I'm currently 10 weeks and 5 days pregnant. I've been taking 600mg of Gabapentin 3 times daily for chronic pain since May 2017, but I've been trying to reduce the dose frequency since finding out about the pregnancy. I'm concerned about the potential effects on the baby and I don't have insurance. What should I do about my medication and prenatal care?

I had sex on May 12th using a condom, taking birth control pills (Sprintec), and took Plan B within 72 hours. My period was delayed and I experienced irregular bleeding and spotting. I took a qualitative blood pregnancy test on June 10th, which was negative. I'm concerned about the accuracy of the test and the side effects like irregular bleeding and white discharge. Is the test accurate, and what can I expect regarding my bleeding and discharge?

I have recently experienced vaginal itching, burning, swelling of the vaginal lips, and a raw feeling in the perineum area. The swelling sensation has been present for a couple of months, and the itching has been constant for three days. I am a 66-year-old diabetic taking various medications, including farixga, and have not had sex in eight years. I also suffer from vaginal dryness. What could be causing these symptoms and what can I do to alleviate them?
