My periods are regular, and I had my last one 29 days ago. I am sexually active, having had oral sex with one partner in the past 3 months, but I don't have any unusual cramps, itchiness, or other symptoms. I've never had an STD screen or been diagnosed with an STD. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I went to the ER 4 days ago with severe back pain, nausea, and fatigue during my first menstrual period after stopping birth control. The doctor gave me morphine, zofran, and tramadol. I then visited my OB-GYN who prescribed Loestrin 24. For two days, I was bedridden but pain-free, though dizzy, tired, and vomiting. I took zofran to alleviate these symptoms. My period has stopped, but I still feel unwell. Why am I still experiencing dizziness, fatigue, and stomach pain, and could it be related to my hormones?
