I’ve had my period 4 times in under 2 months. I am using condoms for contraception and have no history of irregular periods. My periods are usually very regular and mild, but over the past month they have been extremely heavy, requiring a pad/tampon change every 2-3 hours. I do not have any clots with bleeding and usually do not have cramps. I am not taking any medications and am not overweight. What could be causing this frequent and heavy bleeding, and what should I do?

I am 36 years old and this is my second pregnancy. I had preeclampsia in my first pregnancy, which led to my son being born premature at 34 weeks. I recently found out I am pregnant again, and I was treated with ovulation induction medicines due to PCOS in Pakistan. Now that I am in the USA, it will take some time to schedule an OB/GYN appointment. Do I need to take any urgent medications to avoid problems since I was induced earlier to get pregnant? The doctor in Pakistan prescribed me Duphaston 10 mg and folic acid. Since I can't get any medication in the USA without a prescription, I can ask someone in Pakistan to send me Duphaston in case of urgency. Please let me know if this is something you consider an urgent need.

I am a 27-year-old female who took the morning-after pill two weeks ago and has not experienced any symptoms until today when I started spotting, which is brown in color. My period is due this weekend. What could be the cause of this spotting, and how can I differentiate it from implantation bleeding?

When my baby was 13 months old, I had a 3-day staining that didn't look like a menstrual cycle. It's now 35 days since then, and I haven't gotten my period. I took a pregnancy test and it was negative. Is something wrong with me, and what could be causing this?

What does it mean if my vagina is smelly and I have clear discharge? The discharge has been present for at least two weeks and comes and goes. It has a texture like snot, is consistent, and has no chunks. I am 19 years old, sexually active with one long-term partner, and have no itching or irritation. My last period started on October 23rd and ended on October 29th, and I take birth control pills, choosing to have a period every two months.
