I am a 57-year-old woman who has not had a menstrual cycle in 8-9 years. Two weeks ago, I experienced light spotting after intercourse, along with some cramping and back pain that felt similar to when I was getting my periods. I take Chinese Pearls and had a checkup with a gynecologist in February, which showed endometrial cells on my pap but a subsequent sonogram was normal. What could be causing the spotting, and should I be concerned?

I had an IUD inserted about 1 year ago and I stopped getting my period altogether shortly after. For the past 3 weeks, however, I've started bleeding. It's a mix of period blood or spotting, and each day the flow changes. Recently, I've started getting period symptoms associated with the bleeding. How long have you used the IUD? Has the bleeding been stable or getting worse? Are you using any medications, either for the bleeding or anything else? If so, do you know the dosage? Anything else in your medical history you think the Doctor should know?

I want to be knowledgeable about taking birth control pills. I am interested in starting birth control and need information on how to use it effectively, including types of pills, consistency, start date, backup methods, continuous use, and what to do if pills are missed. Additionally, I need guidance on where to get prescriptions and how to use emergency contraception pills.

I'm 8 weeks pregnant and experiencing tightness in my chest throughout the day, along with a new cough. Should I be worried about these symptoms, which could be due to hormonal changes, or is it something more concerning?

How do you know you had a miscarriage? I was bleeding about a month ago, and last night I started cramping and bled super heavy and super dark. The blood in the toilet looked kinda griddy but thick with mucus. What could this be?
