I am 51 years old and my period has become erratic over the past year. I had a period on November 4th, skipped December, and then had a shorter, lighter period on January 5th. I got my period again on January 25th and am still bleeding. I had my annual exam and pap smear in July and everything was fine. Are these irregularities normal during perimenopause, and should I be concerned?

I got pregnant on the first attempt in my last two pregnancies, but the second resulted in a miscarriage. I had a D&C done and tried again after the first normal cycle, but haven't been successful. Is it possible my body is out of sync, and could the D&C have caused any damage?

I had an STD (Chlamydia) while pregnant and was treated, but I'm unsure if I was reinfected before birth. My baby is 1.5 years old and has been fine, but I want to ensure she doesn't have Chlamydia. Where should I go to get her checked, and could the bumps on her face and lip be related to Chlamydia?

If I had sex on the 8th, 9th, and 11th day of my cycle (which was the 10th, 11th, and 13th day of the month), and the partner did not ejaculate inside me but instead peed after ejaculation and wiped with a towel before insertion, is there any chance of pregnancy? I am experiencing sore breasts, similar to symptoms before my period, which is due in 8 days.

I have a question about my period. I had my period for only one day this month, which is unusual for me as it usually lasts 6 days. My last period began on June 27th, and I am not using any contraceptives or medications. I am 25 years old and have been trying to conceive for 3 months. I have had a previous pregnancy but lost the baby. This month, my period lasted only a few hours and I have been experiencing stomach pains. I took a pregnancy test this morning, which was negative. Is this normal, and what should I do next?

I am a 21-year-old female experiencing a burning sensation and sharp, on-and-off stabbing pain in my right breast, which radiates down to my armpit and bicep. My periods are regular, and I have no other significant symptoms except for occasional stress and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). My aunt has breast cancer. What could be causing this pain, and should I be concerned about it being cancerous?
