My period is a week late. I am 23 years old, on 45mg of Mirtazapine for depression, and not using any contraceptives. I had intimate foreplay with my partner where semen may have come into contact with my vagina, and he also inserted his fingers into my vagina. Could this have caused pregnancy, and is it too soon to know? What else could be causing my late period?

I have a problem with my breast. I am 18 years old and have noticed a difference in size and hardness in one breast for about a year. There is no pain, but I can feel something inside that feels hard. What should I do, and where should I go for a check-up?

I have PMDD and it's getting worse. I had a pregnancy loss in July, and since then, my symptoms have intensified, including sleep issues, loss of appetite, rashes, and severe mental distress. My period is regular, and I'm taking SSRIs (specifically Venlafaxin). What can be done to help manage these symptoms?

I have been experiencing severe cramping and unusually heavy bleeding, which started about a week earlier than expected. I have been more sexually active recently and am using condoms for protection. This is the first time I've had a period like this. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

I am having brown discharge with no odor, sometimes with tiny brown clots and spotting in my underwear. My last period started on March 20th and lasted about 5 days. My cycle is regular, and I had unprotected sex around mid-February. I do not take birth control or any medications. What could be causing the brown discharge, and is it safe to have intercourse?
