I had my period from June 20th to June 25th, then experienced a yeast infection on the 28th, treated it with a one-day Monistat treatment, and unexpectedly started my period again a week later. I used Plan B emergency contraceptive on the 27th and do not use regular contraceptives. My periods are generally regular, and I am not on any regular medications. I had a medical abortion in February, which affected my cycle. What could be causing this irregular bleeding?

The unexpected bleeding you experienced shortly after your period could be a side effect of the Plan...

I’m experiencing mild cramping and light bleeding. I’m 5 weeks pregnant. When did the cramping start? How has your pregnancy been so far? Has the level of cramping been constant or has it gotten worse over time? What are all the medications you're currently using, either for the cramp or anything else? Anything else in your medical history you think the Doctor should know?

Is something wrong with me if my period is always late, even after moving to a new environment and changing my diet? I am a virgin, almost 19 years old, not on any medications, and have always had late periods, sometimes by a week or two. I experience mild lower abdominal pain during my periods, but no other significant medical history.

I'm 8 weeks pregnant and noticed some spotting yesterday. I've been having nightmares about miscarriage and noticed continued spotting this morning. It's my first pregnancy. My last period was May 8-14, and this is the first time I've experienced spotting. I've had a small amount of clear discharge throughout my pregnancy, but now it has pink strains of blood in it. I have no pain or dizziness. I am overweight, 5'9" and was 205lbs at the start of my pregnancy. I have my first ultrasound coming up this Thursday. What should I do?

My period is weeks late. I had pink/brownish discharge a few days ago and now I had bright red blood, but it was thinner consistency than my normal period. I’ve had pregnancy symptoms for over a week - nausea/strong sense of smell/increased hunger/high body temperature. Do you think I could still be pregnant or that I just started my period? I’ve never had symptoms like that during my periods before.

I had sex with a condom on, but the condom was removed after ejaculation. I took Plan B (levonorgestrel) within 8 hours. Since then, I've had lower abdominal cramps, fatigue, and now brown spotting 9 days after sex. I'm worried about pregnancy, especially since I don't know when I ovulated. Can these symptoms be pregnancy-related, or are they due to the Plan B pill? Should I be concerned about pregnancy despite taking Plan B?
