I experienced a threatening miscarriage on November 1st and went to the ER. I felt like I had a miscarriage on Sunday. I had an ultrasound before the miscarriage when I was 5 weeks pregnant, and after going to the ER, they said it was a threatening miscarriage. I had a lot of bleeding on Sunday, and now the bleeding is medium. I have an ultrasound appointment on November 14th. Can I wait until then, or should I rush to the hospital? Is it normal to have heavy bleeding and then the bleeding stops and then continues again? Why do I have clot-like heavy bleeding after 2 days of miscarriage and uncontrollable cramps? Does the placenta and the sac come out together in a 5-week pregnancy? I experienced placenta expulsion after 4 days. Today the bleeding is less, but I even have a light fever. Is it a chance of infection? My bleeding has stopped, so can I do masturbate or have back sex? Is vaginal sex safe with a condom? If the blood flow has stopped, does it mean that the pregnancy tissue is expelled off? It's been 1 week today, so would a home pregnancy kit help me to get the result, or would it still be positive?

I am experiencing constant sharp pain on the surface of my vagina for the past 2 days. I have a history of pain during sexual intercourse and frequent yeast infections. I am 19 years old, have thick white discharge, high urine frequency, and urinary burning. I have taken a pregnancy test and am not pregnant. What could be causing this pain and what should I do?

I recently noticed that my vaginal opening looks different with strange tissues I’ve never noticed before. I am 26 years old and have had this concern for about a week. I am currently on ketorolac 10mg and famciclovir 500mg. I noticed swollen light pink tissue almost protruding from the vaginal canal, and there are also sores that were tested for HSV 1 and 2 but the results were negative. I was seen on April 15th for the sores and was diagnosed with a UTI. I was prescribed nitrofurantoin 100mg, ketorolac 10mg, and famciclovir 500mg. What could be causing this change, and should I be concerned?

I am two weeks late for my period and I took a pregnancy test, which came back negative. I am 20 years old, have never had a pap test, and have been experiencing some stress due to being laid off from work. My periods have been irregular in the past, but never this late. What could be causing the delay and what should I do?

I am on the third week of using a birth control patch and experiencing breakthrough bleeding that is as heavy as my normal period. I used this patch before without side effects, but I stopped for two years and restarted recently. My last period was two weeks ago, and my cycles are irregular, possibly due to PCOS. There are no cramps, nausea, or fevers, but the blood is dark red with clots. I have not changed my diet, weight, or medications, but I have been under some stress. What could be causing this heavy bleeding, and does it relate to PCOS?

When I was little, I let my dog lick my vagina and anus. I'm now an adult with no symptoms or issues in those areas. Should I be tested for anything, and am I okay? I'm in a monogamous relationship and have been tested for STDs. Can I be tested for zoonoses, and would I have shown symptoms as a child if I had contracted one?
