I am having issues with my Mirena IUD. My period began two days ago on December 4th, and it is fairly heavy with a lot of clots and most recently blood that almost had an orange tint to it. My last period in early November was extremely light. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I'm 43 years old and had my tubes tied since 2017. Last month, I spotted for a few days and missed my cycle. I'm now experiencing dizziness, stomach pain with nausea, and very light spotting. What could be causing these symptoms, and should I be concerned about a possible pregnancy?

I was told yesterday that I was pregnant, very early on. I’ve been having severe cramping and the ultrasound looked about 4 weeks. I passed something today that looked like an embryo but I still test positive for pregnancy and I’m not bleeding. Is it likely that I miscarried?

I am 54 years old and have been going through perimenopause for 20 years, experiencing irregular periods and severe lower back pain during my current 12-day period. I also have conditions such as RA, OA, DDD, a broken L5, Barrett's esophagus, and worsening acid reflux despite taking 40mg Nexium daily. Is this normal for my age and medical conditions, or should I seek further medical attention?

I am having symptoms of a yeast infection and am concerned about BV. I took one dose of Monistat 1 on Wednesday, but the discharge and itching are still bothering me. Should I do more or wait? Is it safe to use boric acid suppositories after using Monistat? How long does a yeast infection typically show symptoms?

I’m having very light brown spotting and I’m 5 weeks pregnant. Should I be concerned? I have my first appointment scheduled for November 17, use melatonin and chamomile tea occasionally, take prenatals daily, exercise 3-5 times per week, and have a history of two previous miscarriages and an IUD removal two and a half months ago.
