I'm not expecting my period for a few weeks, but as of yesterday, I started bleeding a lot (I don't know the exact amount, but roughly the blood loss that I experience on the second day of my period). I still am. It's bright red and quite thin, unlike normal menstrual blood. I experienced some cramping last night.

I had very rigorous sexual intercourse on the 6th and then the next day, I noticed that my vaginal discharge was a bit...clumpy and I was experiencing a little itching, indicating that my vaginal PH balance had been slightly thrown off.

Any idea what's going on with my body?

I used to have a very regular cycle. I would get my PMS symptoms about a week before my period was due; basically just sore breasts and moodiness with some moderate cramping the day before and the day of my period. My period always lasts about four days and is pretty much always the same in flow.
Two months ago, my symptoms changed a bit. My breasts suddenly got sore the day after I ovulated and caused me a lot of grief, since I'd learned that sore breasts are one of the first signs of pregnancy. In my next cycle, I had absolutely no symptoms whatsoever until the day my period arrived, three days late, with some light cramping. In my current cycle, my breasts started to get sore the day after ovulation AND I'm noticing some very light cramping. I'm a little bit emotional as well.
I really don't know why this is happening. Everything has always been like clockwork and now it's suddenly not. Have your PMS symptoms always been the same, or did they ever flip out and change on you like mine are? Is this normal?

* When I say "ovulate," I mean "the day I notice an excess of cervical mucus when I got to the bathroom." It's always around the same time every month. I didn't notice any this month but the symptoms I'm concerned about showed up right after I would have "ovulated."
* There is a very, very low chance of pregnancy. The sex in question was two weeks and a few days ago, very shortly after my last period ended. We used a condom. Earlier that day during a quickie, we'd used the pull-out method but knowing how I get concerned about pregnancy, my boyfriend makes sure there is never any sperm in his precum.

Hi everyone!

So I have a bit of a complicated issue with a missed pill.
Last month (I believe it was March 13th), I lost the very last pill of my pill pack. The day after my missed pill, I went and got a new package of birth control and took two pills that day (one to replace the missed pill and one for that day). I continued taking the pill as normal until the end of the pack, into the placebo pills. My period was extremely light, but since I just switched to Yasmin from Yaz, I understand this is a possible BC side effect.

I am confused if I am still protected through the placebo week and into my new pill pack, which I started two days early. I know that the rule is 21/7, and essentially, I guess this means I still completely skipped a pill, by taking a pill to replace the missed on from a full pack? I have had unprotected sex with my boyfriend since coming onto the placebo pills (the 2nd day into placebos and the 2nd day into my new pack), but we used the withdrawal method flawlessly (I know there are still obviously risks). Should I get plan B? Or should I, in the future, just use additional protection like a condom until I have been on my new pack for 7 days?

Thanks!
