I received a call from my nurse practitioner stating that my pap smear came back with a low-grade lesion caused by HPV infection. She reassured me that I don't have an STI and that I need to get paps every six months to monitor. I am in a long-term relationship and don't understand what this means or why it happened.

I had my period from April 4-9th, had unprotected sex on April 13th after a condom broke, and took Plan B soon after. My period came again on April 13th, but it's now May 10th and my period is a week late. My periods are usually irregular. Am I pregnant?

I had sex with someone and ejaculated on their hand. What are the odds of pregnancy if, within 2-5 minutes after ejaculating, she puts her hand inside her vagina with the same hand? Is there enough semen for pregnancy, and what are the odds of pregnancy if I had ejaculated inside her vagina instead?

I had a Pap test and a colposcopy last week, and they found benign cellular changes. My doctor said it's just inflammation and no treatment is needed, but it's very itchy. What should I do?

I am a 19-year-old taking birth control pills (Norethindrone) since February 22. I had sex on February 15, and my partner ejaculated inside me. I had my period from February 15 to February 28, then was a week late in March, tested negative for pregnancy on March 17, and got my period from March 28 to April 3. Since around April 12, I've been experiencing spotting, which is light pink or red, sometimes with cramps. Is this due to pregnancy or the new birth control pills? I am scared.
