Yes, there can be clear bumps I suppose in the labia but I’m not sure what they might be. A boil perhaps? It is so hard to know over the internet. And did you tell me previously that the clinician couldn’t see it when you pointed it out?
You know, how much a person tests is so individual. Up until 16 weeks, I don’t personally think there is a limit to how many tests a person should take. If someone continues to test negative and after 16 weeks is still testing, then I think that’s too much testing. The risk of more testing is that you could get a false positive (usually indicated by a low index value). And of course there is the cost. You’ve not had any false positives yet and in my experience, usually a false positive happens from the beginning of testing and continues. So you might be fine in that regard. If you are negative at 12 weeks, I think there is an excellent chance you will stay that way.
