I'm 23 weeks pregnant and have noticed an increase in vaginal discharge that is white/cloudy to clearish in color, watery in texture, and has no odor. I'm concerned if it's normal pregnancy discharge or amniotic fluid. Additionally, I'm curious about the variability in fetal movements at this stage of pregnancy and when to be concerned about it.

I take 28-day triphasic low-dose birth control and decided to skip periods for a couple of months. I started my period between packs, experiencing cramps, exhaustion, and normal blood volume. I take my birth control every day at the same time and have not missed any pills. What could be happening, and is this cause for concern?

I recently checked my pap smear results on my patient portal and found some sections labeled as normal and others as abnormal. The sections labeled normal include Pap, LB+hr hpv pathologist and cytotechnologist results. However, there is another section that says abnormal. Which result should I consider as the final interpretation?

I've been spotting continuously for the past 2 weeks. My actual period was January 15 and lasted 7 days, after which I started spotting a week later. I have irregular periods and use Xulane patches, which usually help keep my periods normal. This time, the birth control seems to have stopped working. I had an irregular Pap smear result in June 2023, but my doctor said it was nothing to worry about. I haven't had any stomach pain, dizziness, or vaginal discharge. What could be causing the spotting, and should I be concerned?

I got an IUD last month and I bleed after sex every time now. I haven't had a period, but I get severe pains and cramps, I get lightheaded & body chills. I am also having difficulty eating, I have no appetite anymore and I feel overall sick. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

I experienced abnormal vaginal bleeding for a short time and then it stopped. This has never happened before. I am 22 years old, not using any medications, and my periods are generally regular. I had unprotected, somewhat rough vaginal sex on March 4th, and the bleeding started on March 8th. I noticed rare faint spotting before, but the bleeding was more intense this morning. I do not have vaginal itching, swelling, or soreness, but I feel mild cramps.
