I recently switched from Natazia (Estradiol valerate-dienogest) to the NuvaRing for the first time and inserted it according to my pill pack schedule. I removed it after three weeks, but it's now Friday and I haven't gotten my period. I'm concerned about possible pregnancy. Additionally, I brought my NuvaRing from New York to Costa Rica and stored it at 78F, which is slightly above the recommended maximum storage temperature of 77F. Should I be concerned about the effectiveness of the NuvaRing due to this temperature difference?

I’m 7 weeks pregnant and experiencing cramps and bleeding. The cramps started a few days ago and have been mild but briefly intense today, accompanied by some blood. I have a history of Crohn’s disease, PCOS, interstitial cystitis, and am on medications including Humira, Keppra, Trileptal, Dexilant, Xyzal, and Trazadone. What should I do?

I have a question about light bleeding after menopause. I'm 56 years old and the bleeding started a few days ago, a day or two after sex. I don't see bleeding in my underwear, but on tissue and when I go to the bathroom. I feel abdominal discomfort and some cramping (almost like a period). I take natural hormones. I noticed abdominal discomfort when I was jogging, and then I saw the bleeding. I haven't gone to the doctor yet.

I haven’t had a period in 3 months and keep testing negative with home pregnancy tests and even tested negative with a blood test at the ER. What could be the problem?

I have been bleeding over 250 mls a day for 4 days. Should I go to the ER? I'm on norethindrone and tranexenic acid with no slowing down. I use a menstrual cup- 30 mls every 2-4 hours. Clots about the size of ping pong balls. Cramping so bad I can hardly get out of bed. I have endometriosis, and this is the second time I've had such heavy bleeding.
