I am 80 years old and have small cysts on my ovaries. I have had spotting before, but today it was like a period. I have had no pain or bloating. What could be the cause of this bleeding, and what should I do?

I am 5 weeks pregnant and experiencing increased bleeding with pain in my lower stomach. I went to the hospital earlier when the bleeding was light and was told it was normal. Now, the bleeding is heavier and includes chunky blood. Should I go to the hospital again or wait?

I started a new medication called Carbamazepine for Trigeminal Neuralgia. Since starting the medication, I experienced spotting and then a heavier period, which is occurring earlier than expected according to my birth control schedule. I am currently on Sprintec birth control pills. Should I expect my period again in a week and a half, and will this medication affect the effectiveness of my birth control?

I am 18 years old with a history of endometriosis and have had surgery for it last year. I am currently on Nexplanon since February. Last night, my boyfriend ejaculated in me accidentally because the condom broke. I know Nexplanon is one of the most effective birth controls, but I am considering taking Plan B just in case. Is it safe for me to take Plan B with my medical history, and should I take it?

I have been bleeding for almost a month and have been throwing up for the past week, along with right side cramps. I am 21 years old and do not take any regular medications, but occasionally use Advil or ibuprofen. My periods are not regular and usually last a week. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?
