I’m on my period which normally lasts five days, but suddenly on the third day at night, I stopped bleeding. The bleeding was heavy initially, then light, and finally stopped. I am 23 years old, not using any contraceptives or medications, and have no new habits like exercising or dieting. I started cramping last week but my period didn’t start until Saturday; the cramping stopped yesterday, but I had a headache today. My flow was heavy at first, then it stopped during sleep and didn’t start back until later.

I’m on the Ginet pill for acne, I lost my virginity on Saturday night and I’m still bleeding, we used a condom and it was painful. My period is due to start next Monday but I don’t know what’s happening. What could be causing the bleeding and pain, and should I be concerned about pregnancy?

I have been on the same birth control for about 2 years now and recently noticed brown discharge and some bleeding/spotting, along with a noticeable odor. I have not missed a single pill and take it on time every day. My last period was regular, coming every 4 weeks, and I am supposed to get it around Monday. I have only ever been sexually active with one person. What could be causing this and should I be concerned?

I got off my period last Sunday, had unprotected sex on Monday, and took Plan B right away. I started to bleed heavily this Thursday, which is not spotting. Is this normal and will it stop soon?

I experienced unexpected bleeding after intercourse, which was painful towards the end. My period was two weeks ago, and I take birth control. I also feel sore around my hips. Is this concerning, and can it be attributed to the recent sexual activity?
