I have a vaginal ultrasound scheduled today that I'm terrified for. I had a D&C and Mirena IUD inserted right after about a year ago. Since then, I have been unable to have sex because it is so painful to the vaginal walls. I tried to get the IUD removed but the strings broke, and it was said to be embedded. This experience was so excruciating that I have been terrified to get the ultrasound ever since, due to the pain in the vaginal walls. Is there any way I can ease the pain for my ultrasound today? I need this IUD out as it has caused so many problems physically and mentally.

My period is late and I haven't had it for a month. I'm not using any contraceptives and my last period began on the 15th of March. I'm 18 years old and there's no risk of pregnancy. I've had spotting for 3 days and have missed two periods. What should I do?

I went for a pregnancy ultrasound and they couldn’t find anything. According to my last period, I am 4 weeks 5 days pregnant. I am having cramping near my ovary/tube area and am concerned about an ectopic pregnancy. I don’t have insurance but would like a prescription for blood work or a level ultrasound ASAP. What should I do?

I have Nexplanon birth control and have been bleeding nonstop since I got it. I spot every day and when it’s time for my normal cycles, I bleed at my normal level, but I still spot until my next cycle. Is this a concern?
