I started taking birth control pills on Monday and had unprotected sex with my partner the following day. My last period was about two weeks ago. I'm concerned about the possibility of pregnancy and my stomach feels hard and painful. Should I be worried, and when should I take a pregnancy test?

Hi, I had sex with my boyfriend using a condom, which he checked and confirmed did not break. I had a tiny bit of brown discharge last night, and my period is due in 7 days. I'm scared I might be pregnant. How likely is it, and what should I do?

I had a smear test with a clear result, but my doctor found an infection caused by the Mirena IUD and had to remove it. I was given antibiotics for two weeks. I am 59 years old and had the Mirena for fibroids and heavy periods 3 years ago. Can you explain what the infection is related to the Mirena?

I experienced brown blood for three days before my period, followed by two days of bright red blood and mild cramping. I had a recent gynecological exam with negative results for pregnancy, endometriosis, and other issues. Now, I have a pulling sensation on my right abdominal side and feel heat. I'm concerned about pregnancy and endometriosis, and I'm not using contraceptives. What could be causing these symptoms?
