I recently returned from a trip to Mexico where I experienced weight loss and symptoms similar to Montezuma's Revenge. My period was delayed and I had light spotting, followed by a shorter and lighter period than usual. I am on birth control pills and had protected sex before the trip. I took multiple negative pregnancy tests and have symptoms like nausea, frequent urination, and stomach pain. Could these symptoms be related to a stomach virus or a urinary tract infection, and how do they affect my period and pregnancy likelihood?

I am on my period for almost two weeks now. I don’t remember exactly when it started, haven’t had a Pap test, and I am overweight. What could be causing this prolonged period and what can I do about it?

I have an IUD and when I checked it after a 2-week period, I can feel a hard object at the bottom, which feels like plastic. How long have you used the IUD? When did your last period begin? When was your last pap test, and what were the results? Any swelling, discoloration, or unusual smells? Anything else in your medical history you think the Doctor should know?

I was wondering if maca root would interfere with my birth control pills? I just wanted to try out maca root because I have a low libido. I started the pills last week and have dealt with this since last year. I am 18 years old and have not used this or anything similar before. I had a child 16 months ago.
