Is something wrong with me if my period is always late, even after moving to a new environment and changing my diet? I am a virgin, almost 19 years old, not on any medications, and have always had late periods, sometimes by a week or two. I experience mild lower abdominal pain during my periods, but no other significant medical history.

I'm 8 weeks pregnant and noticed some spotting yesterday. I've been having nightmares about miscarriage and noticed continued spotting this morning. It's my first pregnancy. My last period was May 8-14, and this is the first time I've experienced spotting. I've had a small amount of clear discharge throughout my pregnancy, but now it has pink strains of blood in it. I have no pain or dizziness. I am overweight, 5'9" and was 205lbs at the start of my pregnancy. I have my first ultrasound coming up this Thursday. What should I do?

My period is weeks late. I had pink/brownish discharge a few days ago and now I had bright red blood, but it was thinner consistency than my normal period. I’ve had pregnancy symptoms for over a week - nausea/strong sense of smell/increased hunger/high body temperature. Do you think I could still be pregnant or that I just started my period? I’ve never had symptoms like that during my periods before.

I had sex with a condom on, but the condom was removed after ejaculation. I took Plan B (levonorgestrel) within 8 hours. Since then, I've had lower abdominal cramps, fatigue, and now brown spotting 9 days after sex. I'm worried about pregnancy, especially since I don't know when I ovulated. Can these symptoms be pregnancy-related, or are they due to the Plan B pill? Should I be concerned about pregnancy despite taking Plan B?

I need a pap smear. I had one 5 years ago, and now I have a persistent odor when I pee. My doctor suggested I see a mental health doctor, but I believe I need a gynecological check-up. What should I do?
