I had unprotected vaginal sex with a partner on December 15th. I experienced symptoms similar to gonorrhea and chlamydia, but tests on January 3rd and January 30th (46 days post-exposure) for HIV and other STDs came back negative. I am concerned about the accuracy of my 6.5-week test results on a First Generation test, whether body chills without fever are a symptom of HIV, and my overall risk level.

I've been on birth control pills for several months now, and my period has been consistent every month except when I took Plan B. My last period was from March 1st to the 7th. I'm 20 years old, my weight is within the normal range for my height, and I've taken pregnancy tests that were negative. My partner also uses condoms during intercourse. Is it normal for my cycle to fluctuate month by month even when on birth control, and what could be causing these fluctuations?

How effective is Plan B when taken 26 hours later, and should I be concerned about pregnancy after taking it? Additionally, what are the chances of pregnancy without having sex, such as with semen on fingers, and would taking Plan B after such an incident still pose a risk?

I'm 38 years old and have been experiencing irregular periods. Recently, during a heavy period, a large mass came out of me. I took pictures before flushing it, but now I'm concerned. Is it a fibroid or something more serious? I'm afraid to go to the doctor and want to know if this is something to be worried about.

I’m on my second day of ovulation and noticed bleeding this morning. It only lasted for 3 hours. I am no longer bleeding, not using any medications, and I’m 25 years old with a history of PCOS. My cycle is slightly irregular, sometimes coming a week early or late. This last cycle was delayed until March 5th, and I had light red bleeding during ovulation that stopped within four hours. Is this normal, and should I expect it during future ovulations?
