molluscum sometimes look like warts and vice versa? If I've slept with only one person in the past 2 years, is it most likely I got it from him? Won't poking the dots with a needle spread the virus? What is the best way to treat this, and how can I find out if it's warts or molluscum or both? Can someone see a gynecologist without being referred by a doctor? Can my doctor swab one or cut one off and send it to a lab to tell me if it's a wart? If I didn't get the outbreak till about 8 months after sleeping with my current partner, is it most likely warts? If I have molluscum, does it mean he was probably unfaithful? Where do the bumps typically appear on males? If I'm not sure whether I've ever had the chicken pox, could that affect my body's response to molluscum? If someone is single with either warts or molluscum, is it hard to meet a new partner? Do potential partners have a bad reaction to hearing this sort of news? Once the warts clear, is there a good chance I could still spread the virus? Is that the same for molluscum?

I have always had irregular periods, usually very light and lasting from 2 days to 20 days, with only 2 days to a week of no bleeding before it starts again. The doctor says it's due to hormonal imbalance. I'm afraid I may never get pregnant. I've been on birth control, but whenever I stop the pill, my period goes back to being irregular. What can I do to have a regular period and improve my chances of conceiving in the future?

I had sex for the first time on August 11th and took emergency contraceptive pills (ECP) on August 12th because we didn't use a condom but he pulled out. I got my period on August 18th and again in September, but it was very light with only a few drops of blood and I had cramps and constipation. I took two pregnancy tests, both negative. Am I pregnant, and what should I do about my irregular periods and constipation?

I had a new sexual partner last weekend, protected intercourse but not protected oral sex from him to me. He reassured me several times that he was clean after very open candid discussion about the topic of STDs. Yesterday I noticed on the upper crease of my vaginal lips just as the pubic hair starts there is a red tender bump. What almost surely feels like an ingrown hair or a bug bite. I have not shaved there at all though and just trimmed. I can not see a head, just a sore red bump. Is this possibly a bug bite, an ingrown hair, the start of herpes, something else? It's just one bump, it is visibly red and under the pubic hair not on moist skin. No head or puss at all.

I had an Ectopic Pregnancy in July 2013 resulting in half of my right tube being taken. I am now 2 days late for my period and have taken 3 pregnancy tests, all returning negative results. I am concerned about another Ectopic Pregnancy and my OBGYN has instructed me to inform him immediately if I suspect I am pregnant. Is it likely that I am just late or miscalculating my period? Is it too early to test? When do HCG levels become strong enough for a positive read on home pregnancy tests (HPTs)?
