Hi, I had sex with my boyfriend using a condom, which he checked and confirmed did not break. I had a tiny bit of brown discharge last night, and my period is due in 7 days. I'm scared I might be pregnant. How likely is it, and what should I do?

I had a smear test with a clear result, but my doctor found an infection caused by the Mirena IUD and had to remove it. I was given antibiotics for two weeks. I am 59 years old and had the Mirena for fibroids and heavy periods 3 years ago. Can you explain what the infection is related to the Mirena?

I experienced brown blood for three days before my period, followed by two days of bright red blood and mild cramping. I had a recent gynecological exam with negative results for pregnancy, endometriosis, and other issues. Now, I have a pulling sensation on my right abdominal side and feel heat. I'm concerned about pregnancy and endometriosis, and I'm not using contraceptives. What could be causing these symptoms?

I occasionally have months (3 to 6) without a period. My OBGYN tested my thyroid and hormone levels, which were fine. Is it normal for me to have only a few periods per year, and should I be concerned about this impacting my future fertility?
