I had my IUD removed on April 1st and experienced a regular period from April 4th to 7th. In May, I had only spotting for about 5 days, and now in June, I am again experiencing very light brown spotting. Is it normal to have irregular periods after IUD removal, and could this spotting be related to trying to conceive?

I'm taking 100 mg of Prometrium. Does it act like a birth control? I took it for ten days, took a break, and didn't get my period, so I started taking it again. The doctor said I had eggs during an ultrasound and I'm trying to conceive without IVF. Should I continue taking Prometrium without stopping, and should I switch back to an over-the-counter cream or stay on the 100 mg pill?

I started a new birth control about a month ago, but I'm experiencing side effects that resemble pregnancy symptoms, including light pink-orange bleeding 5 days before my expected period. Could this be implantation bleeding, and can I take a pregnancy test to get an accurate result?
