Will I have to have Mirena coils for the rest of my life, or would it be sufficient to have it just for the 5 years duration? If I have the Mirena coil fitted this year, I will be almost 56 when it is removed. At that point, is the womb lining likely to thicken again, unless I have another coil fitted?

During a pelvic examination, my OB/GYN suspected I may have a 'twisted uterus' and recommended an ultrasound to check for fibroid tumors. I am concerned that the ultrasound might reveal something unexpected, such as an ovarian mass or tumor. Can the unusual shape of my uterus and/or the masses felt during the examination be due to something other than fibroid tumors?

I woke up with severe lower back pain, went to the restroom and bled, and later bled three clots the size of quarters. I had two extra pregnancy tests that both say positive. I had a miscarriage ten years ago and it felt a lot like today. Can someone please help me?

I am 8 weeks pregnant with twins. Fetus A has a normal gestational sac, but fetus B has an irregular and small gestational sac. Both fetuses have good heart rates. I have had a first-trimester ultrasound and am taking prenatal vitamins. I also have blood pressure issues and am currently on nifedipine. What does the irregular sac indicate, and is there anything that can be done to improve it?

I have PCOS and have experienced multiple miscarriages, some with and some without medication. Should I take metformin even if I'm not insulin resistant, and how can they check for progesterone deficiency and address it?

I am experiencing excessive bleeding with clots, requiring ultra tampons and 2 heavy overnight pads every hour. The blood is bright red. I have not had a regular period in 3 years, with cycles lasting 6 months or longer, sometimes with spotting for a day. I am 47 years old and have had this irregularity before. What could be causing this heavy bleeding, and what should I do?
