I'm in my premenopause and my cycle has shortened for almost 2 years, but now for the first time, I haven't started after 32 days. Could it be the beginning of 12 months menopause or could it stop completely now? Or does it always lengthen for 6-12 times before it stops completely? I'm 41 years old, had a child in January 2018, and my periods have been irregular ever since. I know through a blood test that my estrogen has dropped very much. Additionally, I'm concerned about the risk of early onset dementia as my mother died of Benson syndrome, but her menopause was at 52.

If I am currently not on my period and have never taken birth control before, is it safe to start taking the pills now or do I need to wait until my next period?

I have been diagnosed with HPV, but I have no cervical cellular changes and my Pap test came back normal. If it turns out to be a high-risk type, could it go away on its own, and what are the chances of it causing future issues or being transmitted to others?

I have a Mirena hormonal IUD that was inserted in February 2019. I recently had a full-body x-ray and noticed that my IUD appeared off-center in the image. I have also experienced some stomach pain over the last week, which usually subsides within an hour after meals. I am not currently sexually active and not on any medications other than a few herbal supplements. Should I be concerned about the IUD's position, and is the stomach pain related to it?

My menstrual cycle has been irregular for a while now, and my last cycle was on December 20. I am 22 years old and not using any medications. I am concerned about whether I could be pregnant and, if so, how many weeks along I might be. What are the possible reasons for my irregular cycle and what tests or examinations should I undergo to determine the cause?
