Could Delayed Periods After Emergency Contraception Signal Pregnancy?
It’s fine if your period is late after taking Plan B because it messes with your cycle. Some symptoms like spotting, feeling sick, or changes in the timing of your menstrual cycle are pretty normal too. Remember that stress may also cause a delay in your period so try not to worry too much about it. Everything should return to normal soon enough. If not though, then maybe think about getting a pregnancy test.

Why do I have bumps and cuts in pubic area?
You might have something called folliculitis, which is a pretty common condition. This is when the hair follicles get infected and it causes bumps with sometimes open cuts. Wearing tight clothes or shaving can both cause this by a rubbing or friction though. Treatment involves keeping the area clean, not wearing tight-fitting clothing and applying warm compresses. If these things don’t work then definitely see a dermatologist.

I have missed my periods but the test is negative?
It can be confusing to miss your periods when a pregnancy test shows negative, but there are some explanations. One possible cause is stress. Rapid weight changes could also lead to this. Hormonal problems or too much exercise may be behind it as well. In some cases, medicines might make you miss them too. Record what symptoms occur each time and see a gynecologist if they keep happening so that the cause can be determined.

Do I need more HIV tests post exposure?
The tests you took at 30 and 45 days are generally accurate, but for complete peace of mind, it's best to get tested again 3 months after being exposed. This is because it takes time for the immune system to make enough antibodies that can be detected by the test. In the meantime, if you start feeling unwell with symptoms such as fever, rash, sore throat or tiredness, please tell your doctor.

Why does my chest hurt when I move and breathe?
You may have costochondritis. This means the cartilage in your chest is inflamed. Symptoms include chest pain which gets worse with movement or deep breathing. It can be caused by heavy lifting, coughing a lot, or sleeping awkwardly. To ease the pain, rest, apply heat to the area, and take over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen. If the pain continues or becomes more severe, see a cardiologist for further assessment.

Why is my menstrual flow inconsistent?
It’s normal for your period to be a little different from week to week. If you had a lighter flow last time and now it’s heavier than usual, this is no big deal. The change can be caused by hormonal changes, stress, diet, or even just doing something different with your day. Make sure that you are taking care of yourself by eating right, staying active, and managing any anxiety or worry that comes along with it. If it keeps happening or you’re concerned, talk with your gynecologist so they can tell you everything’s fine.
