I am just over 4 weeks pregnant and had a hot bath last night. It did not feel too hot while I was in there (for about 20 mins) but once I got out I realised I was bright red and sweating. I am now really worried this may have harmed the baby. Do you know what the chances of this are? Also, how can I find out? I feel dreadfully worried.

My period is late, but my pregnancy test is negative. I am not using contraceptives, my last period began on December 16, I do not use medications, and I am 31 years old. How often do you get your periods, is this the first time you missed a period, are you trying to conceive, and when was the last pregnancy test?

I forgot to take my birth control pills on the first Saturday of the first week and the first Sunday of the second week. On Monday of the 2nd week, I took the Monday’s pill only. I have been bleeding since then for 2 weeks. I started a new pack two days ago and skipped the last week of my old pack. What should I do? Should I continue taking the pills from the new pack or stop?

I had a mammogram about a month ago. I still have pain from the compression needed to get a good view of my breast. I have never experienced this problem before. Is this a rare but normal side effect of the mammogram?

I've had 2 breast ultrasounds and have a mass that went from .5 x .3 x .6 to .3 x .6 x .5. I am 25 years old and have been concerned about this for over a year. I am using 150mg of Effexor, 40mg of Verapamil twice a day, and an Albuterol inhaler. I have a history of asthma, SVT, and anxiety. I have a family history of breast cancer, started my periods at age 13, am married but have no children, and do not smoke. The mass is causing some swelling and pain, but there is no skin change, rash, nipple retraction, or swelling in the armpit. What could this mass be, and what should I do next?
