I'm on day 28 of my period and it's extremely heavy. I'm wondering if I should go to the emergency room. I'm using contraceptives, specifically Celexa 40mg a day and a progesterone-only birth control. I've had two kids, one vaginally and one via C-section. My last period began on December 2, and it's been extremely clotty, requiring a super tampon change every 30 to 60 minutes. I have fatigue but no dizziness or shortness of breath. My periods were regular before this. I don't have persistent lower stomach pain other than occasional cramps. My weight, diet, exercise, and stress levels have remained the same. My last Pap smear was in early November, and everything came back normal. I had a pelvic MRI last year, and STI testing was done with my Pap, all negative. I'm anemic and have ADHD.

I am a 27-year-old woman who has undergone IUI treatment and is experiencing spotting on the 29th day of my cycle. I have taken a home pregnancy test and a beta hCG blood test, both of which were negative. I am unsure if I am pregnant or if this is just my cycle. What should I do next?

I'm currently 18 weeks pregnant and had my second anatomy ultrasound last week. The technician didn't provide any information, and I need to know if the ultrasound images are normal. My family doctor said the baby is measuring one week ahead but is otherwise normal. I also want to understand the baby's position from the ultrasound images and if there's anything to worry about regarding the baby's size or development.

I am entering menopause, not having a period for 124 days. I started spotting yesterday and have cramping. Is this normal?

I had my period about two weeks ago and have experienced heavy bleeding in the past couple of days, which is not due to start for another 13 days. I took Plan B last Saturday and the bleeding is getting worse. I am 19 years old, not using any medications, and have no chronic conditions. Should I be worried about pregnancy or other serious issues?

I took Plan B and now my period is late. I have taken a pregnancy test and it was negative. I am experiencing high PMS symptoms and stress. Is there anything I can do to speed up the process of getting my period?
