I had sex 3 weeks ago using a condom both times. My period is 8 days late, but I have had irregular periods my whole life. I started birth control 4 or 5 years ago and decided to get off of it 2 months ago. I am mostly worried about pregnancy, but also wondering why my period is not starting if I am not pregnant. My family has a history of thyroid problems, could this be a sign that my thyroid is messing up?

Is it normal to have a lighter menstrual period, with the heaviest flow on the first two days and then gradually getting lighter from the third day? I've had this pattern for about a decade, and it hasn't changed. Should I be concerned about this, or is it typical for the average female period?

I have had green and yellowish discharge for on and off 2 years. It gets worse if I drink a lot of pop, and I also sweat a lot down there. I wash a lot down there. I haven’t been sexually active in 4 years. Why is this?

I had unprotected sex on July 8, took Plan B on July 9, and experienced light spotting 10 days later. Six weeks after the unprotected sex, I had severe abdominal cramping, nausea, heavy bleeding with large clots, and other unusual symptoms. The next month, I skipped my period completely. Could these symptoms be related to Plan B or could it have been a miscarriage?

I recently noticed a small lump on my labia that hasn’t caused any discomfort since I realized it 3 days ago. The lump has slightly improved but is still present. It’s not itchy and is a fleshy blush color, similar to the rest of my skin. I am 27 years old, take Tylenol and vitamins, and had genital herpes and HPV in 2015, which cleared on their own. I also have some vaginal dryness. What could be the cause of the lump, and when should I be concerned?
