I started my period on 10/3 and it hasn't stopped. I started Metronidazole on 10/10, which seemed to slow down the period but it resumed. I have a Paraguard IUD for 1 year 9 months. How can I manage this prolonged period and what should I discuss with my OB/GYN?

2 days after ovulation, I started bleeding with clots. The bleeding has been getting worse. I am 28 years old, trying to conceive, and have high blood pressure. I haven't taken any medications and haven't seen a doctor yet. My nipples are also hurting really bad. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I’m on the fourth month (day 13) of my NuvaRing and started to feel my vagina is much more wet than usual. Is this common? Just afraid this might be a pregnancy symptom. Also, I feel I’m having trouble inserting my NuvaRing very deep. I can very easily feel it when I put my finger in and if I’m not pushing it up on a day to day basis, I feel it starts to come closer to the surface (it has never come off though to be clear!). If the tip of the ring comes out of the vagina could effectiveness be impacted at all? Or as long as the majority of the ring is inside the vagina it is good enough and effectiveness won’t be impacted? I just feel it comes down close to the surface of the vagina at some points in the day. Additionally, because I was afraid of my NuvaRing coming out I pushed it a couple times and forgot to wash my hands. I know that I need to wash my hands to keep away infections but could not washing them and touching the ring impact effectiveness? Thanks.

I have been experiencing light bleeding for 6 days, mostly noticeable when I wipe, with no cramps. My last period started last Thursday and is not heavy. I am 26 years old, not on any medications except for biotin, and have never experienced such symptoms before. How long will I bleed, and what could be the cause?

I have a prescription for the Depo shot but can't make it to my doctor's office until January. I am diabetic and have insulin needles. Can I give myself the Depo shot at home using my insulin needles, or should I go to an urgent care or my doctor's office?

I got my first period since my baby and have been bleeding on and off for 4 weeks, not heavily. I had a c-section and a tubal ligation. Is this normal?
