Question

I had unprotected sex last night and now I'm noticing slight blood clots in my urine and mucus. My vagina didnt naturally lubricate, and that's never been an issue before. I haven't found any friction marks. I also took the morning-after pill and have been having this brownish discharge today. My period's supposed to start next week, but I know the emergency pill can mess with that. What's going on with the bleeding?

Question

I'm 9 weeks and 2 days into my pregnancy and just found out my baby's heart rate is 128. Is this something I should be worried about? I'm currently taking folic acid and progesterone.

Question

I've had this really painful pimple on my vaginal lip for about a week now, and it has pus. Any advice on what I should do?
