I have had period symptoms but no period, and they've been late for 3 days. My last period began on February 12, and I am not on any contraceptives or medications, only taking vitamins. I haven't been sexually active, so I know I'm not pregnant. I'm 23 years old, generally have regular periods, and have been experiencing anxiety and abdominal cramps. I also have vaginal itching and swelling, with a white/light yellow discharge but no strong odor. What could be causing this and what should I do?

Should I be concerned about this D-dimer level during pregnancy, especially given my history of COVID-19, and is there a specific level I should be alert for regarding possible clotting issues?

My boyfriend's penis started bleeding a lot during sex and hasn't stopped. How long have you dealt with the bleeding? Is this issue stable or getting worse? Are you using any medications, either for the bleeding or anything else? How old are you? Anything else in your medical history you think the Doctor should know?
