I am 36 weeks pregnant and felt as if my water broke in the tub last night. I have been 1 cm dilated for over a week and have been experiencing Braxton Hicks all week. There was a small amount of fluid leak after the tub but not enough to make my underwear 'wet wet'. I went to sleep and woke up dry. As I moved around more this morning, I found my underwear with water spots in them again. Can fluid stop leaking for that long and then continue? Or is it possible I'm just peeing a little bit and not noticing?

My wife is taking buspirone and another anti-anxiety medication. She took two at-home pregnancy tests yesterday and they showed positive. She has been on these medications since July 5th and is about a week late than usual but has had irregular periods in the past. Could the start of these new medications cause a false positive test?

I've been exercising five times a week and eating healthy to lose weight because I am pre-diabetic, but the weight is not coming off. Is it because of my Mirena IUD? My hormones are too unbalanced. I'm also at a high risk for coronary heart disease.

I am a 46-year-old white female taking Monessa birth control pills, which will run out this week. I recently moved from overseas and can't see a doctor until the end of the month. I am married, have two children, and do not want more. I suspect I am perimenopausal due to hot flashes. What other birth control options are recommended for my age, and are long-term implants like Implanon a good option?

I am 42 and seem to be having my period 2 times a month with dark brown spotting that can burn if not promptly changed. Two years ago, I was tested thoroughly and the result was that it sometimes happens to women of my age. I am not satisfied with this answer. What could be the cause and what should I do?
