Hi Dr. I started taking Premarin during my period to try and prevent a dip in hormones because I get migraines every month. I currently have a migraine. Do you think the pill could cause migraines too? Is there anything else you recommend? Thank you.

I've had my period for almost three weeks, with some days being heavy and others light, and there is clotting. I am not using contraceptives, my last period began on June 15th, and I am on prescriptions for anxiety, depression, allergies, and blood pressure. I have been under stress. What could be causing this prolonged and irregular bleeding, and what should I do about it?

I am considering a partial hysterectomy due to severe periods, anemia, and two 5cm fibroids. My doctor recommended an ablation, but my surgeon insists on tying my tubes or my husband's vasectomy before proceeding. I'm hesitant about the hysterectomy. What other options or recommendations do you have?

If my Mirena IUD is 6 years old, should I be worried about a pregnancy? Also, is it normal to experience soreness in the ovaries after unprotected sex, and does the IUD cause this type of soreness as a method of preventing pregnancy?
