I was supposed to get my period 4 days ago but it hasn't come. I want to start birth control pills and was told to start on the first day of my period. Since my period is delayed, the doctor said I can start the pill now and skip this period as I will be traveling in 5 days and do not want to have my period then. I took the first pill yesterday. Should I stop taking the pill or continue? Will my period still come since I started the pill just before getting my period?

I had an improperly placed IUD removed one week after an irregular period. Since then, I have experienced light spotting, intermittent bleeding, and symptoms similar to pregnancy such as painfully tender breasts, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and persistent cramping and bloating. I have taken two home pregnancy tests, both of which were negative. What could be causing these symptoms if I'm not pregnant?

My entire mid-section from my navel to my vagina is feeling crampy, similar to period cramps, despite being menopausal for fifteen years. My vaginal area feels burning, and there is a sharp pain in my sides through the pelvic area occasionally. My vagina is always filled with discharge, and it has stretched, causing a lack of sex drive. I have been to various doctors, and all tests are negative. My husband suspects infidelity due to the constant discharge. What could be causing these symptoms, and what should I do?
