I've been having issues with intercourse because of tightness in my vagina it feels like there's not enough space, and it's causing a mental block too. Is there any surgical option to help widen the area? I'm really hoping to conceive soon and wondering what my options are.

It sounds like you're experiencing Vaginismus, a condition where the vaginal muscles involuntarily tighten, making intercourse painful or difficult. While there's no surgical option to permanently widen the vagina, there are effective non-surgical treatments that can help relax the muscles and address the mental block, paving the way for easier intercourse and a smoother path to conception.

I'm 22 weeks pregnant and experienced spotting during my 4th month. My doctor had me on HCG injections, but now she's saying I don't need them anymore. Is it okay to just stop the injections like that, or could it mess with my hormones?

-VIt's generally safe to stop the HCG injection if your doctor advises it, as the body can maintain pregnancy on its own. However, it's always good to follow your doctor's advice closely to avoid any hormonal imbalances.
