I'm 5.5 weeks pregnant and had intense pain in my lower abdomen during sex last night, which made me cry and shake. The pain persisted until I fell asleep, but there was no bleeding. While most of the pain is gone, there's still a small bit left. Is this something I should worry about, especially since this is my second pregnancy after a miscarriage in June?

I have huge clots during my menstrual cycle today. I am bleeding more than usual, with large chunks of blood. The bleeding is getting worse, and I have to keep switching my pads every 30 minutes. I am 19 years old, taking 800 mg of ibuprofen every other day for a herniated disc, and I am sexually active but not on birth control or any other medication. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I'm on Depo-Provera and after every time I have sex, I get brown blood and it's a lot. I'm 19 years old and experiencing cramping and brown blood. My last pap test or pelvic exam was in August. I got my Depo-Provera shot on April 29th. What could be causing this?

I have been experiencing irregular periods for about 8 months. I am 30 years old, do not use contraceptives, and my last period ended on February 28, 2022. I have gained weight and my last pap smear showed low-risk HPV. My periods have fluctuated between 30 to 80 days apart, and I have had some spotting recently. I have a history of fibroids, but they are not considered large enough to cause the irregularity. What could be causing my irregular periods and what tests or treatments should I consider?

I'm 6 weeks pregnant and sometimes I feel like water is coming out of my vagina. I'm not sure if it's discharge or amniotic fluid. Sometimes it doesn't smell, and other times it smells acidic. There are days when my panties get really wet, and other days they don't get wet at all. Sometimes I feel a slight pain, like in my leg, and I pee a lot. What could this be?
