I'm a bit worried because I had unprotected sex for the first time on Thursday, May 18th, and it was pretty deep. I think my period started the next day or maybe Saturday, and it stopped by Wednesday. It was really heavy for a couple of days and then kind of light. Is there a chance I could be pregnant?

Based on the information you provided, it is possible that you could be pregnant since unprotected sex occurred during your fertile window. To confirm pregnancy, you can take a pregnancy test. If you are concerned about potential pregnancy, you can consider taking an emergency contraceptive pill like Plan B One-Step within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse to reduce the risk of pregnancy.

I was recently diagnosed with acne vulgaris and my doctor prescribed Doxycycline lactic acid bacillus 100 mg for two months. I'm concerned about whether it's safe to take this medication for that long. Is there anything I should watch out for or be aware of while taking it?

Doxycycline (100 mg) for 2 months is a standard treatment for acne vulgaris, and when combined with Lactic Acid Bacillus, it is generally considered safe, but monitor for potential side effects like gastrointestinal upset, photosensitivity, and antibiotic resistance.
