What could be happening when my period is getting shorter and I have regular on/off abdominal cramps? My period is usually heavy for the first 3 days and lasts 5 to 6 days, but this time it was heavy for 2 days and then became lighter on the 3rd day. I am 21 years old and taking Naprogestic for period pain. I haven't had a pap smear before and I'm not on any birth control. Is pregnancy possible in this case, as I have had unprotected intercourse with my partner?

I'm 7 days late for my period, have taken about 10 negative pregnancy tests, and am on birth control (Norethindrone) but missed one pill. I had light spotting for 3 days after sex and then it stopped. What could be causing my missed period?

I had a yeast infection last week and was prescribed fluconazole on Friday the 16th, which I took as instructed. I had a fever all last week and the sores from the yeast infection just started feeling better today. However, I've been experiencing bad headaches, a higher resting heart rate, and intermittent fevers. I'm unsure if these symptoms are related to the yeast infection or if there might be another issue. Do I need to be concerned about these new symptoms, and should I seek further medical attention?

I am in my 38th week of pregnancy and my baby is moving a lot. Is it a sign of labor, and am I also feeling pressure sometimes?

I have been experiencing stomach bleeds for the past 4 days, unable to keep anything down, including water. My stomach is swollen, and my urine is almost red. I have been given IV fluids and medications at the hospital, but the symptoms have returned. My back is tender, and I am currently taking Ondansetron, Famotidine, Lansoprazole, and Tylenol. I am 33 years old and do not drink alcohol. My stomach looks swollen, and my bowel movements appear black. What could be causing these symptoms, and what should I do?

I missed my birth control pill on Monday and doubled up on Tuesday, then had sex from Wednesday to Friday. I missed another pill on Saturday and doubled up on Sunday. I induced my period, but it's much lighter than usual. Could this be implantation bleeding, and what are the implications of doubling up on my pills?
