I'm not currently on birth control, but I'm experiencing spotting and bleeding. Could I still get pregnant if I was off birth control for a week, then back on, and had unprotected sex? I was on birth control for almost 5 months, and the spotting happened last night. I am 30 years old, not on any medications, and have no known medical conditions or allergies. My last period was on January 24th, and I have regular periods every month. I also have persistent lower stomach pain. I was previously on Mirvala, which allowed for ovulation even while on the pill. I have gained a few pounds recently, but my diet and exercise are good, with a little stress here and there.

The doctor said that the endometrial cavity has 2.6mm of fluid. Is this a lot, and what does it indicate?

My wife is experiencing mood swings, hot flashes, and difficulty sleeping due to early menopause. We have an appointment with a gynecologist on July 23, but is there an over-the-counter drug that can help her manage these symptoms in the meantime?

I am 36 years old and 18.5 weeks pregnant with my first baby. I recently had my 2nd trimester ultrasound and all was completely normal except for an echogenic focus on the heart. I did not have any prenatal testing for Down syndrome and am concerned. My doctor did not seem too worried without any additional markers, but I am looking for some reassurance. I will not be having an amnio as it will not change my decision in the outcome, but I was wondering the likelihood of Down syndrome with just this one marker.

I am a 40-year-old female experiencing severe cramps and continuous heavy bleeding for the past three months. The pain radiates to my back and legs, and I have midcycle bleeding in addition to heavy periods. I have not been checked for fibroids this year and cannot see my gynecologist for three weeks. Should I be concerned about this?

I have experienced two miscarriages. What could be the reasons for this, and can my cold be a contributing factor? After my first miscarriage, it took almost a year to get pregnant again. What precautions should I take, and should we start trying to conceive right away or wait? Are there any tests you recommend for both me and my husband, given that we are both healthy and have no family history of miscarriages? Additionally, why did I experience spotting in both pregnancies?
