I am pregnant and experiencing intermittent light cramping and spotting. My last period was on December 29, so I should be around 4-5 weeks pregnant. The cramping is not constant and lasts only a few seconds, feeling like period cramps. The spotting is very light, just pink, and occurs every few days. I am not using any medications and I am 21 years old. I had a miscarriage in 2018 and a termination in 2020. Is this cramping and spotting normal, and should I be concerned about a miscarriage?

I have a lump/boil on the lip of my vagina that causes pain at touch and discomfort. I just noticed it today and it hasn't changed since. The lump is a different color than my skin and I have a history of chlamydia. What do I do to treat it?

I'm on birth control pills and had liposuction and skin removal surgery yesterday. Today, I'm experiencing a period with clots/chunks of very dark blood, which is not due for another 2 weeks. Is this normal after surgery?

I'm 26 years old and have been trying to get pregnant without success. I had Nexplanon implanted, which expired five years ago, and I never had it removed due to losing my insurance. Could this be a factor? My periods have always been irregular, and my last pelvic exam was when I got the implant, with no irregular findings.

I started my placebo pills a few days early last month to avoid having a period during vacation. It worked, but I was due for my next period 10 days ago and it hasn't come. Instead, I lightly spotted during the expected period week. I am using birth control pills, but I didn't start a new pack after the spotting. I am 10 days late for my cycle, had unprotected sexual intercourse while using the withdrawal method and birth control, did not take Plan B, and tested negative on three pregnancy tests. What could be causing this and what should I do?
