I am having severe abdominal cramps in my pelvic region, have been bleeding for about a month, and feel like I might pass out from the pain. I have an implanted birth control device (Nexplanon). Should I go to the emergency room?

I am a 45-year-old female with rheumatoid arthritis. I have symptoms such as weight gain in the breasts and stomach, painful breast bloating, frequent night sweats, abdominal bloating, increased urination, thinning hair, dry skin, and vaginal dryness. I am trying to determine which of these symptoms may be related to perimenopause.

I had an ablation about 5 or 6 years ago and am currently in menopause. I have not had bleeding since my ablation. Recently, I've experienced severe, constant pain on the right side of my abdomen and lower back, along with blood in my urine. What could be causing these symptoms?

I was told by a clinic that I would not be able to take the abortion pill and pass it off as a spontaneous miscarriage to my obgyn and husband. Would my obgyn be able to tell within 24 hours after bleeding starts if I follow up with him?

I am 27 years old with a 7-month-old baby. My last period was on September 6th, and I missed my next period in the first week of October. I took a home pregnancy test which was positive. I then took Cytotec (4 tablets orally and 2 vaginally, followed by 3 tablets orally 3 hours later), which resulted in spotting and bleeding for 5 days. I had a transvaginal ultrasound and found an embryonic sac without a pulse. I am now 6 weeks pregnant. How can I end this pregnancy, and if I decide to continue, will the Cytotec I took affect the baby? Is it teratogenic or can it cause birth defects?
