I went to the doctor's office last month, took a pregnancy test which came out negative, and started birth control pills on the following Sunday. I had my period last month on the 12th, and now I'm waiting for it. My periods are irregular because I used to take Plan B before starting birth control. I get my period on the 12th, 23rd, or 29th of the month. I just finished one packet of the pills, and the last week of the first package had green pills. I started a new pack on Monday the 13th. I would like to know when I will get my period and if I should be concerned about my irregular periods.

I randomly started bleeding and having dull, achy pain in my lower abdomen, just 10 days after my last period. I had a period that lasted 6 days on October 14th. I had sex the night before with my boyfriend, which was quick and caused a small amount of pain. I'm bleeding when I wipe to pee but not enough to be pouring out. I had an ectopic pregnancy last year and lost an ovary during emergency surgery. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I can’t tell if I have a yeast infection or not - my discharge is thicker/clumpy but that’s my only real symptom. I had some itchiness last week, slight pain with intercourse, and a burning sensation when I pee after sex. My last period was from the 17th to the 23rd of January and it’s very regular. I'm 29 years old and my husband and I are each other's only partners.

I am 5 weeks and 4 days pregnant with my second pregnancy, which has been followed by two miscarriages. I had an ultrasound today that showed a gestational sac measuring 1.25 cm and a yolk sac measuring 0.18 cm. I am wondering if these measurements are normal for my stage of pregnancy.

I am 44 years old and have been experiencing spotting for a week before my period, which continues until my period starts and then lessens up and stops. I also have mild spotting during ovulation, vaginal discharge, nausea, stomach upset, and mild cramps. My cycles have been 23 days long, but now I am only not bleeding for one week during a 3 1/2 week time frame. I have been having hot flashes for a while and had two very light periods in July and August. Is this normal, and could it be related to perimenopause or something else?
