I am a 50-year-old woman with chronic anemia and two medium-sized fibroids in my uterus causing heavy bleeding, worsening my anemia. I started using birth control pills, which helped but led to the development of fibroadenoma in my breast. My doctor suggests an ablation but is not opposed to a partial hysterectomy. What treatment do you recommend?

I came on my period on April 23rd and got off around April 27 or 28. On the first day of my cycle, I had sex and the partner ejaculated inside me. Should I worry about pregnancy and should I take a pregnancy test now?

I was on birth control for 3 months to regulate my periods, but I stopped in September and haven't had a period for 8 months. I'm not pregnant. Is this dangerous, and what could be causing it?

I was supposed to get my period 17 days ago (last period was September 30) and still have not gotten it. I am 18 years old, not on birth control or any contraceptives, not taking any medications, and sexually active. The last time my partner and I had sex was October 15, and we used protection as well as him pulling out. I've been feeling pressure in my lower abdomen and I don't know if that's related. What could it be?

Is there any good birth control method that does not cause weight gain, increase breast size, or cause breakouts, and what options are available for someone with a low pain tolerance, such as sedation during an IUD insertion?
