I had a birth control shot in March but didn't get the second shot in June. I've been off birth control since then and haven't had a period. I've been cramping but no period. I'm trying to get pregnant. What's happening and what should I expect?

Headaches during early pregnancy are normal. I have been experiencing slight headaches around my right eye, bridge of nose, and back of neck on the right side. I am 33 years old, in my third pregnancy, and have checked my blood pressure, which was 115/74. Additionally, I have been experiencing daily cramping, which I was told is mild but feels sharp and moderate to severe to me. I am worried about this pregnancy.

What does irregular bleeding from Plan B look like? I’m experiencing this right now, I’ve talked to multiple doctors and they all said it’s normal but I don’t know what a normal amount of blood would look like. I already got my period after taking the pill and have experienced light brown spotting, but now it’s blood. It’s not enough to fill a whole pad but it comes out in the toilet and when I wipe.

How early can a doctor determine if you are pregnant, are take-home pregnancy tests reliable, and how soon after intercourse can you take a pregnancy test? Additionally, what happens to sperm if they don't reach the egg, and how can you calculate ovulation?

My period is so heavy that it overflows a tampon and a pad within an hour. I'm in another country and don't know what to do. I'm running out of clothes. Are you using any contraceptives? When did your last period begin? Are you using any medications? How old are you? Anything else in your medical history you think the Doctor should know?
