I had unprotected sex today and my last menstrual period was on the 12th. I am 25 years old with no symptoms. I want to avoid pregnancy. Is there anything else in my medical history the doctor should know?

I went to the doctor today because I was short of breath upon exertion, like going up steps, which just started a few days ago. The doctor prescribed me a Prednisone pack and I've only taken 20 mg of it. They did a chest X-ray (CXR) and asked if I could be pregnant, to which I initially said no but later found out I am pregnant. I'm worried about the X-ray and the Prednisone. I'm also taking Prozac, which I've been on for a long time. Is it safe to take while pregnant? How will the X-ray and Prednisone affect me or the pregnancy?

What condition can mimic a UTI but is not treated by nitrofurantoin and metronidazole, and what other potential issues could be causing my symptoms?

I am 51 and have been in perimenopause. I had not had a period in 6 months, but now I've had two periods in the last two months, each lasting two weeks with a two-week hiatus in between. I also experienced a urinary tract infection and random bleeding episodes. Is this normal, and what should I do about the excessive bleeding and severe cramping?
