My period is 5 days late, and it had been inconsistent for a while. I stopped taking a certain medicine, and it was back on track for two months. This month, I was scheduled to start my period on the 2nd but still haven’t had it. I’ve taken tests before and it was never a pregnancy, so I didn’t want to go buy a test yet. When should I take a pregnancy test, and what other tests should I consider?

I think I may have a peptic ulcer. I have bad pain in my lower back and top of my abdomen, which tends to go away when I eat. I'm 23 years old and have tried ibuprofen for the pain, but no other medications. Should I go to a health clinic or the emergency room?

I have had my period since the end of February and it has not stopped. The longest I went without using tampons or pads was about 8 days. I am not using any contraceptives or medications, and I am 31 years old. My last gynecological exam was about 2 months ago, and the results were fine. However, I am still bleeding heavily and have occasional lower stomach pain. I am scared that this continuous bleeding could be life-threatening or affect my ability to have children. What should I do?

My girlfriend and I recently had sex. I used a condom but it broke. Soon after it broke, I replaced it. I hadn't cum yet. The next evening we bought the Plan B pill. Is there any chance that she is pregnant?

If you go to an OBGYN and the wet mount comes back negative for yeast, can you still have a yeast infection? How long does it take for the swab culture result to come back for a yeast infection? Could antibiotics like Ceftriaxone and Doxycycline cause a yeast infection in a few days, even after a negative wet mount result?
