I have Mirena and took Yaz for 3 days to shorten my period, but stopped when my period was ending. Now, I'm bleeding lightly again. Will I get another full 5-7 days of bleeding, and would taking the pill for 3 days then stopping have triggered a second round of bleeding?

I'm 27 weeks pregnant and experiencing pain on the right side of my ribs and back, possibly due to my baby being transverse. Additionally, I'm concerned about the potential risks of a transverse baby and the change in my baby's activity schedule, which now includes more frequent nighttime kicks.

I just found out that I'm possibly almost six weeks pregnant. I had light spotting last week and then darker blood since taking a positive pregnancy test. I'm worried about a possible miscarriage due to cramps and the change in blood color. I'm 27 years old, take thyroid medication, and had been taking birth control until I found out. I don't know the exact dates of my last period but believe it was around mid to late February. I've experienced some stomach pain and vaginal discharge, which has been darker red. What should I do to ensure the health of the pregnancy?

I'm a student at Boston College writing a paper for my abnormal psychology class. I'm working on a case study involving a hypothetical patient diagnosed with Postpartum Psychosis after the birth of her fourth child. The patient was taking Effexor 450mg daily, Wellbutrin 300mg daily, and Haloperidol but stopped all medications during pregnancy and perinatal periods. I'm looking to have some hypothetical questions answered by an OBGYN. Is this something you could help me with?

I stopped taking birth control pills mid-pack and experienced spotting for three days. I had unprotected sex for three nights after stopping the pills. What are the chances of getting pregnant immediately after stopping birth control pills, and what steps can I take to increase the chances of conception?
