My mom is 62 years old and had no period since 2008. She started seeing 1 to 2 brown discharges once a month for the past 3 months, which have been light to yellow. She is not using any contraceptives, has no sexual intercourse, and is only taking diabetes medication (Metformin). She had normal pap smear and other tests in February 2020. What could be causing the discharge, and what tests or treatments should she consider?

I have had 3 miscarriages in the past year and am currently 5 weeks pregnant. My hCG levels are more than doubling, and I had a fetal pole and heartbeat at 6 weeks. However, I am concerned about not having morning sickness and the safety of having sex during this pregnancy. Should I be worried about these factors, and what should I do next?

I started spotting on Saturday and stopped on Tuesday morning, with a light pink flow. I took two pregnancy tests, both of which were negative. My nipples are sore, and I have bouts of nausea. I'm on medication that could cause defects if I'm pregnant, and I can't find anywhere to get a blood test. Are you using any contraceptives? Has the spotting been stable or getting worse? Anything else in your medical history the Doctor should know?

Will Phennoxymethyl Penicillin cure UTIs, and if not, what should be done if a course of Alprim (which was prescribed for an E. coli UTI) does not resolve the symptoms?

I had unprotected sex on January 28th, and since then, I've experienced tender and erect nipples, cramps, backache, and increased appetite. My last period was on January 16th, and my ovulation time was around January 27th to 31st. Could I be pregnant and already experiencing symptoms?
