I'm really concerned because my girlfriend is a virgin, and when we tried to have sex yesterday, I could only insert about 14 centimeters before something seemed to be blocking it. Gently moving further was painful for her, and it felt like something was obstructing. What could this be? Can you help us understand what's going on and what we should do?

So, I've been having these cramps in my lower abdomen for the past three days, and they feel different than my usual period cramps. My period is late by about five days now, and I took a home pregnancy test two days ago, but it came back negative. Plus, there's this stretchy white discharge going on. My periods usually run on a 30 to 36-day cycle. Should I see a doctor about this?

I took an ipill on the 20th after having unprotected sex on the 19th and 20th. Now on the 27th, I'm experiencing vaginal bleeding. Is this normal?

Its common to experience vaginal bleeding after taking the i-pill, as it can affect your hormonal balance. This bleeding is usually a side effect and should stop within a few days. However, if it persists or you have concerns, its best to consult your doctor for further guidance.
