I’ve noticed for the past 2 weeks that my discharge has had a pinkish tint and occasionally some tiny spots of blood. I’m concerned because today I’ve had some minor cramping, but it’s not from my period since I use birth control to skip it. The discharge started about a week and a half ago and is off and on. It has a little bit of odor and a normal, thin, and watery texture. I’ve been on Microgestin FE 1/20 for almost 4 years and skip my placebo week to avoid periods. I also used boric acid suppositories recently, which is unusual for me. Should I be concerned about this bleeding?

I'm experiencing a lot of itchiness in the vulva area that comes and goes throughout the day, along with a yellowish-greenish discharge. I recently bought a new Peloton bike, and the itching started around the same time. I don't have any known allergies and have had a similar issue treated as contact dermatitis before. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I have been on birth control for a couple of months and have been taking my pills perfectly. I had unprotected sex today, and although he pulled out, I'm worried it might not have been in time. Additionally, I experienced brown discharge with slight cramping and lower back pain, which felt like the onset of my period, but I don't take the sugar pills until a few days. I also started spotting red blood with cramps. Should I take Plan B, and what do these symptoms mean regarding pregnancy?

I have not gotten my period for months while on birth control (Drospirenone and Ethinyl Estradiol Tablets, 3mg/0.02mg) and have taken over six negative pregnancy tests. I am concerned about this and want to get my period back on track. Are there any recommendations or changes in my birth control that could help?

I'm experiencing morning anxiety for the past two days due to a potential HIV exposure. I'm not showing any other symptoms besides anxiety and occasional vomiting from it. Should I get tested, and is PEP effective?
