I am concerned about the possibility of an ectopic pregnancy and the effectiveness of my Liletta IUD, which was placed in September 2016. I had unprotected sex on January 15, took Plan B on January 17, and had my last period starting on January 28. I have been experiencing some pelvic pain on the right side, but it feels more like muscle or gas pain. I can still feel my IUD strings, and they were recently checked by a nurse practitioner who said everything looked okay. I am worried about the IUD's effectiveness after 6 years and the possibility of an ectopic pregnancy. Could my period be mistaken for ectopic bleeding, and how much pain is associated with an ectopic pregnancy? Do antihistamines affect pregnancy tests, and is it possible to have a period two weeks after intercourse? Could my IUD have moved or failed, and would someone looking at it be able to tell? With a hormonal IUD, do I still ovulate?

I am a 23-year-old female with a regular menstrual cycle. My period is two days late, and I have not had sexual intercourse, but I was recently cuddling with my boyfriend in panties. I am not using any medications and am not suffering from any illness. I am currently stressed due to upcoming exams. What could be causing my delayed period, and should I be concerned?

I have been experiencing vaginal discomfort, itching, and a foul odor for about a week. I used Monistat for 7 days, which initially seemed to help, but now the odor has returned. Additionally, I have noticed small sores or wounds in the area. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I have a late period. My periods are not always the same, but they have never been later than the 24th of the month. This month, I have yet to get my period. I tested for pregnancy yesterday and the day before but got negative results. Am I testing too early, or what else could be causing my late period?

I had protected sex on May 14, 2022, and experienced unusual bleeding around the time my period was supposed to start, which lasted for six days. I took four pregnancy tests, all of which were negative. I am now experiencing cramps and am concerned about the possibility of pregnancy. Could the bleeding have been implantation bleeding, and what are the chances I am pregnant?

I haven't had my period for about three months and I'm not pregnant. I have been diagnosed with endometriosis and experience pelvic pain on my left side. I am sexually active and do not use protection. What could be causing my missed period and how can it be regulated?
