I stopped my birth control mid-pack because my husband and I want to start trying for a family. I missed 4 pills and started taking them again per my OBGYN. Will this mess up my ovulation time? Or will it depend on if I get my period or have spotting when I finish my pills pack in 8 days?

I have redness and a bump on my vulva. Could this be herpes, or is it more likely due to shaving? I am a 23-year-old female with a single partner for the past 4 months. My partner claims to be clean, but I suffer from severe anxiety and am worried about a potential herpes infection.

I am a 44-year-old woman with regular periods until recently. I took the morning-after pill within 18 hours of unprotected sex and experienced cramping a week later, with no bleeding. I took a pregnancy test six days before my expected period, which was negative. What are these cramps, and could I be pregnant or experiencing an ectopic pregnancy?

My wife has PKD and recently she has been bleeding after sex. It's not all the time, just randomly and seems to happen after stressful events like traveling long distances. How can we determine the cause of this bleeding and is it related to her PKD?

I'm taking spironolactone 50mg and have taken two faint but positive pregnancy tests. I'm also experiencing unusual bleeding that doesn't seem like a period. I have PCOS and am taking both metformin and spironolactone. What could be causing these symptoms and how should I proceed?
