I started lightly spotting yesterday morning. I am currently on Ortho-Tri-Cyclen and have been for about 6 months. We had sex last Monday and I missed my Tuesday pill. I totally missed it and didn't take another pill until Wednesday night. This morning I woke up and it is dark red blood. Not like a regular period but enough to freak me out. Today I am still 16 days from my next period pill. Couldn't I have ovulated and gotten pregnant last Monday? I missed pill number 10.

Missing one pill is unlikely to cause you to get pregnant, and you would not have symptoms just yet ...

My Pap smear results indicate EPITHELIAL CELL ABNORMALITY with LOW GRADE SQUAMOUS INTRAEPITHELIAL LESION (LSIL). The HPV DNA reflex criteria were not met, so no HPV testing was performed. How long have you dealt with this abnormality? Is it stable or getting worse? Are you using any medications, and how old are you? Is there anything else in your medical history that the doctor should know?

I am 6 weeks pregnant and have been experiencing sharp, constant pain to the touch on my stomach for a couple of days. I tested positive for COVID-19 last week, but the pain started before that. This is my third pregnancy, and I have no other symptoms or health problems. What could be causing this pain, and what should I do?

I’m 19 weeks pregnant and my pH balance is off. Can I use VH essentials vaginal odor treatment, and are there any other remedies or supplements I can use to help with this issue, including for BV?

I am 55 years old, in full menopause, and have a complex cyst on my right ovary that is less than 4cm. My CA-125 level is 100, and I have two fibroids, a simple cyst on the left, and a history of endometriosis. I went to my gynecologist due to post-menopausal bleeding, but I have had no other symptoms. My gynecologist believes it could be an endometrioma. I am scheduled to see a gynecologic oncologist today and am worried about the potential implications.

I woke up with an odd smell in my left armpit, very sore lymph nodes under the same pit, and a sore left arm that has been bothering me for several weeks. Breathing deeply hurts under my arm and toward my chest, and I've experienced lightheadedness when walking in the last few days. I also have low blood pressure and carry salt, which helps.
