I'm early in my pregnancy and started bleeding since yesterday. I'm not sure if I'm having a miscarriage or if it could be normal. I don't have heavy flow, more like medium compared to my normal period, and I'm having mild cramps that come and go. Could it be a miscarriage? Additionally, I've been experiencing small clots with the bleeding, and I'm wondering if this is normal. How long is the bleeding supposed to go on for? Should I get an ultrasound or wait for my first appointment? Also, I've noticed some discharge that is mostly clear but sometimes light yellow. Could this be an indication of a possible infection? Before getting pregnant, I would occasionally experience sharp pain on one side during my period, along with heavy bleeding and large clots. Is this normal or a potential problem? Lastly, should I rest during this time or continue with my regular routine?

I'm having weird discharge that started this morning at 4 am. It's brownish with specs of black and clear, with no noticeable odor. I've been on birth control pills (Marlissa) and skipped my cycle for the past two months. I had sex with a condom and maintain good hygiene. Additionally, I've been experiencing symptoms of wanting to pee constantly and a slight burning sensation. What could this be and what should I do?

I've been experiencing severe cramps even though I'm not on my period, and my last period lasted for weeks with a short break before starting again. I frequently get cramps that last from a few minutes to an hour. My periods were regular when I was on birth control (Norethindrone), but they've become irregular recently. I also take muscle relaxers for the cramps. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I recently took a fast test for HIV and have mouth thrush. I am an emigrant in Finland without staying permission. What are my options for HIV treatment, and can I be deported due to an HIV diagnosis? Additionally, what can I do for mouth thrush in the meantime?

I have been experiencing foul vaginal odor for about 3 months, with no other symptoms such as itching, swelling, soreness, or pain/burning sensation during urination. My discharge is normal and clear, except for a white discharge before my period. I have been with one sexual partner in the past 6 years and have not had intercourse for about 2 months. I am 34 years old, on birth control, trazedone, and an albuterol inhaler. I also have growths inside my uterus and cysts on my ovaries that need to be removed, and I have been classified with endometriosis but not yet diagnosed. What could be causing the odor and how can it be treated?
