I'm 51 and still having periods. I bleed heavily on days 2-3 and am up many times at night to change an overnight pad. Is it okay to use a tampon during sleep to avoid frequent changes and save the sheets?

My girlfriend took Plan B after a condom broke two nights ago. The same thing happened again last night. Should she take Plan B again, or does the first dose from yesterday morning cover what happened last night?

My husband and I are thinking about having a baby soon. I take 60 mg of Paxil and have had unsuccessful tapers. The information on Paxil and birth defects is inconsistent. I am looking for someone with experience in dealing with pregnant patients on Paxil to share how the pregnancy and baby turned out.

I missed my depo shot the first week of April. Had unprotected sex on May 16th and 23rd. I'm experiencing gas, bloating, tender nipples, nausea without vomiting, and a heightened sense of smell. My last period was a light one that lasted two weeks after missing the depo shot. My last pap smear in January was normal, and all STD and HIV tests were negative. Is it possible for me to be pregnant, and should I take a pregnancy test?
