I am a current mother of 2, on birth control (the patch), but have not always followed directions precisely. I had unprotected sex during potentially ovulating periods and am experiencing symptoms like sore breasts, constipation, fluid retention, nipple changes, irritation, sweating, a weird taste in my mouth, gas, fatigue, poor concentration, and changes in discharge. My last period began on May 27, and I started birth control in March. I am 27 years old and use Adderall as needed. I took a pregnancy test which was negative, but I am still concerned about the possibility of pregnancy. What should I do?

I unfortunately caught COVID and began my period around the same time. My period usually lasts about 5 days. This cycle I am on day 5 and still bleeding a bit. Also experiencing mild cramping on and off. Can COVID mess with your period?

I’m on my third week of the Xulane birth control patch. If my boyfriend finishes inside me, can I still get pregnant?

My period is late by 40 days, and a pregnancy test taken on the 38th day after my last period was negative. I have a 30-day period cycle, and my partner uses condoms, but we had unprotected intercourse on my ovulation day. What could be the reason for my late period?
