I've had my copper IUD in place for about four months now. During the past four months, I got my period for a little less than a week, about four-five days, with some mild-intense cramping. However, I have had my period for almost two weeks now (11 days), with some days lighter bleeding and some days heavier with some mild cramps. Is everything ok? Is the irregularity normal? Could the IUD be out of place, or is this normal?

I haven’t had a cycle in 4 years or so due to the birth control I’ve been on. Well, yesterday, I started my cycle. Is there something wrong? I would say it is on the lighter side, but there is still a flow today. I haven’t made any recent changes to my birth control method or medication. I switched from pills to the Nexplanon in 2021. My cycles were always very regular prior to birth control, every 28 days exactly. Some lower back pain, but I did have that with my cycles prior. Also, some bloating and fatigue.

I haven't had a period in 6 months until recently. I'm on day 6 and I'm bleeding quite heavily with severe cramping. I'm taking ibuprofen around-the-clock and using a heating pad, but the pain is uncontrollable. What can I do to help myself?

My OB did a bilateral tubal ligation and took 3cm of fimbriated tube. Can that be reversed?

I think I have PMDD. I've been experiencing extreme irritability, depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts for the past two years, and my symptoms are worsening. I'm currently on birth control and thyroid medication, and I'm 35 years old. What should I do, and who should I see for treatment?

I have had two periods a month for the past two months. My period ended a day and a half ago, and I suddenly have pelvic cramps again. I experience cramping every period, usually right before the period and sometimes through the second day. My last period was from the 19th to the 23rd, and it comes regularly during those dates, but now I’ve been having bleeding at the start of the month as well—mostly brown in the beginning and then turns red, lasting roughly 3 days. I am currently using Tylenol for the cramps and am 21 years old. I am sexually active and use condoms. No discharge. I've never gotten two periods before, which is weird that I had two this month and last. I don't usually get cramps after the actual period is over, but now I have them.
