I am taking Loestrin24Fe for the first time and today is my 14th day of taking it. My boyfriend ejaculated inside me during intercourse. Should I continue taking my birth control pill without taking Plan B, or should I take Plan B and continue with my birth control daily?

I cannot have a period. Hormone tests came back fine. I do not want to be on the pill. I am a marathon runner, eat a very healthy diet (no red meat), and am on calcium and iron supplements. How can I start my period? Is this bad for the future, or when I gain weight and try to have a baby, will it work out?

I had a miscarriage last September 9 and went to a doctor who found remains and recommended a procedure. It's been over a month, and I'm experiencing cramps, swelling, and pain. Should I go to the hospital, or should I wait for an appointment with my gynecologist?

I am 54 years old and believe I am going through menopause. I didn't have a period for 7 months and then started spotting, which has continued for about 5 weeks and is very dark. Is this normal?

Could my lower left pain be an ovary (cyst?) or hormone imbalance issue? The pain is triggered when I eat something that doesn't agree with me and is located in my lower left quadrant, possibly closer to my pelvic area. I am 32 years old, vegan, and have had severe lower abdominal pain for the past 8 years, with recent stomach pain, discomfort, and severe gas. I have had several tests in the past that turned out normal, and I am loosely following a low FODMAP diet. I also experience occasional constipation.

I have been on the birth control pill Loestrin 24 fe for 6 months. I take the pill every day and have never missed a pill. During the first and second weeks of active pills, I had sex and noticed some bleeding. I usually get my period today and tomorrow, and it came today like normal. My concern is pregnancy since I had bleeding during the active pills. What do you think is wrong?

My girlfriend and I were having sex about 2 nights ago and after fingering her, she had a swollen labia. She was in pretty bad pain the night of and it has decreased from a 9 to a 5 over the past few days. There has been white stuff coming out of her vagina and she has been taking sitz baths. What should I do?

I have had two surgeries for total pelvic reconstruction, including rectaseal, endoseal, cystoselal, bladder, and ureatha. The second surgery involved changing the angle of the bladder and adjusting the ureatha. Despite these surgeries, I still have limited voiding and have been using a catheter since July 24th. I have the urge to void but no results. Is there a third option to resolve this issue?

I had an abnormal Pap smear result with ASCUS/HPV and was diagnosed with type A HPV. I'm concerned about the potential for cancer and what I can do to manage my condition. What should I do, and is there anything I can do to help my body fight the virus, such as diet or exercise?
