I have been feeling a sharp pain in my lower right abdomen for about a week. I'm worried about what it might be—whether a hernia or ovarian issue. I'm not sure where to go to get it looked at. I made an appointment at a clinic but the first available appointment was 2 weeks away. Is the pain constant or does it come and go? Are you managing the pain with any medications? Anything else in your medical history you think the Doctor should know?

I've been taking the progestin-only birth control pill for about 2 months. I had my period from May 20th to 23rd, which was normal. Now, on day 15 of my cycle, I'm spotting light pink. I missed some pill days and took two the next day. Could this be implantation bleeding or ovulation bleeding? What should I do about the faint pelvic pain and vaginal odor? When can I take a pregnancy test?

I have a blister on the outside of my vaginal canal. I noticed it forming yesterday and it has grown bigger and turned white-ish this morning. I am 21 years old, not using any medications, and recently had sexual activity with a new partner. I also noticed irritation after using tampons during my recent period. What could be causing this blister, and what should I do about it?

If I take my birth control all the way through and don’t have periods, but just missed two pills to have a period, can I get pregnant if I had sex a week ago?

My period is 59 days late, pregnancy tests have been negative. I’m waking up with cramps that last for an hour and then dissipate. I’m turning 40 next month and have had no other menopause symptoms. I’m experiencing discharge similar to ovulation, which has been happening for weeks. I recently left a stressful job and filed a harassment claim. What could be causing this delay and what should I do next?
