I received the copper Paragard IUD in early August. For the past 4 months, I have been bleeding almost constantly, typically bleeding 7-12 days with a 4-12 day break before it starts again.

I've had 7 miscarriages and my last 2 pregnancies were managed with lovenox shots and baby aspirin, but I still miscarried. My OB has done various tests (hormone, chromosone, blood clot, uterus, sugar) which all came back normal. I'm urgently seeking advice on what to do next to have a successful pregnancy.

I had a termination in October and then a miscarriage 6 weeks into a subsequent pregnancy. I have an 18-month-old child and have had two prior terminations without complications. When can I start trying for another baby after the recent miscarriage, which was 4 weeks ago?

I have a UTI. Do I need to go to a doctor for medicine, or can I get it somewhere else since it’s going to be the weekend? My symptoms include frequent urination every 2-3 minutes, intense burning sensation during urination, and no blood in the urine. I am 21 years old and not on any regular medications.
