Last night, I used a new sex toy for the first time and immediately experienced severe uterine cramping. The cramping and discomfort lasted until I went to sleep. Since waking up, I've had sharp, intermittent pain on the upper left side of my vagina that radiates to my pelvic area and stomach. I'm also still having cramping. I have no history of STDs or OBGYN issues, except for a cyst on my cervix that was not causing any pain. What could be causing this pain, and should I seek medical help if it doesn't go away?

My period ended eight days ago, but I noticed dark brown spotting yesterday, which turned into heavy bleeding this morning. I'm 20 years old, don't use contraceptives, and have a clean medical history. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My partner and I had unprotected sex using the pull-out method. She typically has a 20-23 day cycle, and her period is due in 8 days. Should I be concerned about the possibility of pregnancy?

When does bleeding end after a D&C? I was 9.5 weeks pregnant with twins and had the D&C on November 1. I am 28, this is my second pregnancy, with the first carried to term and delivered naturally in July 2022. I am experiencing brown/dark red bleeding, not using contraceptives, no burning or itching while passing urine, and have been stressed about the situation. I have not had sex since before the D&C.
