Melissa W. asked
I am a current mother of 2, on birth control (the patch), but have not always followed directions precisely. I had unprotected sex during potentially ovulating periods and am experiencing symptoms like sore breasts, constipation, fluid retention, nipple changes, irritation, sweating, a weird taste in my mouth, gas, fatigue, poor concentration, and changes in discharge. My last period began on May 27, and I started birth control in March. I am 27 years old and use Adderall as needed.

I unfortunately caught COVID and began my period around the same time. My period usually lasts about 5 days. This cycle I am on day 5 and still bleeding a bit. Also experiencing mild cramping on and off. Can COVID mess with your period?

My period is late by 40 days, and a pregnancy test taken on the 38th day after my last period was negative. I have a 30-day period cycle, and my partner uses condoms, but we had unprotected intercourse on my ovulation day. What could be the reason for my late period?

My period is late by 6 days, which has never happened before, and the pregnancy test is negative. I am not using any contraceptives, medications, or have any chronic conditions. I am 19 years old and recently received my first COVID vaccine. What could be causing the delay, and what should I do next?
