I am 5 weeks pregnant and concerned about an ectopic pregnancy. I had some neck pain and light bleeding. I am 35 years old and have had a previous C-section. I have taken 4 pregnancy tests, and my first scan is due in 2 weeks. I am only on prenatal vitamins. What should I know about my symptoms and the possibility of an ectopic pregnancy?

It's not uncommon to experience some spotting or bleeding during early pregnancy due to hormonal flu...

I have had lower abdominal discomfort and bloating for a week, and I have irregular periods, occurring only 3-4 times a year. I am not using any contraceptives or medications, and I am 19 years old. My last blood test was normal, and I have never been to a gynecologist. What could be causing my symptoms and what should I do?

I have been bleeding/spotting for 3 weeks with a Kyleena IUD for about a year. How do I stop this bleeding, and could removing the IUD help? I am also on anxiety medication and have stable bleeding with no other symptoms except irregular cycles since getting the IUD.

I stopped taking birth control last May and haven't had a period since June. I'm 23 years old, not using any medications, and I'm generally healthy and active. I had low iron in the past and had cystic acne two years ago. I was using Cyclen and then Yaz, and had unprotected sex only a handful of times with the same partner, who I've been checked for STDs with, which were negative. What could be causing my missed periods and what can I do to address it?

Monogamous partners have HPV. What is your recommendation? Do they need to use condoms? Will the virus "clear" if they don't use condoms? Will they re-infect one another?

Can I get pregnant one week before my next period starts?
