Hello, I just had a positive pregnancy test this morning. However, I have had some heavy spotting for the past week. Should I be concerned? The spotting flares up and varies, not stable, going in and out. It started on the 25th and has been between pink and red. I also have PCOS.

After unprotected sex, I experienced symptoms two days later and had an STD test two weeks after the incident. In December and January, I had unusual watery discharge and vaginal irritation. I also have a cyst, a polyp, and fibroids. My partner has had itchy testicles for the last 5 days. What could be causing these symptoms, and should I be concerned about an STD?
