I am 17 years old and have not had my period for two months. I am not sexually active, but I had a sexual encounter three years ago. I am worried about the delayed period and a slight bulge in my tummy or uterus area. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I had my period and when I thought it was over, had intercourse and it made me bleed again for a few days. Should I be worried? It almost happens every time. If my period lasts 5 days, I have to wait until day 7 or 8 to prevent this, and I don't understand why. Additionally, I got what I thought was my regular period on 7/3, but it was mainly dark brown blood. It lasted about 3 days and went away. I barely saw any red blood, maybe spots in my urine. Then I bled a bit again, but the brown discharge after I had intercourse last night. What could be causing this?

I've been having brown discharge for 3 weeks with occasional red spots, requiring 2-3 liners daily. I've taken 4 negative pregnancy tests, but I've also been feeling bloated and hungry all the time. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I think my period got skipped. I took a test and it came back negative but it’s been 42 days since my last period. I am 25 years old, used Plan B on January 16, and had unprotected sex when I was 8 days late. My periods are usually 26 to 28 days apart, but they have been irregular since using Plan B, with cycles of 13 days and 30 days apart. I am a bit stressed with school and work but it’s nothing too extreme. What could be causing this irregularity and what should I do?

I am having extremely severe period cramps, unable to move and throwing up from the pain. I am unable to have sex because of how much it hurts. And I have constant back cramps. The cramping usually lasts a week to a week and a half before my period, and once the blood starts, it improves but I still get intense moments of cramping during my period. I am 20 years old and take 600-800mg of ibuprofen to help. I also went to the ER for pain and they told me I had a hemorrhagic cyst that was 3.44 cm. I have tried LoEstrin birth control and currently have an IUD (Kyleena), but there has been 0 pain improvement and I still get my periods. The pain lasts even after my period is finished and I have cramping randomly through my days. Sometimes all I can do is lay down. My doctor has mentioned endometriosis but no action is being taken. What should I do?
