My period is 5 days late, I had it on August 13, and my usual cycle is 32 days. I had sex on May 16, and my blood work showed high white blood cells. I also had sore breasts for a few weeks, gained some weight, and have been experiencing back pain and random bruises. Is there any way I could be pregnant, and what could be causing these symptoms?

I am pregnant but unsure of how far along I am due to issues with my Nuvaring. My last period was on March 21, but I missed my period in April and May. I had two ultrasounds, one showing 6 weeks 6 days and the other 7 weeks 2 days, both without a fetal pole or heartbeat. My gestational sac is near the top of my uterus. I am bleeding bright red but only when I use the restroom and not at night. What are the chances I will miscarry, should I wait it out, and is it safe to wait versus having a D&C? Can miscarriage occur over several days with minimal bleeding, and is it important to check HCG levels in this situation?

I just had my period 2 weeks ago and got it again. Is that normal? I'm not using any contraceptives, my last period began on January 14th, and I'm taking synthroid, Lisiniprol, enbrel, and semaglutide. I'm 40 years old and have been very stressed this week. I've also lost weight over the last 4 months. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I’ve been experiencing longer cycles between my periods, making it hard to predict. I am not using any contraceptives or medications, I am 24 years old, and I have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS). My last three cycles were 30 days, 33 days, and 34 days. I am sexually active but not trying to conceive, and I have some acne but no weight gain, hair loss, or increased hair. I am stressed about my irregular cycles and have had pregnancy scares. I also experience intense cramps and other premenstrual symptoms but no bleeding initially.

I just started taking Yaz birth control pills again after being off for a year and a half. I have been experiencing constant brown discharge for two weeks after my period. The discharge does not have an odor and is clotted like blood. My last period started on 12/24 and ended after 5-6 days. I started taking Yaz 18 days ago and take it regularly before bed. I feel generally tired and a bit more out of breath recently. I do not have severe lower abdomen cramps, but I feel a little pain in my vagina similar to when I’m bleeding during a period. What could be causing this discharge, and what should I do to stop it?

I took two home pregnancy tests that confirmed pregnancy, but I have an IUD that could not be removed. I've had faint pains, somewhat like menstrual cramps and back pain, and I've only passed a somewhat sticky, clear film-like substance in my urine with no blood. What should I do?
