I am a 66-year-old woman living in the Bahamas. I was taking bioidentical hormones for rectocele and vaginal atrophy. My new OBGYN changed my bioidentical hormone dosage to a lower amount, and I started spotting and experiencing pain and irritation after one week. I have not seen blood for 12 years. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I had intercourse 5 days before my expected period and took emergency contraceptive pill (i-pill) soon after, which led to vaginal bleeding for 5 days, coinciding with my usual period days. I'm concerned about potential pregnancy due to multiple instances of intercourse and genital contact without protection. Could I still be pregnant, and if so, how can I confirm it? Additionally, I experienced symptoms like nausea, headache, and abdominal pain after taking the pill. When should I take a pregnancy test for accurate results, and is there another method to confirm pregnancy before my next period?

I have been experiencing persistent itching and irritation in my vaginal area for over six months, along with a constant white, dry discharge. My family doctor has not been able to diagnose or cure the problem, and I am seeking advice on what could be causing this and how to treat it.

I had my period five days early this month and it lasted for five days instead of the usual three. My breasts have been tender and sore for almost a month, and I feel flutters in my lower left side of my stomach. I've been feeling extremely hungry even after eating a lot, and I've noticed my nipples are darker and have some white discharge. I took a pregnancy test from a dollar store which was negative. Could I be pregnant?
