My period is late by a day. However, my last period was 2 weeks early, which came 4 days after I had protected sex. I’m 39. Could I be pregnant or possible perimenopause starting?

My 18-year-old daughter has had unusual periods in the last month. The first lasted five days, which is short for her, and the second started two weeks later and has been going on for two and a half weeks now. Both periods have been a lighter flow than normal, and the second has been a darker color than normal. She is not using contraceptives or medications, and there are no unusual medical history factors. The biggest recent change in her schedule is walking 20,000 steps a day as a freshman in college.

My clitoris is burning. When did the burning start? Is the burning constant or does it come and go? Is it worse at certain times of day? Do you have any known allergies? Anything else in your medical history you think the Doctor should know?

I had unprotected sex on the 7th day of my period (January 15th), took the morning-after pill within 2 hours, and experienced bleeding the next day and again on January 22nd. I am worried if I am pregnant. What are the chances of pregnancy and should I take a pregnancy test?

I have been experiencing pain during sex, specifically at the beginning, for about a month. The pain is inside my vagina and I'm not sure how to describe it. I haven't used any medications for the pain as it only occurs at the beginning of intercourse. I am 23 years old and have been on birth control since I was 16. I've never had this issue before and have been with the same partner for months with no issues until now. Sometimes, I have very light bleeding after sex and occasionally experience itching and discharge. What could be causing this pain and what can I do to alleviate it?
