I've been experiencing breakthrough bleeding for 4 to 5 days after starting a new birth control (Sprintec) after being off it for a few months. I started the pill on the day I was supposed to start my period, but it didn't come. I've been on the pill for 10 days now, and the bleeding has been heavy at times. What could be causing this and how long should I expect it to continue?

I am on Junel 1/20 birth control pills and have been for two years. I take it every day around the same time, but recently took it late one night. This caused me to start my period a few days later. My period didn't start during my placebo week, even though I had a period just two and a half weeks ago. I haven't been sexually active since before my last period. Could I be pregnant, and is it normal for my period to be irregular? Additionally, can this pill cause minor cramps between periods?

I have been experiencing vaginal spotting and a weird sensation in my vagina after peeing for a few days. The sensation is stable and I am not using any medications. I am 20 years old and recently took a contraceptive pill before my period. What could be causing this and what can I do about the sensation?

When I touch my left breast, I can feel a lumpy area inside that is painful. The pain started suddenly yesterday and is similar to touching a bruise. I am 27 years old, not on any medications, and have no significant medical history. There is also a small boil next to the lumpy area that I've had for a few months without pain. Could this be related, and should I be concerned about breast cancer?
