I am on Minastrin FE birth control and missed a pill, taking it 12 hours late. I resumed taking it normally but had unprotected sex and took Plan B. Five days later, a condom broke and I took another Plan B. Over the past six days, I've been taking my regular birth control and two Plan Bs. Is it safe?

You are safe from pregnancy. Missing only one pill and taking it 12 hours late, followed by resuming...

I took 3 birth control pills last night because I missed three days on my new pack due to a delayed prescription. I've been experiencing nausea, vomiting, dry heaving, fatigue, and diarrhea all day. Should I continue this birth control pack and take the pill I'm supposed to take today? Or will I feel worse? Did I mess up the whole cycle, and what should I do next?

I believe I am experiencing my first yeast infection. I have had itchiness and discomfort starting yesterday afternoon, with mild itching today and a light yellow/white, cottage cheese-like, creamy discharge. I also have mild itching and burning that comes and goes, a strong/foul odor, redness, soreness, and swelling. I am not sexually active and have no pain during sex. What can I do to treat this at home or should I go to a doctor?

I'm 27 years old, not sexually active. This month, around ovulation, I had reddish-brown to light pink spotting for a couple of days, which sometimes happens to me. About a week before my period is due, I had very light spotting for a couple of hours, along with slight cramping and pain in the vaginal area. Now, when I'm due for my period, I'm experiencing brownish spotting, which is a mix between spotting and a very light period. This month, I'm getting more symptoms with the spotting and pain than I normally do. Could this be related to stress, a recent sinus infection treated with Azithromycin, or something more serious?

I am experiencing sore, swollen, and itchy labia after vigorous sex, with some abnormal discharge and a slight fishy odor. What can I do to alleviate these symptoms?

I experienced a panic attack last night and want to know if I need to go into the ER to check the baby or if relaxing at home is best. I am 31 weeks pregnant, have no medications for mental health, and take prenatal vitamins, iron pills, and B6 pills. This is my first panic attack during pregnancy and the second in my lifetime. I have normal fetal movements, no severe belly cramps, no bleeding, and the panic attack has passed.
