I started birth control in October with no issues, but this month, I finished my period a couple of weeks ago and have been having a very light period for the past 4-5 days while still on the hormonal pills. I took Plan B on January 3rd and this problem started on January 24th or 25th. I'm supposed to start the sugar pills next Tuesday and shouldn't be having a period now. What could this be and how long could it last?

On 04/24/20, I took a positive pregnancy test. The first day of my last period was 03/20/20, which should put me around 5 weeks 6 days. I had a quantitative hCG blood test performed, and the result was 900, which seems low for my gestational age. Is this normal, and should I be concerned? Should I retest in a day or two to see if the value has doubled?

I drank a glass of wine while pregnant with my daughter who is now 9. She has been diagnosed with autism and ADHD. I feel so terrible because it could have been the alcohol. What is your opinion on the dangers of one glass of wine while pregnant?

I have pink thicker discharge following my period, and I’m also experiencing pain around the vagina and on the clitoris. What could be causing these symptoms and what can I do to alleviate them?

I am in the two-week wait after an IVF egg transfer and had a dental appointment where local anesthesia was used. Am I at risk?

I’m having a much heavier period this month, with blood dripping out at a fast rate and causing me to soak through many pads. I’m also feeling extremely dizzy and weak, with constant dizziness and numbness in my legs. I’m 18 years old, not on any medications, and I recently stopped taking birth control a month ago. My periods have been irregular since I was 12, and I’m currently 53kg. What should I do?
