I would like to start using birth control. I have never used it before, my last period was from December 13th to the 18th, I am not using any medications, I am 20 years old, and I don't have any significant medical history. When should I get my annual exam done, and what birth control methods are most effective?

I had to take Plan B on Wednesday after unprotected sex on Tuesday night. My last period began on February 15, and my period tracker said I was ovulating, but it usually predicts my period too early. Is Plan B still effective, and is there anything else I can do to be safe?

I had unprotected sex on February 18 while being 7 days on birth control and took Plan B. I got my period on Monday/Tuesday, but I'm still worried about getting pregnant. What should I do?

I just had a positive pregnancy test and have been spotting for the past two weeks, which has recently worsened to the point of needing a panty liner. The discharge is dark brown and there is no fresh blood. I also have PCOS. Is there cause for worry, and what should I do?

I had condom sex not long ago and a couple of days later, I noticed bumps around my vagina opening. What could it be?
