I missed one birth control pill and had unprotected sex. I've been using birth control pills for the past 8 months, and my last period began on June 3rd, 2020. I haven't had a Pap test yet but have polycystic ovaries. Is it still safe if I had unprotected sex, and does my polycystic ovaries increase or decrease the chance of getting pregnant?

I have been dealing with a persistent yeast infection for a few months now, despite being prescribed fluconazole since January. The infection is stable but recurring, especially after intimate relations with my boyfriend. I am 24 years old and use a gentle hypoallergenic cleanser by Dove. What additional steps can I take to address this issue, and can I safely use Monistat vaginal cream along with the ongoing fluconazole treatment?

I recently lost my virginity and bled during both encounters. The second time, I immediately got a fever. Is this normal, and what could it mean? I also experienced some soreness in the vaginal area, but no other symptoms like cough, nasal congestion, or sore throat.
