I took a morning after pill a couple of weeks ago and have been bleeding for 9 days now. My period came early after taking the pill and the bleeding has been stable/consistent. What could be causing this prolonged bleeding and what can I do to stop it?

I spoke to you yesterday about an intense headache, which went away by this morning. I saw my OBGYN today for a normal appointment and got a flu shot. Everything was fine until I ate dinner and felt really hot and unwell, then threw up everything I had eaten and continued to throw up until it was stomach acid. Should I be concerned this is due to the flu shot? I suffered from hyperemesis in my last pregnancy but have been okay recently since being prescribed anti-nausea meds.

I finished my prescription for bacterial vaginosis, metronidazole 500 MG, and still have symptoms today. This has never happened to me before and I am wondering what I can do. I’ve had symptoms for over two weeks now. My symptoms have been constant and the metronidazole helped with itching but I still have thick gray discharge. I finished the whole 7-day prescription last night. What should I do next?

I’m not sure if I had a miscarriage but I did bleed a bit. Not sure if it was enough to fill a pad but it was obviously bloodshed. I’m not far along. I had just received my progesterone and Hcg results same day of bleeding. I haven’t had a Pap smear in a couple years. I have epilepsy, rheumatoid arthritis (which I take immunosuppressants) and hypothyroidism. Is the blood shed possibly normal, and can the HCG level and progesterone levels determine how far along I am? Should I still mention this to my OB?

I have missed my period by 6 days, which is very abnormal for me as my period is usually extremely consistent. I took a home pregnancy test, which was negative, but I have had some symptoms like nausea. I have a history of 4 pregnancies, 3 live births, and 1 D&C in 2011. I'm not using any contraceptives and take antidepressants daily. What could be causing this and what should I do?
