My periods have become shorter but take longer to start after the first one ended. Are there any contraceptives or medications I'm using? What else should the doctor know about my medical history?

I have concerns regarding pregnancy. My last menstrual cycle began on 10/5/21 and lasted until 10/10/21. I am taking birth control and had protected sex this month. Over the past two days, I have been bleeding, which is concerning since I already had my period. I haven't been taking my birth control on time, missing 4 days and then taking all 4 pills when I remembered. I took a pregnancy test, which was negative. Could the bleeding be a sign of pregnancy, or is it possibly a hormone imbalance due to taking the birth control pills all at once?

I had bleeding after using a sexual toy that was very small, bright red, and stopped afterwards. I've had a hysterectomy some years ago. What could be the cause?

I started my period on 10/3 and it hasn't stopped. I started Metronidazole on 10/10, which seemed to slow down the period but it resumed. I have a Paraguard IUD for 1 year 9 months. How can I manage this prolonged period and what should I discuss with my OB/GYN?

2 days after ovulation, I started bleeding with clots. The bleeding has been getting worse. I am 28 years old, trying to conceive, and have high blood pressure. I haven't taken any medications and haven't seen a doctor yet. My nipples are also hurting really bad. What could be causing this and what should I do?
