Hello Doctor, my last period was March 01 /23. I went in for an ultrasound two weeks ago and they couldn’t see anything inside the gestational sack. I was measuring 1 week behind. Today I had another ultrasound and they saw the baby and a heartbeat 139 bpm. The baby was measuring at 6 weeks two days though. I’m 8 weeks pregnant. I had to go in for an ultrasound because I had light spotting two weeks ago. Spotting stopped and I have no problems. I’m very worried why the baby is measuring so small though. My daughter was always on track when I was pregnant with her. This is my second pregnancy.

I am having some changes in my period this cycle. I get my period for 8 days, on the last day of my period I barely bleed and have mostly spotting. This cycle, I am on my last period day but I’ve noticed a lot of bleeding, kind of like my beginning days of period. I do have some moments that I just have spotting but I’ve noticed times with a good amount of blood. I'm also noticing cramps which is very different from my usual periods. I don’t have any cramps this late into my period and I’m worried something may be wrong.

I am not sure if I’m pregnant. I had a baby three months ago and have had two periods since then. My last period was September 17-23, and I had sex on September 22. My period is three days late, and I haven’t had any PMS symptoms or bleeding. I have also noticed clear, sticky discharge. What could this mean?

I had a hysterectomy a week ago and last night I went to have a couple drinks and had too many, and me and my significant other ended up having sex and now I’m bleeding. Is it possible I tore the stitches inside? The bleeding has been stable, I'm not using any medications, I'm 23 years old, and I have no other medical history to report. I'm experiencing little abdominal pain after sex, but the bleeding is light, not heavy.

I'm on the pill (Mirvala) but had unprotected sex 2 weeks ago and have been experiencing nausea for about 5 days, which comes and goes 2-3 times a day. I'm worried about pregnancy. I'm 21, always tired, bloat easily, and poop more often. I also take an ADHD medication. I took a pregnancy test which was negative, but I know it's early and tests can be wrong.
