I am 45 years old and have been experiencing prolonged and irregular bleeding since May 16th. My period started with heavy flow, then light, and lasted for three days, but then started again on May 27th and has continued with varying heaviness. I have fatigue but no other symptoms. I went to the ER, where an ultrasound showed a thick endometrial lining, and my blood work was normal. I was given transexamic acid, which didn't work, and then Provera for ten days, which stopped the bleeding. I am concerned about the cause of this prolonged bleeding and whether it will start again after I stop taking Provera. What could be the causes, and what further tests or treatments might be necessary?

I had unprotected sex on the 20th of this month and took Plan B on the 21st. I usually get my period around the 8-10th of every month. How does ovulation work and what are the effects of Plan B on my cycle?

Why is my period late, and I'm not pregnant? I am 20 years old, not using contraceptives or medications, and I experienced a sexual assault recently, taking the morning-after pill. My period was supposed to start two days ago.

My blood work from my gynecologist showed a source of trichomoniasis (trich cx). They haven't called me back yet, and I go next week for an ultrasound. What does this mean?

Lines that popped up after I washed myself hard with a towel. Does it look like anything serious like an STD or herpes? Should I be concerned about STDs?

I have an IUD (Liletta) that has been in place for 4 years. Recently, I've been experiencing prolonged bleeding for 3 weeks, frequent spotting, and today I started bleeding more with mild cramps. My IUD was noted to be lower than where it should be during my last OB/GYN visit in November. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?
