I have experienced two second-trimester losses within a year. The first was at 16 weeks due to premature rupture of membranes, and the second was at 14 weeks after a cervical polyp removal and cerclage placement, which led to contractions and subsequent loss. What are the chances of having a full-term pregnancy in the future, and what precautions or treatments should I consider for a future pregnancy?

I have missed my period, which is usually on time. It's day 4, and all pregnancy tests have come out negative. I am not using contraceptives, and my last period began on October 26th. I also had two periods last month. My last pap test was a few months ago and came back fine. I have noticed brown discharge on my pad but no unusual smells. I have been under a lot of stress and recently traveled on an airplane. Could this be affecting my period, or could I still be pregnant?

I'm experiencing anxiety about potentially developing ALS due to mild nerve injuries from yoga and dental treatment. I had temporary weakness in my big toe and numbness in my leg, which resolved quickly. I'm also concerned about nerve damage from a C-section. Can you help clarify if these mild nerve injuries could lead to ALS, and what the nerve repair process involves?

My last period was from October 31st to November 5th. We had sex on November 8th, and he finished inside of me. I know I wasn’t ovulating that quickly after my period ended. Is there a way I could be pregnant? I was supposed to get my period on December 1st, so now it’s two days late. I have symptoms of my period coming like cramping and breaking out, and I also have white milky discharge that you get before a period is coming. I took two pregnancy tests yesterday and they both came back negative. I took the ones that are able to tell you 6 days before your missed period if you’re pregnant and they both came back negative. Should I retake a test today?

I have always been regular with my periods, but since November 2020, I have experienced longer periods, with one lasting about 4 weeks. My last period ended on April 1st, and I started bleeding again two weeks later with heavy cramps. What could be causing this and what should I do?

Hello, I am currently pregnant and have been unable to hold any food down for the past 2 days. I'm experiencing dizziness, stomach cramps, and chest pains. My appointment with my OB/GYN isn't until October 14th. Should I try to see a doctor sooner for these symptoms?
