I am on Minastrin FE birth control and missed a pill, taking it 12 hours late. I resumed taking it normally but had unprotected sex and took Plan B. Five days later, a condom broke and I took another Plan B. Over the past six days, I've been taking my regular birth control and two Plan Bs. Is it safe?

I took 3 birth control pills last night because I missed three days on my new pack due to a delayed prescription. I've been experiencing nausea, vomiting, dry heaving, fatigue, and diarrhea all day. Should I continue this birth control pack and take the pill I'm supposed to take today? Or will I feel worse? Did I mess up the whole cycle, and what should I do next?

I believe I am experiencing my first yeast infection. I have had itchiness and discomfort starting yesterday afternoon, with mild itching today and a light yellow/white, cottage cheese-like, creamy discharge. I also have mild itching and burning that comes and goes, a strong/foul odor, redness, soreness, and swelling. I am not sexually active and have no pain during sex. What can I do to treat this at home or should I go to a doctor?

I'm 27 years old, not sexually active. This month, around ovulation, I had reddish-brown to light pink spotting for a couple of days, which sometimes happens to me. About a week before my period is due, I had very light spotting for a couple of hours, along with slight cramping and pain in the vaginal area. Now, when I'm due for my period, I'm experiencing brownish spotting, which is a mix between spotting and a very light period. This month, I'm getting more symptoms with the spotting and pain than I normally do. Could this be related to stress, a recent sinus infection treated with Azithromycin, or something more serious?

I am experiencing sore, swollen, and itchy labia after vigorous sex, with some abnormal discharge and a slight fishy odor. What can I do to alleviate these symptoms?
