I've been feeling uneasy and nervous for the last 2-3 days. On the 15th of this month (a day before my expected period), my discharge looked very questionable. It’s consistency was off and didn’t match my usual yeast-like discharge before every period. On the 16th, my period was expected to be due. I had the cramps and backache, so I was sure it was to be coming. In the afternoon, I had some of the usual light brown blood/discharge on the supposed first day, but that was it. No further period blood came. When going to the bathroom throughout the day, I believe I had what was some of the discharge (it looked a little brown/red). Again, no further blood. This hasn’t happened to me before and I am starting to become very nervous and self-conscious as this could be a sign of something else? Will my period come throughout the day? If it may help, on the 4th of this month, my partner and I had protected sex. And I do regularly take and use my birth control. I write this message for self-assurance and some guidance to ease my nerves and thoughts. Any response would be appreciated. Thank you.

I am 11 weeks pregnant and some very small things that look like dirt are coming out with my urine. Is this something to be worried about?

I have severe asthma and Covid. I'm scheduled to get monoclonal antibodies tomorrow. Should I proceed with the treatment, considering my mild symptoms and the potential for a reaction?

Can you update me on my dermatitis and see what your thoughts are? I was using Topicort for a week and now using it twice a week with aquaphor in between. I'm worried if this could be tied to an STI like herpes or HIV, especially since my partner had a sore throat the next day after sex. I had a herpes antibody test at 19 weeks which was negative. Is this test accurate, and could I still have herpes or HSV-1 despite no blisters and negative tests?
