Although there is not much scientific proof, it is said that hormonal surge from arousal may have effect of periods.

  1. Hormonal Fluctuations: Sexual activity might slightly influence hormone levels, but it's unlikely to cause a significant change in menstrual timing.

  2. Stress and Lifestyle Changes: Changes in stress or lifestyle associated with sexual activity can affect period timing.

  3. Infections or Irritation: Sexual activity can lead to vaginal infections or irritation, causing spotting mistaken for an early period.

  4. Pregnancy-Related Bleeding: Without contraception, early bleeding might be implantation bleeding, not a period.

If early periods persist, consult a healthcare provider to rule out underlying issues.

I've got these blisters on one of the lips of my vagina, and it's super painful. I've been experiencing some burning and itchiness too. I always have protected sex, but about a few weeks ago, I did receive oral sex. Should I be worried about this? What could it be?

Blisters on one lip of your vagina along with pain and itching could be indicative of genital herpes. Since you mentioned receiving oral sex a few weeks ago, it is possible that you have contracted herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) genitally. I recommend taking antiviral medication such as Acyclovir (400mg three times a day) or Valacyclovir (1 gram twice a day) to help manage the symptoms and reduce the duration of the outbreak. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry, wearing loose cotton underwear, and avoiding sexual contact until the blisters have healed can help in the healing process.

I took the first Mifepristone tablet from a Mefigest kit but ended up vomiting about 3 to 3.15 hours later. Do I need to take another dose of Mifepristone, or should I purchase a new Mefigest kit?

I'm feeling a bit anxious about my hCG level, which is at 2713.18. Could you let me know what this means in terms of how far along I might be and if it's safe? I took a card test and it showed positive, but I'm waiting for more answers because the scan is still in progress. Can you help clarify this for me?
