I am 35 years old and have been prescribed norethindrone 0.35mg to treat heavy periods due to large fibroids and multiple cysts in my ovaries. I have been bleeding for almost a month, including spotting, light, and heavy days, with some blood clots. Is this normal, and should the medication minimize the bleeding and pain?

I am 5 weeks pregnant and have had two HCG blood tests showing levels of 60 and 100. I am worried about my baby's health due to light bleeding and not seeing the sac in an ultrasound. What does this mean for my pregnancy and what should I do next?

I am 32 weeks pregnant and experiencing extremely sore and swollen feet, with no relief. The soreness started about a month ago, and my pregnancy has been otherwise smooth with no morning sickness or complications. I am not taking any medications and exercise daily with my children at home, but haven't done a physical 20-minute walk in a while. I also attempted a self-abortion with cytotec pills around 4-5 months of pregnancy, which was unsuccessful. Today, I noticed a difference in skin color and hardness, almost red-like, and the pain is severe, sometimes shooting up my leg. Should I go to the ER immediately or wait until morning for an appointment?

I'm 38 years old and have been experiencing bleeding like a period, starting two days ago, 13 days after my last period. I'm not on birth control, not pregnant, and my thyroid is normal. I had a transvaginal ultrasound in February 2014 that showed a follicular cyst and two small fibroids. My periods have been regular until recent spotting incidents. I'm concerned about ovarian or endometrial cancer. What could be causing this bleeding and what should I do?
