I had unprotected sex with an HSV2 positive partner 10 days ago. He did not disclose his status until after the encounter but assured me he rarely gets outbreaks and takes antivirals when he feels symptoms. I have not shown any symptoms except for a brief tingling sensation in my thighs that lasted only a few minutes. Is it less likely that I may have caught HSV2 based on his situation and my lack of symptoms so far? Additionally, I am experiencing an increase in white, odorless discharge, which I suspect might be related to the emergency morning-after pill I took two weeks ago. Could this discharge be due to the pill, and if I do not see any noticeable symptoms by the end of 14 days, should I consider myself in the clear?

I self-diagnosed a yeast infection on Sunday night and used Monistat 1. I experienced severe burning and itching for two days, and although the burning has stopped, I am still itching. I have had a yeast infection before but never treated it with over-the-counter medications. I started feeling irritated on Friday, began an antibiotic (Cipro) for a UTI on Saturday, and by Sunday night, the UTI seemed to be subsiding but I started having vaginal itching and white clumpy discharge. What should I do to alleviate the itching, and should I consider getting a prescription for Fluconazole since it has been several days and the itching persists?

I took a digital pregnancy test 2 days ago that showed a positive result, but today, after my period was due, another test showed a negative result. My last period was on October 7th, and I've been feeling bloated. I had my IUD removed at the end of August. Could stress have caused a false positive, and what should I do next?

I am 28 years old and have a copper IUD (Mirena) inserted since December 2018. My last period was from September 9-13, and I am currently 9 days late. I have taken two negative pregnancy tests and have had flu-like symptoms for the past 4 days. What could be causing my delayed period, and should I be concerned?

In early pregnancy, is it normal to have pain when trying to stand up, and what symptoms might indicate a need to go to the hospital instead of waiting for a regular doctor's appointment?

I have an implant (Jadelle) that is expiring tomorrow and needs to be removed and replaced. I am 42 years old and do not use any medications. I am located in Ottawa and need help finding an OB/GYN who can assist with this procedure.
