I was supposed to get my period 17 days ago (last period was September 30) and still have not gotten it. I am 18 years old, not on birth control or any contraceptives, not taking any medications, and sexually active. The last time my partner and I had sex was October 15, and we used protection as well as him pulling out. I've been feeling pressure in my lower abdomen and I don't know if that's related. What could it be?

Is there any good birth control method that does not cause weight gain, increase breast size, or cause breakouts, and what options are available for someone with a low pain tolerance, such as sedation during an IUD insertion?

My period cycle from February to March was 32 days, and from March to April was 40 days (only because I took two Plan Bs at the beginning of April). My question is, is my cycle length good enough to not get pregnant on my period?

My wife didn’t go on her period for 2 months and today she started seeing some blood. We tested for pregnancy and it was positive. She is not using any contraceptives, her last period was on 14 March, and her periods normally range between 25-29 days. She hasn’t had a pap test, and she suffers from heavy and irregular periods. We have been trying to conceive for 2 years without success. What should we do?

I am 9 weeks pregnant and experiencing persistent nausea and vomiting, unable to eat or drink for the last 12 hours. I have had a first-trimester ultrasound at 7 weeks and am taking Pepcid and anti-nausea candies. I also take prenatal vitamins nightly and do light exercise 3 days a week. What should I do?
