My girlfriend is on birth control and we use condoms. She's on her last inactive pill and hasn't started her period yet. She's experiencing symptoms like bloating, cramps, and tiredness but no bleeding. Is it possible to not bleed occasionally on birth control, and when would a home pregnancy test be accurate?

My wife is taking buspirone and another anti-anxiety medication. She took two at-home pregnancy tests yesterday and they showed positive. She has been on these medications since July 5th and is about a week late than usual but has had irregular periods in the past. Could the start of these new medications cause a false positive test?

I've been exercising five times a week and eating healthy to lose weight because I am pre-diabetic, but the weight is not coming off. Is it because of my Mirena IUD? My hormones are too unbalanced. I'm also at a high risk for coronary heart disease.

I am a 46-year-old white female taking Monessa birth control pills, which will run out this week. I recently moved from overseas and can't see a doctor until the end of the month. I am married, have two children, and do not want more. I suspect I am perimenopausal due to hot flashes. What other birth control options are recommended for my age, and are long-term implants like Implanon a good option?

I am 42 and seem to be having my period 2 times a month with dark brown spotting that can burn if not promptly changed. Two years ago, I was tested thoroughly and the result was that it sometimes happens to women of my age. I am not satisfied with this answer. What could be the cause and what should I do?
