I recently changed my contraceptive pill due to severe headaches and started bleeding every other week for 5 to 7 days after a week of starting the new pills. I have been told this is normal during the first 3 months, but I'm still worried. What should I do?

I got an IUD almost a month ago and am experiencing extreme surges of sharp pain on my right side. Should I get it checked or is it normal?

I am not sure if I am pregnant. I was on the Depo-Provera shot for 3 months, then stopped for 3 months, and had unprotected sex during ovulation. I took Plan B on January 1st, but it has been over 2 weeks and I still haven't gotten my period. When should I be concerned about pregnancy, and should I take a pregnancy test or a blood test?

I currently have an inflamed cyst on the outside of my vagina. It's getting worse and larger, very painful. I've been soaking in baths and taking over-the-counter meds like Advil, but they aren't helping. The affected area is very painful and tender, essentially covering one of the entire lips. What can I do until I can see my doctor on Monday?

I had my period from April 27th to May 2nd, and I took Plan B on May 2nd or 3rd. This Friday, I started bleeding heavily with period-like symptoms. Is this my May period or something different?
