My period is very late. I took pregnancy tests at 10 days, 16 days, and 25 days late, all of which were negative. What could be causing my late period, and what steps should I take to understand and potentially resolve the issue?

I picked up my NuvaRing prescription from CVS on October 30th and left it at room temperature until October 11th when I inserted it. I didn't store it in the fridge and am concerned about its effectiveness. Should I assume that CVS keeps it refrigerated before I pick it up, and could the effectiveness be impacted?

I have PCOS and had VSG surgery recently. I used a copper IUD and a condom during intercourse a week before the surgery. Now, I'm experiencing brown spotting and tender breasts, and I'm concerned about the possibility of pregnancy. Is there a chance of pregnancy, or is this just hormonal changes?

I’m 8 weeks pregnant and just found out, but I’ve been drinking and vaping before I found out. Is the baby going to have issues because of it? Additionally, I’ve been using the hot tub probably multiple times a week before I found out as well. Is hot tubbing bad while pregnant?

Trying to determine if I am experiencing decidual bleeding or my regular period. I had a sexual encounter on October 2nd where semen got near the vaginal opening. On October 6th, I had some spotting, and on the 7th, the bleeding picked up and has been filling up tampons since then. I am 19 years old, not using contraceptives, and have no other medical history to note. My last period started on September 3rd, and I was due to start my next one on October 7th. I have had mild cramps and normal flow, but with some larger clots. What could this be?
