I have COVID-19 at 7 weeks pregnant. I've had a first-trimester ultrasound, am taking prenatal vitamins and Tylenol, and haven't been exercising due to the first trimester. My temperature has been hovering around 99.3°F for a few days, but it fluctuates when measured with a forehead thermometer. Is my case considered mild, and can COVID-19 affect my pregnancy or the baby?

I am 42 years old and on the 8th day of my period with increased bleeding. I have fibroids measuring 2 centimeters. I started taking Lo Loestrin Fe contraceptives from the first day of menstruation, hoping to reduce blood loss, but it seems to have worsened. I am not on any other medications except for iron. My periods are generally regular, occurring every 21-24 days. I experience aching and stretching in the area of the fibroid node, which is accompanied by blood flow. Should I continue taking Lo Loestrin Fe, and what other steps should I take to manage this condition?

I often get recurrent UTIs and was wondering if there is a probiotic I can take to minimize this. I am 19 years old and have been experiencing this issue over the past few months, especially just before my period begins. I am not using any medications and have no other relevant medical history.

How do OBGYN doctors determine how far along you are in a pregnancy?

I think I’m pregnant but I have an IUD. My last period was around May 1st. My last Pap test was a year ago with no unusual results. I took a pregnancy test and it was positive. I am 20 years old, and my IUD was inserted 3 years ago but is two weeks expired. I took the pregnancy test two hours ago and have had abdominal and pelvic floor cramps since May 24th. I haven’t been able to feel the threads of the IUD, and the test was old, about a year, with just the white packaging around the test.
