My period is suddenly irregular. I've been on combination birth control (Sprintec) for a year now. My last period started July 17 and ended August 13, and it was on and off. My period started again today, 17 days after my last one. I haven't experienced any recent changes in stress or weight. What could be causing this irregularity, and what should I do?

Hi, my period is two days late. I was sexually active in August but used protection and got my period last month. I am at boarding high school, exercise a lot, and have been feeling stressed and overwhelmed. Should I be worried, and what can I do?

I am 49 years old and have missed my period for two months. My breasts are tender during the time I should be having my period, and my back hurts like it does during PMS. I took a pregnancy test yesterday and it was negative. My husband had a vasectomy 18 years ago, but I know of cases where it has still resulted in pregnancy. Could I be pregnant or am I entering menopause?

I had unprotected sex on July 10 and took Plan B. I've done multiple HCG blood tests and home pregnancy tests, all negative except for one faint line on a home test. I've also had two periods since then. Am I possibly pregnant, and should I retest?

I'm 7 weeks pregnant and have dark discharge that's been happening for nearly 2 weeks. Is this normal, and should I reduce my work hours?
