I take Levlen ED as my birth control pill. I missed one active tablet 15 days ago and took it the next day, followed by starting a new packet of active pills by skipping the sugar pills. I am currently experiencing breakthrough bleeding and spotting. What could cause this, and should I be concerned about my birth control pill failing?

I had a natural miscarriage at 8 weeks. I passed everything after 3 days, and the bleeding slowed down to light brown staining. When I try to clean myself thoroughly, I start staining dark red blood. Is this still uterine blood, or am I making myself bleed? Additionally, what are my chances of having another miscarriage if I get pregnant again right away, and can I have a period without ovulating after a miscarriage?

After having a new partner that I kissed deeply, a few weeks after our first kiss, I developed 2-3 sores in the top back of my mouth that I noticed. We also had oral sex but with a condom. The sores popped and were sore for several days after and then completely disappeared/healed. Could this be herpes? If not, what else could this be/could be the cause? Also, are antiviral medications recommended in the case of what appears to be oral herpes, and are they available over the counter or is a doctor's prescription needed? Could the oral herpes infection be confirmed by a blood antibody test at my doctor's? Is it accurate?
