I'm 16 and haven't had a period for a year, which was attributed to the 1600mg of lithium I take. My right breast started bleeding almost two months ago. My psychiatrist recommended seeing a breast specialist, but my regular doctor believes it's due to acne. Last night, I felt for lumps and the pressure made my right nipple bleed, but not my left breast. I've also been experiencing mild to severe nausea. I take 72mg of Concerta and was previously on Reperdal, which my psychiatrist stopped due to potential side effects. What is causing my nipple to bleed and how can I stop it?

Is it possible for an IUD to become dislodged and travel elsewhere? And if so, where could it possibly travel to?

I have been on birth control for about a month. We had sex 3 days after I started it, and I had 2 periods that month. After stopping the birth control in the middle of the sugar pills, I noticed more discharge than normal. Is there a big chance I can be pregnant, and when would be the best time to take a test?

I have experienced a tubal laceration 6.5 years ago and have missed two periods, along with high blood pressure and a bloated belly. My appetite has increased, and I have gained about 15 pounds in the last month and a half. I am currently taking depression medication (Effexor and Wellbutrin) and am 32 years old. What could be causing these symptoms, and what tests or treatments should I consider?

My wife is pregnant (first time) at 36 years old, and we are first cousins with no known history of inbreeding. The combined test (nuchal scan + blood work) returned very low risk for trisomies 21, 13, and 18. We are in the 16th week and considering amniocentesis. We are offered a basic amniocentesis (results in 1 week), can it discover birth defects other than the above trisomies? Should we ask for an extended test? Are we as relatives at a significantly higher risk for sex chromosome disorders? Are the low risk results of the combined test indicative of a generally healthy chromosomal structure, or do they only relate to the 3 trisomies checked?
