I'm 16 weeks pregnant and concerned that I might have mistaken my LMP for implantation bleeding instead of a normal period. Could this affect my pregnancy timeline, and if so, how does it impact the determination of when I conceived?

I am a 32-year-old woman experiencing frequent and foul-smelling intestinal gas despite dietary adjustments. I had an IUD implanted in 2017 after my third child, and my last pap test in 2017 showed no abnormalities. What can I do to reduce gas production, and could the IUD be affecting my sexual life?

I've been on birth control for years and my periods are usually regular. I'm currently 7 days late and just took a pregnancy test, which came back negative. I don't feel pregnant. Should I start my new birth control pack, and will it have any negative effects on an embryo if I am pregnant?

I feel like I ovulated later in my cycle and my period only lasted 3 days, which is shorter than my usual 5 to 7 days. Now, I have sticky discharge and feel nauseous. I also had unprotected sex and there’s a chance I could be pregnant. The sticky discharge is not normal for me right after my period. What could be causing this and should I take a pregnancy test?

I just started a new birth control pill (Tri Lo Sprintec) and this is my first use of birth control. It’s been about two weeks on it. I waited 7 days before being sexually active again. After 8 days, we began having sex again using the pull-out method in addition to the pill. A few days ago, we had sex and my boyfriend was slightly late pulling out, possibly resulting in some semen inside me. Since then, I have been experiencing nausea, weakness, and stomach cramps, especially in the latter half of the day. I have also been inconsistent with my pill timing for the past 4 days, which may be causing spotting. Should I be overly worried about pregnancy?
