My symptoms are in the title of the question and here is my medical history:

I have abnormal hormone levels and Leiden Factor V (a DNA mutation which heightens my risks for blood clots. Due to both of these, I am not qualified to take regular pill birth control, because I’ll most likely get blood clots. Yet, my OB/GYN was concerned about me getting pregnant (I am sexually active) so even though I can’t take pill or common forms of birth control, she inserted Implanon in my arm. Unfortunately, I can never take anything to regulate my period again because the blood clots — my periods are extremely irregular due to my abnormal hormone levels, sometimes I only get them three times a year, I never know when they’re going to start of stop, the length of each one is completely unpredictable — but the Implanon has a 100% rate of preventing pregnancy.

I recently had my period, but the thing is — it lasted about 20 days, I didn’t have it for 2 days, then I got it again for 3 days. This is the longest period I’ve ever had in my life, but I assumed there was no problem seeing how I’ve been irregular to an extreme extent since I first got my period years ago (I’m 18 years old.) My period eventually stopped about 4 days ago, but then I started getting a heavier than usual, white, chunky, sticky discharge. I thought I might have a yeast infection — I had one yeast infection last year. The next day, that discharge became more greenish/yellow in color and changed to more of a normal discharge consistency; It was not frothy, chunky, or overly sticky. I also started experiencing itching only from the inside walls of my labia minora. The color of that skin was a very subtle, light red. Then today the greenish/yellow discharge continued in the morning but by 4pm, it had changed to a watery brown/bloody discharge that actually made a small spot that went through my underwear. I was completely surprised. When I just had the greenish/yellow discharge, I thought it was a bacterial infection, chlamydia, or gonorrhea but was definitely hoping that it was just a yeast infection. No odor was ever present throughout any stage of these problems. But after the discharge changed to a brown/bloody discharge with a watery consistency I’m starting to panic because that’s a symptom of cancer — cervical cancer to be exact. The reason I’m panicking more than another person is, is because my Mom was diagnosed with cervical cancer two years ago. She survived after surgery, but there was an almost guaranteed chance that I would likewise be diagnosed with cervical when I was older — I just did not think it’d be this soon.

What do you think it is?

I have a huge upper body! I have been on a weight loss journey this past year and have (healthily) lost 20kgs and fitter than i have ever been yet my upper body mainly my arms are still huge and flabby. I do pump classes and run as well as yoga each three times a week.every other part of my body is rather toned-except the arms!! what could i be doing wrong and what can i do differently? what excices focus on the upper body?

So i have been working out three times a week and the workouts are never the same. But i am having the hardest time starting a diet to help me loose weight.

I’ve been counting calories (about 1500 a day) and exercising via my treadmill at least 20 minutes, three times a week. This is slowly working, but some other people I know are losing quicker on the low carb diet or Weight Watchers. Should I increase my amount of exercise or maybe switch to a different diet?

I have been on a strict weight loss program. I eat generally healthy and go to the gym 5 to 6 times a week and about three times with a personal trainer.
However, soon I am planning on getting into birth control pills. I have been told that your hormones go crazy with the pills… Would this affect my weight loss? I know it reacts differently with each woman… but what are the possibilities?

Thanks in advance!
