I’ve been on my period for 2 months now. I’ve been using the contraceptive patch since 2020, following a 3 weeks on, 1 week off schedule. I’m 25 years old, taking asthma medication, and previously took an antidepressant but stopped a month ago. I’m sexually active but haven’t been since my period started. I took a pregnancy test, which was negative. What could be causing this prolonged period, and what should I do?

I have been paranoid for 9 years about possibly having an infection, specifically HIV, despite testing negative 10-11 weeks after exposure in 2013. I have had mild flu-like symptoms this year but no other symptoms. I am concerned about the reliability of my initial negative test and whether all necessary blood tests are performed on newborns if the mother tests negative for HIV. What should I do to alleviate my concerns?

I recently had a positive pregnancy test and experienced nausea, fatigue, and sensitive breasts. However, I noticed a decrease in these symptoms this morning. Is this normal or should I be concerned? I haven't had any spotting or bleeding.

I am on continuous oral birth control to avoid periods due to migraines and severe menstrual symptoms. I recently started bleeding from my vagina, which I haven't experienced in years unless I forgot to take my birth control. I am not pregnant and have been diagnosed with POTS and Primary Sjogrens with extraglandular manifestations. What could be causing the bleeding, and should I be concerned?

I took clarithromycin 500 mg and 2 pills of diflucan while I was 6 weeks pregnant. Is it going to harm the fetus or cause any deformation?
