Can bleeding only for two days affect a woman’s fertility?
Hi doctor
I am 26 years old. My concern is about my periods. Over the last one year, I am having bleeding only for two days on average when compared to three, four and five days in my early age. I request you to please suggest me if this is fine for my age or something is not good for conceiving a baby in future. We have decided to plan baby by next year.

Is spotting for the first time a sign of pregnancy?
Hi doctor,
I am on the pill Lo Loestrin, but I have not been consistently taking it. My last period was on the 25th of last month and my average cycle is around 28 days. My husband and I had unprotected sex on 5th and 6th. I noticed some dark brown discharge on my underwear. When I wiped, it was mixed dark brown and red strands of blood. It has been more than 24 hours and very light when I wipe. I also have been experiencing soreness and light cramps as I would feel in the beginning of my period. However, the discomfort in my abdomen is located on one side and it comes and goes. I have soreness in my legs, lower back and breasts. I also have been experiencing some aching sensation in my vagina. I have also experienced sudden feelings of nausea, but it has not lasted very long. When I began spotting, I was very surprised. I have never spotted between periods before. I am not sure if this is because I have missed taking my pills or if it is implantation bleeding. I have been driving myself crazy by thinking that I could actually be pregnant. The thought of having a baby makes me so excited. But, I do not want to get my hopes up. Please clarify.

Hello doctor,
I am a 33-year-old female and I have been trying to get pregnant for the last nine months. I have irregular periods and sometimes I bleed up to six weeks but the doctors do not know why this happens. I am currently on Tranexamic acid tablets because I have been bleeding for two weeks (brown or pink) but the tablets do not seem to be helping. My AMH levels have increased from 7 to 26 over the last six months but my OEST levels have dropped to 85. I have been off the pill for over two years now.
