I've been on the everyday birth control pills, but now my period is 9 days late. I took two pregnancy tests over the last week, and they both came back negative. I'm worried and wondering what could be causing this delay. Any insights?

Consider the following potential causes:
- Hormonal imbalance
- Stress
- Medication side effects
- Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
- Thyroid issues
Next steps:
- Wait a few more days and take another pregnancy test.
- Consult your healthcare provider to discuss symptoms and medical history.
- Get a blood test to check hormone levels and rule out underlying conditions.

I'm feeling pretty worried because last night, my husband was a bit too rough while sucking my nipples. He bit and squeezed them hard, and now I'm dealing with some serious pain and slight bleeding. It's hurting a lot. What should I do about it?
It sounds like your nipples were injured from the intense pressure and biting. It's important to give them time to heal, and you may want to avoid further stimulation to the area for a few days. If the pain and bleeding persist or worsen, I recommend seeing a doctor for an evaluation.
