I have been on birth control for about 7-8 months and took Plan B once as a precaution. I have been experiencing spotting for the last 2-3 weeks. My last period was the first week of last month. I have never had a pap test and have noticed some brownish discharge and an unusual smell. I have a hormone imbalance that the birth control pills were helping to control. What could be causing the spotting and what should I do about it?

I am on my second month of a new birth control and started my period a week early, with heavier bleeding than usual and clots. Is this normal or could it be a miscarriage?

I had protected sex three days ago and noticed bleeding during intercourse, followed by a yellow/green discharge. The discharge has no odor and is the same texture as normal discharge. My last period started on February 2nd and ended on February 8th, and I am due for my next period in seven days. I have painful periods and suspect I may have endometriosis due to pain during sex in certain areas.

I've had pain and discomfort for 5 months, including back and leg pain, pelvic pain, right lower quadrant pain, and abnormal vaginal bleeding. I've had two pelvic ultrasounds showing a 1.9cm septated complex cyst on my ovary, inhomogenous myometrium, a bulky uterus, and suspected adenomyosis. What could be causing these symptoms and what further tests should I consider?

I recently tested positive for chlamydia and have a bump on my vagina. How long have you dealt with the UTI? Have you experienced this in the past? When was your last pap test or pelvic exam? Any irregular results from past exams? Anything else in your medical history you think the Doctor should know?
