Why am I heavily bleeding 5 days after my period? I used Plan B exactly 5 days ago, which started off light then got a little heavy and has been stable since. I am 18 years old and not using any medications. I am concerned because I leave for MEPS (military entrance processing station) on Monday.

I am trying to get pregnant and I can’t seem to. I am 24 years old, my periods have been regular for the past year, and I have been trying for about a year now. I am not sure if I ovulate, but I have a calendar that might indicate when I do. I have had cysts in my ovaries, but I haven’t had a pap test or pelvic exam for a while. What should I do?

I am not sure if I have taken my birth control correctly, I had unprotected sex and am unsure if I should take Plan B. I am on day 13 after the last day of my period. I am currently on Aurovela Fe 1/20 birth control, on my 7th pack, and have missed some pills but doubled the next day. I am also on cefuroxime 500mg since July 19. Should I take Plan B, and if so, will it affect my regular period dates?

Is it normal to have a tint of yellow in discharge, with a metallic/sweet smell, sticky and watery texture, and occasional itching? I am 23 years old, had a baby in 2020, and am on birth control with a period every three months. I use shower gel and wear panty liners daily due to wet spots from discharge.
