If my friend's daughter, a teacher, has a baby in July and can't use her accumulated leave days to get paid, and has to take the summer with no pay, can she use her time in the semester with a doctor's note?

I have a question regarding my period. My periods have been irregular for the last two months, and I recently had light brown and pink spotting. I had unprotected sex on March 14 and took a Plan B pill the same day. I'm worried if this spotting is implantation spotting and if I could be pregnant.

I am having persistent dull, achy pain in my right side that started a few days ago and worsened on a plane. I am 32 years old, recently had a miscarriage, and have a family history of kidney stones. I just ended my period, which was different this time. What could be causing the pain, and should I go to the hospital or see a doctor?

I used a boric acid suppository about 5 days ago and have been experiencing on and off vaginal bleeding since then. The bleeding is not constant but is extremely heavy for 30 minutes to a few hours and then stops for hours, but then comes back. I am on fluoxetine and quetiapine, I am 18 years old, and I just had my period a little less than two weeks ago. What could be causing this bleeding, and what should I do?

I am experiencing irregular periods that started around 3 months ago, consisting of spotting for 5 days, followed by flow for 3-4 days, and then more spotting for 3-4 days each month. This pattern occurs on the same dates each month. I also have increased anxiety and depression from the fertile window until the flow completes. I am 36 years old, not using any contraceptives, and had a baby in 2020 followed by a miscarriage in 2022. My last period started on March 14th and is still ongoing. I have not experienced any recent changes in stress or weight, but anxiety and depression have increased significantly during this time. What could be causing this irregularity and what tests or treatments should I consider?
