Hello, I have had my period for about 10 days now. I tend to always have periods that are about 8 days long, they’re always heavy and get lighter as they go on. I just found it odd that I have a 10 day long period. I am a virgin, on the 4th day of my period though I did use plan b after my boyfriend and I messed around as a precaution but we did not have sex. I am 18 years old. Are there any medical reasons for my longer period?

Hi Doctor. In November I fell pregnant but had an early miscarriage where my HCG didn't go up. Two weeks after the miscarriage, I became pregnant again. At 4 weeks and 3 days (December 29th), my HCG was 985. Due to spotting (brown and a few drops of red blood), I freaked out and my doctor ordered another blood test. On January 2nd, my HCG was 2085. I'm taking Duphaston 10 mg and baby aspirin since I noticed the spotting. I'm super scared. Is this the beginning of a new miscarriage? Are the values okay? Considering they should be doubling, it looks like I'm below the 48-hour rule. What are your thoughts on my case?

I have been experiencing bloody brown discharge and have had three different rounds of antibiotics since the end of August for various diagnoses including kidney stone/cyst, yeast infection, and BV. My STD panel has been clear all three times. I also have endometriosis and had a hysterectomy two years ago. What could be causing this recurring discharge?

I took Plan B last Wednesday, and my period ended on the same day. Today, exactly a week later, I'm experiencing consistent, heavy bleeding. Could this be due to Plan B, or is it a more serious issue?

I am a 21-year-old vegan runner who hasn't had a period in over six months. I am taking several medications including doxycycline, Sertraline, bupropion, and spirolactone. I am also iron deficient. I am trying to start birth control but don't know when to start since I don't know when I'll get my period again. Additionally, I have noticed some excess vaginal discharge after recent sexual activity. What should I do?

My wife is experiencing bleeding after masturbating with a sex toy, and she is also having stomach aches. Her period is not due for more than 10 days. Is she using any contraceptives? Has the bleeding been stable or getting worse? Is she using any medications? How old is she? Is there anything else in her medical history that the doctor should know?
