I am experiencing severe abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding (dark brown/black, or sometimes red) for 5 days, which is abnormal for my 5-day cycle. The pain is consistent but intensifies and is sharp and ripping. I also have nausea, bloating, changes in stool, and fatigue. My medical history includes a copper IUD removal earlier this year (which was dislodged), and a recent case of urosepsis with antibiotics. I had brown/black thick blood during my last cycle, but this time there's more pain and ongoing bleeding. What could be causing this and what should I do?

What could be causing the rash and cuts in the genital area, and how can I determine if it's herpes or something else?

I did a non-digital pregnancy test this morning and it looked positive, but the line was faint. Then I took a digital test in the afternoon and it said not pregnant. I should be getting my period today but I'm a bit irregular. Had some cramps. Are you using any contraceptives? Are you using any medications? How old are you? Anything else in your medical history you think the Doctor should know?

I started taking birth control pills for the first time, but I took them weeks before my period started instead of on the first day of my period. Now, my period won't stop, and it's been 7 days. I'm also experiencing cramps. Should I stop taking the birth control pills until my period stops, and what should I do about the bleeding and cramps?

Is it possible to get tubal ligation to prevent pregnancy with my own eggs but still be able to get pregnant with a donated egg fertilized by my fiance using in-vitro fertilization?

I am 20 years old and recently stopped birth control for half a year, then started a new pack this month. I had light bleeding yesterday and severe period cramps today. About 20 minutes ago, I passed a clot/sac of blood and am worried it might be a miscarriage. What could this be and should I see a doctor?
