I am on my 9th month with Slynd and I normally bleed during the placebo pills on the day before I start the new pack. I started a new pack on 11/19 but I did not bleed while on the placebo pills. I had sex on 11/2 and my ovulation date was supposed to be 11/4. I am 44 years old and I think I might be in the beginning of perimenopause because I had an episode of hot flashes last month. I took a first response early results pregnancy test on 11/19 when I didn't get my period. It came back negative. I took another one on 11/21 and 11/22 and both came back negative. If I was pregnant would I get a positive result by now? My period on Slynd lessened a lot from 3 days in the beginning of taking it to 1 day and very light. But I always bled on the last day of the placebo pill except this month. I know I read that about 50% of people on Slynd after 1 year don't get a period but I am taking it for 9 months. Not at the 1 year mark yet. I took the pill consistently at the same time give or take a half hour. So my question is would my at home pregnancy test be positive by now if I were pregnant or is the absence of the period from Slynd?

I'm 16 years old and have concerns about my vaginal health. I had a smell issue that has resolved, but I'm unsure if my discharge is normal. I used to get bumps that would hurt or bleed when squeezed, and I'm worried they might be related to sexually transmitted infections, though I've never been sexually active. I've never had a pap test or pelvic exam. What could be causing these symptoms, and what should I do?

My partner just had intercourse less than 15 minutes ago. I wore a butt plug with a jeweled top, and he wore a latex-free condom. After protected sex, we noticed red bumps, about 3-4 on the tip of his penis. The bumps are not itchy or painful and appeared immediately after sex. Could the bumps be caused by the friction from the jeweled butt plug?

I started bleeding today, but my period is still a few weeks away. Is it implantation bleeding? I shouldn't be ovulating yet.

I have had a vaginal rash for over 2 months. It's outside and not in the vagina, and I am not sexually active. I have tried hypoallergenic soaps and sensitive skin soaps recommended by gynecologists. The rash is stable but itches and can bleed if I scratch it. It's a little swollen and has small bumps around hair follicles. I've tried shaving and applying hydrocortisone cream, which seemed to make it last longer. Is there anything else I can do to treat this rash?

For the past three months, I have had two periods each month, bleeding for a week, having a day without bleeding, and then bleeding for another week. This month, I am four days late for my period, despite having taken the morning-after pill and experiencing symptoms like sore breasts and intense cramps. My periods were previously very regular. What could be causing this irregularity, and what tests or treatments should I consider?
