I've got a bit of a concern about my period and Plan B. I had my period mid-July, from the 14th to the 18th, and then I had unprotected sex on the 19th. I took the emergency contraception pill on the 22nd. But then, oddly, I got my period again on the 28th, and it only lasted about 4 days. Is this normal? Could this be a side effect of taking Plan B?

-Yes, the bleeding you experienced on July 28 could be a side effect of the Plan B pill. Its common for emergency contraception to cause irregular bleeding or spotting, even if your period comes around the usual time.

I'm feeling something moving around in my stomach for the past two months. I got my periods, but the sensation is still there. Could this be an ectopic pregnancy?
stomach can be unsettling. Given your symptoms and regular periods, an ectopic pregnancy is unlikely. However, it's essential to consult a doctor to rule out any potential issues. _Possible Causes_ 1. _Gas and bloating_: Trapped gas, constipation, or food intolerance can cause discomfort and movement sensations. 2. _Gastrointestinal issues_: Conditions like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), or gastroparesis can cause stomach discomfort. 3. _Hormonal changes_: Fluctuations in estrogen and progesterone levels during your menstrual cycle can cause stomach discomfort. 4. _Other medical conditions_: Certain conditions, such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), stomach ulcers, or pancreatic disorders, can cause similar symptoms. _Next Steps_ 1. _Consult your gynecologist or primary care physician_: Discuss your symptoms and medical history to determine the best course of action. 2. _Get a physical examination_: A thorough examination can help identify potential causes. 3. _Diagnostic tests_: Your doctor may recommend tests, such as: - Ultrasound - Endoscopy - Blood tests - Stool tests

My wife has an 18x17 mm submucous fibroid in the fundus region of her uterus, and it's indenting the endometrium. She's had four miscarriages in a row, all with bleeding between 6 to 12 weeks. Could this fibroid be causing the miscarriages? Would she need surgery to remove it?
A submucous fibroid can cause miscarriages and surgery like hysteroscopic myomectomy may be needed to improve pregnancy chances.
