I have been on birth control pills for 3 years and recently experienced irregular bleeding after starting a new pack. I had a normal period during the sugar pill week about 10-12 days ago, and now I am bleeding again, similar to my normal periods. Should I stop taking my birth control until this bleeding ends and then start a new pack, or should I continue taking it normally?

I have been spotting on my birth control pills (Junel FE) for 3 months now while still on the active pill. The spotting is brown and I have been on this birth control for a year. I have polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and started birth control for heavy bleeding. I never miss a pill and take it at the same time daily. I haven’t been having a full period in probably 6 months, just some brown spotting on the inactive pills then nothing. I also have brown spotting on the active pills as well. What should I do?

My wife is 15 weeks pregnant and experiencing extreme tooth pain. She was prescribed Norco until she can see an OB/GYN on Friday. How safe is it for her to take Norco, and is there a safer alternative to Tylenol for pain and inflammation during pregnancy?

I am 10 weeks pregnant based on my last period starting March 30, 2022. This is my third pregnancy, and for a week, I have been experiencing on and off spotting, which has now turned to red blood with tissue-like material. I also started having cramps over the last hour. What could be the cause of this, and what should I do?

I had a chemical pregnancy last week and have been bleeding consistently for 12 days. I got off birth control in December 2011 and the bleeding has been stable but heavy at times. I am taking Citalopram, Hydroxyzine, Saxenda, and Bupropion. I am 24 years old with a history of depression, anxiety, and obesity. My last period before this bleed was on December 12, 2021, and my positive pregnancy test was on April 10, 2022. The bleeding is heavy with clots for the first 4-6 days, and there have been times when it stopped briefly but resumed heavily. I did not have an ultrasound, and I am not experiencing lightheadedness or dizziness. I typically have irregular periods, having not had one in 7 years due to the Nexplanon birth control implant. I am trying to conceive. What could be causing this prolonged bleeding and what should I do?
