I have been experiencing persistent pain in my lower abdomen, irregular periods, and additional symptoms such as lower back pain and mild cramping in my thighs. The pain is sometimes dull and sometimes sharp, and it has become more constant over time. I am sexually active and sometimes experience pain during intercourse. I also recently felt lightheaded and nauseous, almost passing out. What could be causing these symptoms?

I was advised to have a withdrawal bleed for 7 days to stop bleeding and then resume pills as normal, but weeks later I'm bleeding again. What can I do to control the bleeding and what tests should I consider?

I'm scared I'm pregnant. I'm using the barrier method, specifically condoms, and I'm 8 days late on my period. I've been experiencing cramps and sore breasts for the last few days. My periods haven't been regular since I was a kid, and I've recently been on antibiotics for an upper respiratory infection. I get scared about the idea of getting pregnant every time I have sex, even though it's always protected.

I was supposed to get my period on May 8th, but I haven't yet and today I started spotting with cramps. I took a pregnancy test last week that was negative, and I have a doctor's appointment next week. I was on birth control for 15 years until July 2022, and my periods have been regular since November, coming between the 4th-8th of each month. I'm 30 years old and not on any medications. What could be causing this and what should I do?

Had sex last week Tuesday and again barely yesterday, both times with ejaculation inside. This morning I had my period. Can I still be pregnant?
