My period was due to start December 27. I am normally regular with a 30-day cycle. I missed my January period and tested negative for pregnancy. On January 16-18, I had light spotting that was pink to brown when I wiped, and the spotting stopped when I lay down and rested. My pregnancy test is still negative. Could this be implantation bleeding and still have a negative test? If it could be implantation bleeding, when would I expect the test to come up positive?

What is ureaplasma and what should I do if my husband and I have been diagnosed with it? Could this be the reason why I'm not conceiving, and does it affect sperm count?

My 12-year-old daughter often feels the need to urinate but only a drop comes out, with a burning sensation. Recently, she noticed a clear, slimy discharge with no smell. She has had this urine problem since she was 7 and is not sexually active or menstruating. Can you advise or educate?

How can I tell the difference between implantation bleeding and breakthrough bleeding on birth control? I have had brownish discharge in a very small amount for two days now. I very rarely have breakthrough bleeding on my birth control pills. I have been on Minastrin 24 Fe for nearly 9 years. I usually take my pills continuously to avoid periods, but I did decide to have a withdrawal bleed a couple of weeks ago. I was back on active pills for a whole week before having sex. What is going on?
