Me and my husband have been trying to conceive. This month I missed my period and am on day 4. I had light pink spotting earlier and dark brown spotting today, otherwise nothing. My breasts are sore and I feel very tired. I took a pregnancy test, but it was negative. I have never missed my period before. Is it possible I will test positive in a few more days? My cycle is 29+\\- days. I am 24 years old, my last period was June 12-16, and I have had spotting between cycles but very rarely. I also experience cramping in my lower abdomen, feeling very tired, and had a lot of very watery clear discharge prior to my period, now having sticky white discharge but very minimal. I am on a biologic medication called Entyvio for ulcerative colitis.

I have a rash-like spot around my urination exit on my penis head. It does not hurt when I pee or at all, and it is not itchy either. I have treated it with bepanthene for a week, but it has not improved or worsened. The rash comes and goes, sometimes getting smaller and sometimes swollen, and it becomes bright red after masturbation. I am 31 years old, have had a lot of sex with different partners in the last three months, and have used different condoms. What could be the cause of the rash, and how can I treat it?
