I am experiencing debilitating pain during my periods, including severe cramps that prevent movement, vomiting from the pain, and extreme hot and cold flashes. I take up to 1500mg of painkillers like Midol, Tylenol, and Ibuprofen, but they don't help. My periods are also irregular, sometimes starting 2.5 weeks apart, and I can't predict when they will occur. Is this normal, or is there something wrong that needs medical attention?

I have had a hormonal IUD for a year and a half. Two weeks ago after ovulation, I started spotting, and now my period is 3 days late. Could I be pregnant? I haven't missed a period on the IUD this whole year. Additionally, I have constant stomach pain, a feeling of fullness, and normal vaginal discharge. What could be causing these symptoms?

I have recurring bacterial vaginosis (BV) infections and recently tested positive for Ureaplasma. I have no sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and all other tests were negative. What is Ureaplasma, and should I be concerned about it in relation to my BV?

I had unprotected sex on September 19 and 21, took Plan B pills on the same days, and started bleeding profusely with brown blood from September 25 to 28. My period should have come by now, but it hasn't, and I've taken over 50 pregnancy tests, all negative. Why haven't I gotten my period, and is there a chance I'm still pregnant?
