I am on Ortho Lo and missed Friday's pill, but doubled up on Saturday morning. This time, I got my period on Monday, just three weeks after my last period. I've been moody, have joint aches, bloating, and gas. Is my pill still working? Should I use protection? Will I get another period when I start my sugar pills in five days? What about the leg and joint pain? The moodiness is really troublesome, typically occurring in the morning and late evening.

I am a type one diabetic. Two nights ago, I drank a lot, took 7 melatonin, and at least 43 Tylenol. I feel kind of groggy and sick, but I'm scared to go to the hospital. What should I do?

I have a wart-like bump at the top of my buttocks that bleeds when pressure is placed on it and gets very itchy. I'm not involved in any activities that would result in a sexually transmitted infection/disease. Could this be due to inadequate cleansing of the buttocks leading to infection?

Me and my boyfriend had unprotected sex on August 5, a day before ovulation, and again on August 18 and 19, with him cumming inside me multiple times. I randomly got my period on August 20, which wasn't due. We also had unprotected sex on August 25, after ovulation, and I started spotting on September 1. My cycle is apparently 42 days, and I've taken two negative pregnancy tests. I'm still spotting and experiencing bloating. Could I be pregnant, and what could be causing my irregular bleeding and spotting?
