Why is my menstrual cycle wrong?
You may have something called Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. It is a complicated situation best discussed with a gynecologist. Often it can cause irregular menses and problems with ovulation. The combined pill is a good way to treat it until you are ready to become pregnant. Because of the problem with ovulation it can be harder to conceive. If you are overweight it can bring your hormones into regulation by losing 10% of your total weight. If you do decide to try to get pregnant and your menses are not regular you should see someone (probably gynecology) familiar with treatment to help. READ MORE
Is it harder to get pregnant after a miscarriage?
Not in most cases. The most common reason for a miscarriage is a problem with the fetal chromosomes that comes from either the egg or the sperm. This is not a problem with the parents but just that particular pregnancy. There are other problems that cause miscarriage but they are rare. READ MORE
Can you get a positive pregnancy test 4 weeks after miscarriage?
Yes. It may still be from the pregnancy that miscarried. It takes a while to clear the HCG. The higher the HCG the longer it takes to clear. READ MORE
HPV?
It has likely been dormant for 17 years. Sometimes a change in immune status can cause this. READ MORE
Vaginal bumps?
You could have a number of things. Herpes is the most consistent with your symptoms. Making an appointment while still having symptoms is the best for a diagnosis to be made. READ MORE
Period?
Yes, you can get pregnant. It is likely that your periods are off because of months that you are not ovulating. In most cases this is because of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. Make an appointment with a gynecologist for this because women with this syndrome are at risk for endometrial cancer when not having regular cycles. READ MORE
Pregnancy?

Am I pregnant?
The use of Plan B is licensed for up to 72 hours after unprotected sex. It has up to a 3% risk of pregnancy. There are many factors that impact that including timing during your cycle, body weight and medications as examples. The bleeding is likely because of Plan B which is a hormone. When you take it you can have bleeding. The most important issue for you to consider is to find a long term contraceptive so you do not have an unintended pregnancy. There are many safe methods. Many can decrease pain and bleeding during menses as well. READ MORE

Should I go to the hospital if my water breaks but no contractions?

Is it normal to have discharge while pregnant?
It is normal in most cases and caused by hormonal changes. If there is any odor or itching/burning it may be caused by something else and should be checked by a provider. READ MORE
How do babies breathe in the womb after the water breaks?
Babies don't need to breathe in utero, but do continue to practice breathing even after your water breaks. The fetal circulation gives the baby the oxygen needed until delivery. At that time, the circulation switches to newborn circulation as the baby takes breaths and forces the amniotic fluid out of the lungs. READ MORE
