I am 22 years old and 25 weeks pregnant. This morning, my dress got caught and I accidentally hit my stomach (no pain), and later, I received a small static shock on my belly from a Cricut iron. No pain or serious symptoms occurred. Is the baby okay from these incidents, and should I be worried?

For as long as I can remember, my periods have been few and far between, never more than 5 in a year. I now have a 19-month-old baby girl and my husband and I want to have another child. I went off my birth control (Implanon) on January 30, 2009, and have not had a single period yet and am still not pregnant. What is wrong with me?

On day 12 of my cycle, I found a sudden painful lump in the lower part of my breast. Over the next two days, the area of the lump got extremely sore and swollen, and it was also red. By the 6th day, the pain had reduced, but the lump is still there and slightly tender. I am 41 and have had no pregnancies. What could be the cause of this sudden swelling and extreme pain, and why did it suddenly resolve?

Can I take my old contraceptive pills (Mercilon) until my new prescription (Alesse) arrives, and then switch to the new pills without any issues?

I am on the Depo shot and have been bleeding for 2 months with blood clots and some odor. The bleeding has been getting heavier over the past week. I'm using Lexapro and the Depo shot, and I'm 19 years old. Should I go in for a check-up?

I've been on my period for 2 weeks, which is not normal for me. I started on May 14th, with spotting initially, followed by heavy flow for 2 days and light flow for 3 more days. I've been lightly bleeding with little clots for the past 2 weeks. I don't have any lower stomach pain or cramping, which is unusual for me. I'm 21 years old, not on any contraceptives or medications, and have a regular period that usually occurs in the 5th week after the last one. I've gained about 5 lbs since the beginning of the month, have a plant-based diet, and minimal exercise. I've had sexual intercourse with my husband using condoms, and I've never had a Pap smear, STD testing, or pelvic ultrasound. I'm not allergic to any medications and have no other medical conditions. What could be causing this prolonged period, and what should I do next?
