I have been experiencing cramping and light bleeding since last night, along with some blood clots. Should I go to the ER? I am only 6 weeks pregnant. I have had some cramping before during this pregnancy, but this cramping is different—it's like intense period cramps and has been constant since last night. I have not taken any medications and do not have a history of prior miscarriage.

I had the Kyleena IUD put in September 2019. After initial bleeding for 2-3 days, I had no bleeding until today. Is it normal for a period to come back like this or is it a sign the IUD has moved? I also have period-like cramps. Should I go to a doctor due to COVID-19 concerns, or can I wait to see if the bleeding stops after a few days?

I have a small white blister inside my vagina that hurts a little. I think it came from using a rose vibrator too hard. I tested negative for the herpes II virus, but it's been hurting for about a week. I noticed a small white oval blister inside. There's no pain other than that small spot, and no weird discharge. Is it possible to get a blister from a vibrator?

I slept with two men one month apart, and I'm unsure who the father of my baby is. My cycle started on November 6, and I slept with the first man on November 18 and the second man on November 25. My due date was August 2, and the baby was born on July 18. Could I have been pregnant without knowing it, and how can I determine the father?

I thought my period started with light spotting and got negative pregnancy tests. After drinking a bottle of wine and 4 shots, I took another test and it was positive. I am worried that I may have damaged the baby. What are the potential risks and what should I do next?
