My girlfriend takes Alysena 28 every day at 9 am. Two days ago, she took her pill at 9 pm. Is she still safe from pregnancy? She only uses Alysena 28 as a birth control pill and the only contraceptive. Her last period was last week. She has been using birth control pills since last year and it works. She experiences minor headaches and moody emotions, which she thinks are side effects.

I recently had a Brazilian wax and noticed a wound on the inner lip of my vagina, which is causing itching and increased watery discharge (no odor). I also shave with a shaving stick and am concerned about potential cuts. What should I do?

I’m in the 4th week after a surgical abortion at 15 weeks gestation. I’m experiencing random heavy flows of blood that soak a pad within a few minutes. Is this normal? Additionally, I’m on the pill, and my first sugar pill is tomorrow. Should I take it and 'start' my period, or can I skip it and continue taking the daily pills since I’m still bleeding from the surgery?

I have irregular periods and have not gotten my period this month, despite expecting it. I have symptoms such as lower back pain, fatigue, and occasional sickness. Could I be pregnant, and if not, what could be causing these symptoms?

I've been heavily bleeding with large clots for 4 days, changing pads every 45 minutes to an hour. I'm using overnight pads. I experienced heavy bleeding in March from IUD removal, but it wasn't clotting and never this heavy. My last pap test or pelvic exam was approximately 3 years ago. I had a C-section in 2013 and an appendectomy in 2014. What could be causing this and what should I do?
