I have open sores on my vagina and a lump inside that wasn't there yesterday. The lump seems to be a reaction from using Monistat. The lump has been getting worse and it hurts. The soreness is not itchy and is the same color as the rest of my skin. I have been using Monistat for a short time and I am 18 years old. Is there anything else in my medical history the Doctor should know?

I am experiencing spotting, negative pregnancy test results, and cramps. The spotting is light pink when I wipe. My last menstrual period was from June 27th to August 8th, and I am unsure about when my cycle would come. I also have slight abdominal cramps and spotting, but not enough to fill a liner. I feel nauseous on and off, got dizzy a few days ago, and have a low mood. My period is not 100% regular and shifts at times. My last sexual contact was on the 24th and 26th of August. What could be the cause of these symptoms?

I'm 13 weeks and 3 days pregnant (due date 04/09), but today I had a brief sonogram and was measuring 13 weeks and 2 days. The doctor said the baby was moving a lot, but with my previous miscarriage, I was measuring 5 days behind. This was my 5th or 6th ultrasound, and for the most part, the baby has always measured the same. Did my baby stop growing?
