I recently switched from Natazia (Estradiol valerate-dienogest) to the NuvaRing for the first time and inserted it according to my pill pack schedule. I removed it after three weeks, but it's now Friday and I haven't gotten my period. I'm concerned about possible pregnancy. Additionally, I brought my NuvaRing from New York to Costa Rica and stored it at 78F, which is slightly above the recommended maximum storage temperature of 77F. Should I be concerned about the effectiveness of the NuvaRing due to this temperature difference?

It's likely that your delayed period is due to your body adjusting to the new form of birth control,...

I’m 7 weeks pregnant and experiencing cramps and bleeding. The cramps started a few days ago and have been mild but briefly intense today, accompanied by some blood. I have a history of Crohn’s disease, PCOS, interstitial cystitis, and am on medications including Humira, Keppra, Trileptal, Dexilant, Xyzal, and Trazadone. What should I do?

I have a question about light bleeding after menopause. I'm 56 years old and the bleeding started a few days ago, a day or two after sex. I don't see bleeding in my underwear, but on tissue and when I go to the bathroom. I feel abdominal discomfort and some cramping (almost like a period). I take natural hormones. I noticed abdominal discomfort when I was jogging, and then I saw the bleeding. I haven't gone to the doctor yet.

I haven’t had a period in 3 months and keep testing negative with home pregnancy tests and even tested negative with a blood test at the ER. What could be the problem?

I have been bleeding over 250 mls a day for 4 days. Should I go to the ER? I'm on norethindrone and tranexenic acid with no slowing down. I use a menstrual cup- 30 mls every 2-4 hours. Clots about the size of ping pong balls. Cramping so bad I can hardly get out of bed. I have endometriosis, and this is the second time I've had such heavy bleeding.

I am currently ovulating but woke up bleeding this morning. The bleeding was a little bit yesterday but this morning there was a tiny clot and a little blood. I am 34 years old and not taking any medication. I had a miscarriage in June of this year. This is the first time this has happened, and I have very mild cramps. I have been trying to get pregnant and have been monitoring my ovulation closely. This cycle was different with a rapid onset LH spike and it was extremely high. What could be causing this bleeding and should I be concerned?
