I'm feeling really concerned about something. I got an HSV IgG test result of 0.85 and I've been noticing some redness in the genital area, along with itching and these weird tingling pains in my thighs. Does this mean I have herpes or could it be something else? What's confusing me more is that when I did a test last month, it came back negative. Can you tell me if these results might be accurate and suggest any treatment options?

Question

I'm a bit concerned about some symptoms I'm experiencing. My partner and I had sex around my ovulation, specifically on day 14 of my cycle, and now just two days after, I'm noticing weakness, leg cramps, and feeling like I'm going to vomit, but without actually throwing up. Could these be early signs of pregnancy?

Question

So, I had a condom break on me and took a Plan B right after it happened. But I'm kinda worried because I took a laxative a couple of hours before, and I'm actually in my ovulating window. Should I be concerned about how effective the Plan B will be this time?
