I am 12 days late for my period, and a home pregnancy test taken 7 days after the expected date was negative. My last period began on January 27th, and I am not using any contraceptives or medications. I have experienced some stress and changes in my fitness routine. What could be causing the delay, and what steps should I take?

Almost every time I have sex with my partner, I develop a foul vaginal odor that doesn’t go away and I can smell it just sitting there. I’ve seen my OB for this and she doesn’t think it’s BV, I’ve been tested for STIs and all negative. I can do a dose of metrogel and it goes away. This usually happens around my period. I don’t know how to make it stop.

My girlfriend has been blood clotting for 9 hours during her period. She is 20 years old, on oral contraception, and was one day late to her period. Is this normal, and how can we make it better?

I haven't had my period since January 20th, 2023. I'm 18 years old, not using any contraceptives or medications, and have had a few instances of intercourse since my last period, but recent pregnancy tests were negative. My periods have been irregular, but I'm not overweight, do not suffer from severe anxiety or stress, and have not taken any emergency contraceptive pills. What could be causing this delay, and what should I do?

I had a c-section on February 28th and experienced a spinal fluid leak/spinal headache after receiving spinal tap anesthesia. Although the headaches have resolved with caffeine pills, Tylenol, and fluids, I am still dealing with symptoms such as hearing echoes, neck pain, lightheadedness, dizziness, and discomfort behind the eyes. Are these symptoms still related to the spinal fluid leak, or should I go back to the hospital?
