Every time I have sex, I experience an urge to pee afterwards, which lasts for about an hour. I go to the bathroom but only a couple of drops come out. This is not a UTI as I've had one before and it's different. There's no stinging, just a constant annoying urge to pee. What can this be and how can I prevent it from happening?

I am taking Linessa 21 birth control pills. After finishing the first package, do I need additional protection during the 7-day break? If I take the pills regularly at the same time each day, do I still need condoms during the break? Are there any other situations that might lead to pregnancy even if I take the pills regularly? If I change the time I take the pills, do I need additional protection? If I stop taking the pills for a while and start again, can I use Linessa 21 instead of 28 for the first package, and how many days should I take to ensure safety without condoms?

I am experiencing pregnancy symptoms such as morning nausea, breast swelling, moodiness, and mild to moderate cramping in my lower abdomen, which feels like constipation. I am also having hot flashes and sweating, especially when stressed. I am concerned about whether these symptoms could indicate an ectopic pregnancy or miscarriage. Additionally, I am currently reducing my intake of lorazepam and alcohol under my psychiatrist's guidance, and I am unsure if this is contributing to my symptoms. What should I do to manage these symptoms and ensure my pregnancy is progressing normally?
