My period is late, but all pregnancy tests are negative. I last had my period on August 5th, and I am not using any contraceptives or medications. I am 27 years old, have regular periods, and am slightly stressed about work. My stomach also looks bloated. What could be causing my late period and what should I do?

I have had several yeast infections in the past year due to insufficient cleaning after sex. Recently, I noticed irritation and used a Monistat 1-day treatment, which usually works. However, I now have tingling pains, redness, and two small red bumps on my vaginal wall, causing discomfort. I just moved to a different state and my new insurance starts on September 6th. What could this be and what can I do to alleviate the discomfort until I can see a doctor?

I have been concerned about uterine fibroids for 2.5 years, experiencing symptoms such as pressure on the stomach, uncomfortable intercourse, and decreased libido. I am not using any medications and have no additional medical history to note. I want to know about treatments for uterine fibroids, foods to avoid, and if it is safe to take the COVID-19 vaccine while having uterine fibroids.

I am 12 weeks pregnant and experiencing period-like symptoms such as inner thigh pain, pressure in my vagina and butt, headaches, and insomnia, but no bleeding. The pain started yesterday and is throbbing in the vagina, feeling like my period is coming on, more so on the right side. I am currently taking Tylenol and progesterone 200 mg twice a day, but I stopped taking progesterone for two days due to the medicine melting in the sun. Should I be concerned?
