I had sex 3 weeks ago using a condom both times. My period is 8 days late, but I have had irregular periods my whole life. I started birth control 4 or 5 years ago and decided to get off of it 2 months ago. I am mostly worried about pregnancy, but also wondering why my period is not starting if I am not pregnant. My family has a history of thyroid problems, could this be a sign that my thyroid is messing up?

I recently noticed a small lump on my labia that hasn’t caused any discomfort since I realized it 3 days ago. The lump has slightly improved but is still present. It’s not itchy and is a fleshy blush color, similar to the rest of my skin. I am 27 years old, take Tylenol and vitamins, and had genital herpes and HPV in 2015, which cleared on their own. I also have some vaginal dryness. What could be the cause of the lump, and when should I be concerned?
