I think I'm having a miscarriage. I'm bleeding and have blood clots, and I've been cramping for days. I didn't know I was pregnant, but it would have been from the 6th of May. I didn't miss my period this month; I had it at the beginning. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned about a miscarriage?

I recently had blood work done and was found to be extremely anemic with a Hemoglobin level of 6.9g/dL. I have a history of heavy menstrual cycles and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). Additionally, an ultrasound revealed multiple nodules on my thyroid. What could be causing my severe anemia and should I consider immediate treatment such as a blood transfusion?

I had insertive anal intercourse with a condom breakage. I started Truvada within 24 hours as PEP. I later learned that a third drug is typically added to this regimen, but I was not prescribed it. Is a third drug critical for PEP to work, and if so, is it too late to start it now? Or would starting it now still make sense having started Truvada on time? Additionally, I'm experiencing unpleasant GI effects from Truvada, such as persistent diarrhea. Should I consider adding a third drug despite the side effects and the late start?
