Hello lovelies!

So, yesterday I slipped and fell on my wire laundry hamper... and because I have the "BEST" of luck, I fell on one of the hard corners, which hit my vagina. There was a ton of pain at first, and then I noticed I was bleeding.

When I checked in a mirror, it seems like I scratched/ripped open a section of my skin inside the labia minora, but not inside the vaginal opening. It didn't bleed a lot yesterday, just some initial bleeding, and I was able to have a good time at the beach afterwards. Today I woke up, and noticed I was bleeding a little bit from the cut again.

What I'm wondering, VPers, is  this is somethign serious enough to go to the doctor or can I take care of this myself at home?

I tried using Google to get more information, but all posts about torn/ripped/scratched vaginas are sex related and that's not the case here.

Took pill on wrong day

Hi everyone
This morning I got up and took the wrong pill.

I start pills on a Thursday, therefore the final one is the day before, on a Wednesday.

So today is Monday, I was supposed to take the Monday pill. I took the Final Wednesday pill instead. A pic is under the cut to clarify (not sure if I will do the cut right though).

I am on Min Ovral.

What should I do?

Positive Pregnancy Test After Miscarriage?

[lacrimose.livejournal.com]

I started to miscarry on the 14th of June at five weeks three days pregnant, at that time my HGC levels were 40 and two days later when they were tested again they were at 10. I was told that things would progress naturally and I didn't need a further check up, I stopped bleeding five days later. A week later I took a pregnancy test in the middle of the day just to see if it would come back with anything and it was negative. On the 22nd I had unprotected sex with my partner and first thing this morning I took a pregnancy test and it came back positive, two more pregnancy tests taken later in the day came back negative.
Now, on to my question. Is it at all possible that I'm showing positive on a pregnancy test ten days after having sex because I'm pregnant or is it because of left over hormones in my system from the miscarriage? I can't seem to find any useful information online and my Dr can't see me until the 7th. What confuses me is the tests I have only detect as low as 25 HGC and my levels were 10 last I was tested, though I suppose it could just be more concentrated with early morning urine? Thank you in advance for any light you folks can shed on this.
