I've been on the everyday birth control pills, but now my period is 9 days late. I took two pregnancy tests over the last week, and they both came back negative. I'm worried and wondering what could be causing this delay. Any insights?

Consider the following potential causes:
- Hormonal imbalance
- Stress
- Medication side effects
- Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
- Thyroid issues
Next steps:
- Wait a few more days and take another pregnancy test.
- Consult your healthcare provider to discuss symptoms and medical history.
- Get a blood test to check hormone levels and rule out underlying conditions.

View allI have a 2.6 cm dermoid cyst in my right ovary and some small PCOD in both ovaries could this cause problems later? Is it possible to manage this without surgery?
Yes, minimally invasive surgery is generally a good option. It usually results in faster recovery, less pain, and minimal scarring. However, final decision depends on imaging findings, symptoms, and your overall health—please consult your gynecologist.

I have adenomyosis and my doctor prescribed Esyma to help shrink it to around 45-50. I'm trying to avoid surgery since it might affect my chances of having kids. I'm on my third month of meds with a 2-week break after this, and the full course is 6 months. How much longer do I realistically have before my chances of having children are gone?

I'm dealing with a polyp in my uterus and it's causing irregular periods and spotting. It gets especially bad when I run or feel stressed. I'm really worried and wondering what can be done to help this situation?
Consider consulting a gynecologist for a thorough evaluation and discussion of treatment options for the uterine polyp, which may include watchful waiting, hormonal medications, or surgical removal via polypectomy or dilation and curettage (D&C); in the meantime, your doctor may recommend hormone-regulating medications or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to manage symptoms like irregular periods and spotting.
