I have been trying to get pregnant and experienced symptoms suggesting pregnancy, but had a blood clot after unprotected sex. This has happened twice. I was wondering if both times were miscarriages or something else. My periods have been irregular since stopping birth control, and I had a negative pregnancy test recently. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned about the blood clots?

I just started my period today, but it’s very dark brown. My period isn’t supposed to come for another week or so, and it used to be very irregular. I’m not on any birth control, but I did take Plan B a week or so ago. There’s not a super strong odor, but it doesn’t smell like it normally does. Additionally, I’ve been getting nauseous occasionally, but not to the point of vomiting.

I started birth control this month and had sex for the first time two weeks later with a condom. The next day, I started lightly bleeding, which continued for a week and is now dark brown. I'm concerned about the bleeding and want to know what could be causing it and what I should do.

My vaginal area is swollen and sore for the past 3 days. I had rough/vigorous sex recently, and the swelling started immediately after. I have no vaginal itching, no burning sensation with urination, and a white discharge that is not like cottage cheese. I have no medications and am 17 years old. What could be the reason for the swelling, and what can I do to alleviate it?

I am having burning and discharge for the past 2 months (intermittently). The discharge started in the second week of May, went away, and came back over the past couple of weeks. It is green/yellow and sometimes bloody, with no noticeable odor but accompanied by burning. My last period started and ended normally, and my periods are pretty regular. I am 33 years old, have had no new sexual partners, and use Phexxi as birth control. I have an exam scheduled for 7/6 but am concerned since this is the second week this has been going on. Could this be an infection, and what should I do?

I experienced a sharp, painful popping sensation near my left ovary for about a minute or more. The pain only lasted for a minute and I am not managing it with any medications. I am 22 years old and take Sertraline for anxiety/depression and Propranolol for migraines. I have a family history of endometriosis and very bad menstrual cycles. Should I be worried?
