I'm pregnant and took Ambien (10 mg full dose once every few days, 3 mg 1/3 dose every other night) during the first three weeks of my pregnancy, and used boric acid vaginal suppositories (3-4 suppositories, one every few days) for a yeast infection. I'm worried about the potential toxicity and fetal effects of these substances. How safe are they, and what data supports their safety?

I am a 19-year-old female who recently had a child five months ago. Since then, I have experienced irregular bleeding, spotting between periods, and a lot of discharge, sometimes yellowish, with a strong fishy odor. I also experience pain during sex and in my lower abdomen. My partner recently had pain when urinating after intercourse with me, which he says is improving. Could this be Chlamydia, and what should I do?

I haven't had my period for 89 days. My last period was on April 30, and I'm not using any contraceptives or medications. I'm 26 years old, overweight, and have PCOS, but a scan showed it's not severe. I'm sexually active but haven't taken a pregnancy test. What could be causing my missed periods, and what should I do?
