I’m currently 7 weeks and 4 days pregnant and taking baclofen, lyrica, and amitriptyline for pain and depression. I’m concerned about the safety of these medications for my baby and need advice on whether to continue or stop them.

I am 25, not on birth control, had a laparoscopy in October which diagnosed endometriosis. I started my period on March 9th and finished on the 14th. I started bleeding again with cramps on the 19th and am still bleeding. This has never happened before. I'm concerned and want to know what could be causing this and what tests I should consider.

I am 39 years old, had my tubes tied in 2008, and have experienced longer periods since then. I was prescribed progesterone for 10 days a month to regulate my periods. I had my gallbladder and right ovary removed in March. In the past few months, my periods have been heavy for 2 days, then stop for 1 or 2 days, followed by spotting off and on, and sometimes brown mucousy discharge, lasting about 10 days. I have also experienced hot flashes, dizziness, pelvic pain, bloating, and occipital neuralgia. My doctor ordered a CA-125 test (which was good), an ultrasound that showed 2 cysts on my left ovary, and a pap test (within normal limits). I have an endometrial biopsy scheduled but wonder if I really need it. Could I be perimenopausal?

Have you ever heard of the development of nontender lumps in the breast following treatment for meningitis with vancomycin and rocephin? The lumps are the same bilaterally and almost feel like engorged breast tissue on palpation.

I'm experiencing discomfort that could be a vaginal infection or thrush, including itching and burning throughout the day. I'm also taking Clomiphene as part of trying to conceive. I'm concerned about an unusual smell and want to know if there are any natural remedies, over-the-counter medications available in New Zealand, or if a prescription is needed. Are there any natural remedies for this issue?
