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.

I'm a bit worried because my wife's pregnancy test came back positive, but we weren't planning on having another baby right now since our little one is just two years old. Her period was supposed to start on the 23rd of this month. Could you give us some advice on what we should do next? We're really looking for a solution.

While the risk is extremely low, it's not impossible. Precum can contain sperm, and if it comes into contact with the vagina, pregnancy can theoretically occur. However, the chances are very slim, especially without ejaculation or penetration. According to the American Pregnancy Association, the risk of pregnancy from precum is estimated to be around 1-4%.

I'm having this ongoing pain around my breast and underarm, mostly on the right side, and it's been happening for about 4 months now. It initially started with pain on the right side of my chest, and sometimes I even get nipple pain. There aren't any lumps or swelling, no redness, fever, or changes in shape. I had an X-ray and that came back normal. I also have sinus problems and my Vitamin D3 level is at 21. I'm not experiencing any breathing issues. Could you please help me figure out what's going on?
