I am not pregnant, but I am worried about my irregular periods and unusual bleeding. I have taken two negative pregnancy tests, but my period started 10 days early after unprotected sex and has continued for two days. The blood ranges from thick and brown to dark red, and I also had watery discharge. I am on the Nuva Ring for regular periods, but they seem to be getting worse. Should I be concerned, and what should I do about the bleeding and cramping?

I just found out I am pregnant at 35 years old. My sister had issues during her pregnancy, and I want to assess my risk. My blood test results show that I am RH positive and Kell negative. How can I determine if my baby is at risk for Kell positive, and what can I do to manage water retention during pregnancy?

I have a small bump on the opening of my vagina - one on the left and two on the right. They hurt only when I touch them a lot otherwise I don't feel them. The left one has been there since October and they are probably 1mm in diameter. I haven’t had sex for a year. A previous doctor told me the one on my left side could be a cyst. But I noticed the other two today. Is it increasing in size? Do you have any other symptom? Pain? Any other past illness? Did you consult a doctor or have any test? Did you take any medicine?

I slept with a new partner last month and about one week later, I started experiencing itchiness down there, which seemed like a non-severe yeast infection. I got an STD panel for all things except trich/BV, and everything was negative, including herpes. After one month, we slept together again, and the same symptoms are happening one week later. The itchiness is mostly bad at night and on the inside, and it comes and goes. There is no bad odor, and there is very little discharge. The symptoms are red and scaly, similar to before. Does this sound like herpes, or is it possible to get a negative test during an outbreak?

I had sex with my ex five days ago and my vagina still hurts extremely bad. I think my body was rejecting because I was extremely tight and the sex was very painful. But just laying down and doing nothing hurts as well as peeing, which stings. Is the vagina pain constant or does it come and go? Are you managing the vagina pain with any medications? What are all the medications you're currently using, either for the vagina pain or anything else? How old are you? Are there any other symptoms or changes you've noticed in your vaginal area, such as discharge or swelling? Have you experienced any bleeding or spotting since you had sex with your ex five days ago?
