  • PCOS and Ovulation

    QUESTION

    Dear Midwife,
    I was just wondering if you have to have a period every month to conceive and or ovulate?

    I was diagnosed with PCOS years ago and so my periods are very irregular. I don't even know for sure if I am even ovulating. How can I find out if I am ovulating when I do have my period?

    Thank you,
    Misty

  • Is This Considered Irregular?

    QUESTION

    Dear Midwife,

    QUESTION

    Dear Midwife,

  • Lifestyle changes and parenthood

    QUESTION

    Dear Midwife,
    I'm almost nineteen and my boyfriend and I have decided to start trying to get pregnant, but I have a few questions.

    First, almost two years ago I got a pap and they said I had HPV. I got treatment for it and went back the next year and they said everything was fine. Could I still have it and if I do could HPV harm my baby when I am pregnant or giving birth?

    Second, I still have my hymen, the skin that is supposed to go away when your younger. Should I get it removed before giving birth?

  • Why Would Breasts be Leaking 8 Month Later?

    QUESTION

    Dear Lactation Consultant,
    Hello. I have a small concern. Last week I had a longer lasting than normal period. Now this week, I still have all the physical aches and pains that go along with menstruation. I also noticed that I have a liquid that sure looks like colostrum leaking from both breasts. I weaned my son eight months ago. Do you know what could be causing this? Any help you could give me would be appreciated.
