I have a copper IUD implanted since 2016. My period started on April 16th and has not stopped. I am 28 years old and currently taking Cymbalta and Mirapex. My last checkup was in January, and my last Pap smear was in February, both of which were normal. My periods were generally regular, lasting 35-45 days with each period being 7-10 days long. I am experiencing light bleeding, mild cramping, and have been on my period for 17 days now. What could be causing this prolonged period and what should I do?

I just took an at-home pregnancy test and it's positive. I'm not sure when my last period started, but it ended in November. How can I gauge the conception date, and how hard is it to determine the exact day of conception?

I started taking birth control pills two weeks after my last period ended, which was after my ovulation day. What will happen to my next period? Will it come as scheduled or during the placebo week?

Is this herpes on my daughter? She has bumps and a rash that appear and disappear within a few days. She was previously diagnosed with a yeast infection at 11 days old, but it was not swabbed. She also had yeast in her mouth around the same time. She has been exposed to sick contacts and uses different diapers and wipes at her grandmother's house.

I am a breastfeeding mother experiencing persistent soreness in my breasts, possibly due to mastitis or thrush. I was on amoxicillin a week ago for another issue and took diflucan two days ago for thrush. I am 35 years old with a 13-week-old baby and have had clogged ducts in the past. How should I address this issue, and might I need antibiotics if the pain persists?
