I missed one pill during the second week of my active pills, doubled up the next day, and experienced bleeding for a week. I missed another pill the next week, and the bleeding has persisted for about two weeks, varying in color from dark brownish to bright red. Should I stop taking my birth control pills to let myself bleed without the hormones, or should I continue taking them as normal?

I had an abortion 5 weeks ago and experienced bleeding for a week, followed by a normal pap and HPV test last year. I am now experiencing a whitish/yellow discharge that looks like a booger, here and there, and have not yet gotten my period. I had hormone and thyroid bloodwork done recently but not a full CBC. Do I need a CBC now to ensure everything is okay?

I think I have endometriosis. I am 30 years old and experience severe pain during ovulation that sometimes prevents me from walking, constant indigestion, and painful periods. Additionally, sex is painful. My last Pap test was about 4 years ago with normal results, and a vaginal ultrasound at that time showed my right ovary was larger than the left. My family has a history of endometriosis, cysts, fibroids, and polyps, with some having hysterectomies. My dad has had colorectal cancer. What should I do?

My daughter, who is 17 and has been on Tri-Linyah birth control for about two and a half years, recently experienced a two-week long heavy period, followed by a break and then another heavy period about a week later. This is the first time she has had this irregular pattern. She is under significant stress due to her senior year activities and has not missed any pills. Is this normal, and what should we do?

I have been spotting for 6 days, tested positive for pregnancy, and have an HCG level of 75. Is it normal to still be spotting, and what could be the cause of my symptoms?

I have always been irregular with heavy periods. On March 27th, I had unprotected sex, and on March 29th, I got my heavy flow period, which lasted until April 10th. I took a pregnancy test on May 7th and found out I am pregnant. Is it possible I got pregnant during that time?
