I had my tubes tied in November after my second child. From January to April, I had normal periods, but I am now 14 days late with a negative pregnancy test. I am not using any other contraceptives, and my last period began on April 1st. I had a normal pap test in January. I have experienced a little weight gain, headaches, acne, and clear vaginal discharge with no smell. My periods were always regular before this, and there has been no recent stress in my life. What could be causing my delayed period?

I had a positive pregnancy test result on days 31 and 32. Today is day 32 and I am bleeding. How long have you dealt with the bleeding? Have you experienced this in the past? When was your last pap test, and what were the results? Any swelling, discoloration, or unusual smells? Anything else in your medical history you think the Doctor should know?

I just got prescribed macrobid for a UTI and took the first dose at 2pm. I don’t want to wake up at 2am every day to take the second dose. Can I take it at 7am instead, which is 5 hours past the 12-hour mark, and then consistently take it at 7pm and 7am for the next 5 days? Will this affect the medication's effectiveness?

I’m having excessive bleeding and irregular periods. I’ve noticed shorter intervals between periods, discomfort after using tampons or having sex, and bleeding through tampons and pads within two hours. I have not taken a pregnancy test. I am about to be 21, have a history of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (dermoids), Endometriosis, Seizures, and Psoriasis. What could be causing this and what should I do?

For a 66-year-old family member who has occasional stomach bloating, why is the doctor recommending a colonoscopy? Her last colonoscopy was in 2018. Does this procedure help?
