I'm a 21-year-old female and had both unprotected and protected sex with my boyfriend on the last day of my ovulation window. I took an emergency contraceptive pill the next morning. It's been two weeks now and I haven't experienced any withdrawal bleeding, plus I've missed my period. There was no semen contact. Is there still a possibility of being pregnant, or could it just be that the pill is delaying my period?

It is possible that the delay in your period is due to the emergency contraceptive pill you took. However, to rule out pregnancy, you can take a pregnancy test. If you are concerned about a possible pregnancy, you can consider taking a pregnancy test for confirmation.

I've been dealing with a bartholin cyst that's gotten way bigger in the last 3 days and it's making sitting and moving really uncomfortable. This is the third time in 2 years but it usually goes away on its own this time it's much worse. I read about surgical draining but want to avoid that if possible. What can I do to ease this and why do these keep happening?

surgery opinion is advised to the patient.

So I've got a bit of a sensitive question. My friend just got married and she's kinda embarrassed but having some trouble staying wet during intercourse. She starts out fine for the first 10 minutes or so, but then it just seems to stop. Is this a cause for concern or is there something she can do to help with it?
