Endometriosis & Chocolate cyst

I have endometriosis and chocolate cyst since last 1 year. Doctors gave Dienogest 2mg. Have missed periods for that since October. But cyst size have not reduced since that. Before that if was reducing slightly. Now stopped. Don't know what's the solution to this. Will I have to continue Dienogest lifelong?

Do we get conceive even after periods

Hi, Can you please help me to understand, should I worry about getting pregnant even after getting the periods ( my understanding is that once after we get periods then we don't). But on the internet it shows there is a possibility which is scary so please confirm.

Mild spotting after conceiving.

In 5th week of pregnancy, having mild spotting and it is not continuously. Not having any cramps or pain in stomach.please suggest what should I do. What can be the reason.

Is this faint positive?

Day of my missed period. Tested this. Within 3-4 mins a faint pink line occured at T. Is this considered negative or a faint positive? Also. I wonder if Preganews is reliable for home test?

Vaginal Itching

I think I may have an early stage yeast infection. It has been itching for a few days. Yesterday I examined it myself with a mirror. There was thick, white, clumpy discharge in my folds around the clitoral hood. I cleaned up. Itching subsided for a while. It resumed today. I checked again. There was discharge again. The discharge did not have any odor either. There is no burning or stinging. No itching inside the vagina, just near clit and a little down near the base. It may have been caused because I was on antibiotics during this period (amoxycillin). I am also fairly sexually active which could have played a part. Should I use Clotrimazole 1% or 2%? If so, for how long? If not, what should I take to get the itching to subside? Or should I just Fluconazole 150mg? Or anything else??
