Why am I not getting my period when taking metformin?
Have you had your hormones checked? Metformin may not be enough to make you ovulate. You may need other medications to make ovulation occur. Please see an OB/Gyn who deals with infertility. READ MORE
Despite of following my ovulation calendar I am not pregnant. Why?
Has your partner ever fathered a child? Are you checking for ovulation with a urine predictor kit? The apps on the phone do not always work. An app on a phone could not detect if you are ovulating or not. Get an ovulation predictor kit and start checking daily with the urine test starting with day 10 of your cycle (Day 1 is the first day of your period). Maximize intercourse when you get a positive. See a provider if you are not pregnant within 6 months to 1 year. READ MORE

Will my pregnancy leg pain get better after delivery?
It makes a difference what is causing your leg pain. See a Provider and have an evaluation of your leg pain. There are many causes including blood clots, but this is not common. When the baby drops into the pelvis, you may experience leg pain just from the weight and the pull on your low back. Getting more rest, drinking more water and using a maternity belt may help you! READ MORE
Can pregnancy cause changes in heartbeat?
Pregnancy is a hyperdynamic state! Your pulse may change depending on your activity and hydration status. Your blood pressure, anxiety level and temperature may all influence your pulse rate. See a Provider if you are concerned. READ MORE
I have had 2 ectopic pregnancies. I want to concieve again. How can I prevent another one?
Why did you have ectopic pregnancies? What was done to treat them? Have you had a hysterosalpingogram to see if the fallopian tubes are clear, damaged, or obstructed? See an OB/GYN who knows about fertility concerns and get this checked out before you try again. Three times is NOT the charm with ectopic pregnancies! READ MORE
What causes sudden thick white discharge?
If the discharge is white and cheesy, it could be due to a yeast infection. Are you using any lubricant for intercourse or feminine hygiene? Some of these products can cause white discharge. See a Provider and check it out! READ MORE
Do I have genital warts or herpes
If you think you have warts or herpes, do not shave the area as you will drag the virus to other parts of your vulva. Herpes usually starts with pelvic pain before an outbreak which is not the case with HPV. Herpes comes with painful burning ulcers. HPV comes with warty growths which are often not painful. Folliculitis (ingrown hair) can be the result of shaving and can also be painful, especially if an infection occurs. There are ways to treat and prevent all three of these conditions, so see a provider and check it out! READ MORE
