I am 22 years old and experiencing severe lower abdominal pain. I am 9 weeks pregnant and started prenatal care 7 weeks ago. I had an ultrasound that showed a small internal bleed and a detached sac from the placenta. The pain occurred after having sex. What could be causing the pain and should I be careful about having sex during pregnancy?

I am 23 years old and have noticed a different texture inside my vaginal walls, feeling bumpy, for less than a week. I am not using any medications and have no other significant medical history. I have not noticed any mass or discharge, but the texture feels abnormal. I took a vaginal screening test that showed normal acidity. Should I be concerned, and what steps should I take?

I have the Paraguard IUD and have had it for 3 months. I just got off my period about 4 days ago and experience off and on cramps on one side, especially when lying in certain positions. I'm worried my IUD has moved. What should I do?

I’ve noticed that I’ve developed blood clots in my legs when my period starts. I am not using any contraceptives currently, and I have a history of heavy periods and depression. I am 38 years old and have been using nattokinase to manage my clots. I also recently started drinking raspberry leaf tea, which has significantly reduced the heaviness of my periods. What could be causing these blood clots, and how can I rule out serious conditions like cancer?

I just had a partial molar pregnancy and a D&C. My hCG was 38 last week and is now 39.8 this week. My period came on 6/1 to 6/5. Could my period cause that increase in hCG? I thought my hCG would be zero since I just had my period. Additionally, I have fibroids and need birth control but am scared to take anything. What should I do?
