I am a 29-year-old married white female with IBS-D and a mild latex allergy. I want to change my birth control due to moodiness and depression during PMS, but have experienced side effects like blood pressure spikes, weight gain, and abnormal hair growth with previous methods. I have been on Microgestin Fe for over a year and am considering switching to either NuvaRing or Yaz. Which do you recommend, considering my IBS and latex allergy, and can I swim, bathe, and douche normally with NuvaRing?

I am a 36-year-old female. My period ended on Thursday, but I have been experiencing very light spotting since then, which is more pinkish or brownish. I have occasional cramps but not major ones. What could be causing the spotting, and is there anything I can do to stop it?

I’m having my period and instead of bleeding it’s a brownish black. Is that normal?

I need to postpone my periods due to a sudden trip. Are there any over-the-counter pills I can buy, or can I get a prescription online now?

I am 27 years old and have just had my third baby. She is now 16 weeks old, and I haven't had a period yet. I have been testing for my LH surge to prevent pregnancy, and I had two positive days last Sunday and Monday. It is now Friday, and I am bleeding. I am worried about the bleeding, as it usually starts 11-12 days after I ovulate. It started with brown discharge but is now red blood. I have also been experiencing dizzy spells and mild period cramps, with a few sharp pains on my right side. What could be causing this, and what should I do?

I had an IUD, and after two years had it removed. I am 30 now, and have ovarian cysts and very abnormal periods. It's been nearly 5 years since it was removed and I'm really starting to worry that the cysts will never go away, and if they're causing my weird periods. I'm also worried about ovarian cancer. Is this normal?
