I am taking Lo loestrin fe birth control pills. I want to know if it's okay to take my pill a few hours later than the regular scheduled time, as long as I am taking them every day. Additionally, I want to know if it's okay to continue taking the pill during my period.

I am a 25-year-old female with ulcerative colitis in remission, taking mesalamine pills (4 daily) and one suppository. I am on my period and had a bloody stool today, unsure if it's related to my UC or my period. My periods have been fine for the last 6-7 months, but could my period cause any UC issues, and would this go away once it's over? Should I increase my mesalamine for a couple of days to help prevent a flare? If so, how much should I increase it by, and for how long? At what point should I contact my GI specialist?

Are you familiar with Plan B’s mechanism of action? Specifically, if Plan B is taken after ovulation or fertilization, does it have any effect, and can it cause an early period? How should an early period be interpreted if Plan B is taken after ovulation or fertilization?

I accidentally inserted a wet wipe into my vagina and it seems to have disappeared. I can't feel it anymore and am unsure if it fell out or if I pushed it further in. I'm worried about potential infection, pain, or complications if it's still inside. Should I be concerned about infection? Do I need to go to the doctor or ER? If it's still inside, will it come out on its own? Should I avoid sex until I can confirm it's not inside?
