I am 19 years old and have had yellow discharge since I was 12. I am sexually active and want to know if having yellow discharge is bad during sex.

I am 6 weeks pregnant and noticed brown blood/discharge on my underwear a few hours ago. The discharge is not constant, has a bloody odor when smelled closely, and is sticky in texture. My last period started on 2/6/2023 and ended on 2/10/2023. I have no medical history except prenatal vitamins since having my first baby last August. What could this discharge be and should I be concerned?

I've been using boric acid suppositories for about five days to treat a yeast infection and now I'm experiencing cramping. Should I be concerned?

I recently had a yeast infection, which I believe was caused by taking antibiotics (amoxicillin). The infection seemed to go away, but a day later, my vulva became itchy and inflamed, and the symptoms have persisted for 2-3 days. I've been using cortisone cream, which provides temporary relief. I am no longer taking amoxicillin, but I took one tablet of fluconazole today. Do I still have a yeast infection, and what can I do to alleviate the symptoms?

I had unprotected sex and took Plan B 6 hours later. What are the chances of becoming pregnant, given that I was in my fertile window the day before? Also, what are the options for emergency contraception and birth control, and what are the side effects and effectiveness of these methods?
