I noticed a swollen area on the outside of one of my nipples today. It doesn't hurt, and I am 35, healthy, and have never been pregnant.

I have missed my period for about three months now, from April to now. I stopped taking birth control because I was feeling nauseous for about two weeks, and then I took it for about a week before stopping again. Now, I haven't had my period for three months, and I can feel a slight bump where my uterus is. I have no clue if I'm pregnant or not because I haven't taken a pregnancy test yet. What do you think?

I have white patches in my vagina that appeared two days ago and are getting better. I am currently using cortizone cream and had a yeast infection recently. There is no itching, discharge, or urinary burning, and the patches are flat and do not peel or come off. Could these patches be related to a residual yeast infection or something else?
