I have a Paraguard IUD that was inserted in 2016. Recently, I've noticed that hair/fuzz has gotten stuck on the IUD strings twice in the last two months, the strings seem to have shifted and are more noticeable, and I've experienced more intense menstrual cramps. What could these changes indicate and what should I do?

What happens if I take Plan B while on my period, and why haven't I started my period this month after taking it last month around November 20th? I've also been feeling incredibly bloated.

I am on day 13 post embryo transfer and experienced light bleeding and brown discharge on day 9 and 11. My beta hCG blood test results were 507 on day 10 and 1230 on day 12. Is something wrong? Why am I bleeding or getting this brown discharge? Should I continue taking Clexane injections, and will it affect my pregnancy or cause complications? Should I repeat my blood tests every 48 hours until my scan date in two weeks to check if my hCG levels are doubling well due to the bleeding I had?

I had a urine culture done two years ago that showed resistant bacteria, and I was never treated. I'm worried about the potential seriousness of this issue. What can I do about it, and how common is this condition?

I'm newly pregnant and 42 years old. I've been spotting on and off, with my last period being a week ago. The spotting is a dark pink color and there's no pain or cramps, just typical pregnant feelings. I have a history of placenta previa and placenta separation in previous pregnancies. What should I do about the spotting?
