I've got a bit of a concern about my period and Plan B. I had my period mid-July, from the 14th to the 18th, and then I had unprotected sex on the 19th. I took the emergency contraception pill on the 22nd. But then, oddly, I got my period again on the 28th, and it only lasted about 4 days. Is this normal? Could this be a side effect of taking Plan B?

-Yes, the bleeding you experienced on July 28 could be a side effect of the Plan B pill. Its common for emergency contraception to cause irregular bleeding or spotting, even if your period comes around the usual time.

Hey, I'm thinking about using a period delay pill and I'm not sure which one I should go for or what the right dosage is. Also, how far in advance should I start taking it? I'm also a bit worried about how this might affect my next period cycle. Would love any advice you could give me.

I'm 22 and still a virgin. I've tried to have sexual intercourse with my partner 34 times, but it just doesn't work. I don't know what's causing it it's like I'm too tight and the pain is unbearable. Could this be some kind of medical condition? Any advice would be really helpful.

It sounds like you might be experiencing discomfort due to tightness or muscle tension, which is common, especially for those who are new to sexual activity. It could also be related to conditions like vaginismus, where involuntary muscle spasms make penetration difficult and painful. I recommend consulting a healthcare provider to explore any underlying causes and receive guidance on relaxation techniques or treatments that can help.
