I am a 24-year-old female. I had sex on 12/1 and 12/2, and had a period on 12/19 that lasted 8 days with light pinkish red bleeding the first day and spotting the rest, brown tinted the last 5 days. My last normal period was on 11/11/20, and I usually get my periods every 38 days. I am now 12 days late. I recently took penicillin for a tooth and have experienced fatigue and bad heartburn for the past week and a half. I had a pregnancy test at the hospital a week and a half ago but don't remember the result. Could I be pregnant, and what could be causing my delayed period?

I am 22 years old, 18 weeks pregnant, and weigh 255 pounds. I have had two early miscarriages and one missed miscarriage where I had to take misoprostol. I have heavy periods and bled heavily after miscarriages, but no dangerous amounts or hemorrhage. I am concerned about postpartum hemorrhage due to my history of heavy bleeding. Does my history of miscarriages lower my risk of postpartum hemorrhage? Is there anything I can do to minimize this risk?

I have been on my period for about 2 weeks now, starting with brown discharge and then a heavy pink/brown flow, and now only brown discharge. I had an IUD (Mirena) placed in February, and I was on birth control pills before that. I've had pregnancy-like symptoms such as fatigue, back pain, and severe cramps, but I thought they were related to the IUD. Additionally, I am experiencing vaginal dryness, itchiness, burning sensations, and occasional blood when I wipe, which is not period blood. I have seen minimal yellow-grey discharge recently. What could be causing these issues, and what should I do?

I can feel a large hard lump inside my vaginal canal, about a finger's depth in and toward my anus. I have a history of IBS and genital warts from over 5 years ago. What could this be?

I gave birth six months ago and had my menstrual cycle return in November, which was normal but then stopped until the beginning of January when I started bleeding heavily and it hasn't stopped. I'm concerned since it's not easing up. I'm 31 years old and take prednisone, cellcept, and enalapril. I have Wegener's granulomatosis, an autoimmune disease, for which I received rituxan infusions in December. I'm sexually active with my husband and this is the first time I've had prolonged bleeding. I had abdominal cramps before the bleeding started but no other symptoms like nosebleeds, bleeding gums, bruises, blood in urine or stools, genital redness, bumps, sores, or urinary symptoms. The blood is bright red. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I came off my period on the 26th, had unprotected sex on the 27th, and took Plan B on the 29th or 30th. I started bleeding on the 4th, which was brownish but kind of red. Could this be implantation bleeding, and could I be pregnant? I've taken Plan B before and never had this reaction.
