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?

I have noticed little bumps in my inner labia. I think it might be Vestibular Papillomatosis or HPV. The bumps are a little itchy, and my vaginal discharge has been brown and then white. I'm not currently sexually active and got vaccinated for HPV once. What could these bumps be, and what should I do?
