During my 3rd pregnancy, I'm experiencing pulling/tingling pains and mild cramps at 9-10 weeks. The pain is on the right side of my pelvic bone and feels like a bad bruise or pulled muscle. Could this be round ligament pain, and is it possible to have pulled or torn the ligament?

I just got my menstrual cycle the second time in two weeks. I'm extremely fatigued, soaked through both pads and tampons together, have a headache, and cramps. This is the first time this has happened, and the cramps have been going on for a few days now. I had a pap test last year with no irregular results, and my medical history includes ovarian cysts, removed Fallopian tubes, and a c-section. Should I be worried?

I have a lesion just outside my vagina that appeared 2 days ago, which is an ulcer. I am 37 years old and it burns when urine hits it. I have a history of vulvodynia and had a yeast infection treated with Diflucan about a week and a half ago. The lesion appeared less than 24 hours after sexual intercourse in a monogamous relationship. What could this be and how should I manage it?

I have been using birth control pills, but I missed quite a few, and recently used the vaginal ring for 3 days before losing it during sex. I had unprotected sex and now I'm experiencing a light, unusual period. Could I be pregnant, and should I take a pregnancy test?

I recently had a possible exposure to HIV at a barber shop where I might have been cut by an unclean blade. I have a 5-year-old sister who drank from my cup after the exposure and has been experiencing a severe cough, fever, and fatigue for two weeks. I have symptoms like a mild fever, sore throat, and a rash on my knees that might be eczema. Could these symptoms be related to HIV, and should I be concerned for my sister's health?
