I have had three menstrual cycles in the span of about 40-45 days. The first cycle in early/mid-June was extremely painful on the lower right side and lasted a normal 4-5 days. The subsequent cycles in late June and early July lasted longer (6-7 days, followed by 8 days of bleeding) and were characterized by lighter, brown, and clotted blood. I have not had any pain or cramps with these cycles. I am not on any medication or birth control and have never been sexually active. What could be causing these abnormal cycles and what should I do?

How many ultrasounds are typically done in Australia during pregnancy, and is there another one at 30 weeks to check if the baby is breech? If not, how can I get an elective ultrasound and what would it cost?

I haven't had my period in 4 months and when it started today, it's extremely heavy with large blood clots. I'm filling up large pads within an hour. I'm 26 years old, not on any contraceptives or medications, and have a history of irregular periods. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I had the Mirena fitted about 6-8 weeks ago and lost my leaflet. I'm wondering if leg cramps at night, a rash on my back, headaches, and breast tenderness are some of the side effects.

I'm 4 weeks 3 days pregnant and had some light brown spotting yesterday, which turned red today. I don't have any cramps and the spotting is not enough to fill a panty liner. I'm concerned about whether I can still have a healthy pregnancy after this spotting. What could be the cause of the spotting, and should I be worried?
