I'm noticing a strange odor from my vagina and I'm not sure what it might be. My partner has herpes, but we're always really careful and take a lot of precautions. I've been feeling fine otherwise, but this smell is making me nervous. Could something serious be going on?

The bad odor from your vagina could be caused by various factors such as bacterial vaginosis (BV), yeast infections, trichomoniasis, or poor hygiene, and while herpes isn't typically associated with vaginal odor, it's essential to consult a gynecologist for a proper evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment to rule out any underlying infections or conditions.

I'm a bit worried and need some advice. I got my period on April 12th and ended up having unprotected sex on the 5th day, which was April 16th. Just to be cautious, I took a pill on April 18th, within the 72-hour window. Then on May 3rd, I started bleeding again, but it wasn't as heavy as my normal period and went on for 45 days. I had all the usual period symptoms like cramps and back pain. Now I'm not sure if that was withdrawal bleeding or if my period just came early. Todays the 20th and I still havent got my period, assuming that previous bleeding was withdrawal. Is there a chance I might be pregnant?
