I have been bleeding/spotting for 3 weeks with a Kyleena IUD for about a year. How do I stop this bleeding, and could removing the IUD help? I am also on anxiety medication and have stable bleeding with no other symptoms except irregular cycles since getting the IUD.

I stopped taking birth control last May and haven't had a period since June. I'm 23 years old, not using any medications, and I'm generally healthy and active. I had low iron in the past and had cystic acne two years ago. I was using Cyclen and then Yaz, and had unprotected sex only a handful of times with the same partner, who I've been checked for STDs with, which were negative. What could be causing my missed periods and what can I do to address it?

I am trying to get pregnant and am currently 9 days post ovulation. My next period is due on April 17th, and I am experiencing symptoms like fatigue, nausea, cramps, bloating, and food cravings. I am scared to take a pregnancy test because of potential negative results. What should I do?
