I took Plan B about two weeks ago, and my period started, lasted for a while, and then stopped. Now, two weeks later, I'm on my period again and it's been going on for about 12 days. Is this normal?

Does an increase in discharge that looks like egg whites mean that you are having your LH surge or that an egg has been released? I experienced increased cervical mucus that looked like egg whites, bloating, abdominal pressure, and pain on one side on Tuesday 6/23, followed by less mucus and more pain on Wednesday. I had unprotected sex on Thursday 6/25. Could I be pregnant, especially since I am due for my period tomorrow but have no normal PMS symptoms and have had nausea, a headache, and more cervical mucus today?

I had sex yesterday evening at 11pm and the condom broke. My partner stopped right away and had not ejaculated inside of me. I ovulated on or around July 6th and my period is not irregular. My last period was from June 19th-24th, and my expected period is July 20th. My average cycle is 30 days, ranging between 27-34 days. I am 25 years old, 103 pounds, 5 foot 2, and not taking any hormone pills. Should I plan to take Plan B?

I’m traveling abroad and think I have a yeast infection. It started about a week ago with blister-like bumps and some itching. I’ve been using isoconazole nitrate (travogen) for 7 days, which has helped a bit but hasn’t completely resolved the issue. The infection started after being sexually active, and I’m concerned about the bumps and itching. What should I do to treat this and ensure it goes away?
