I am 55 years old, in full menopause, and have a complex cyst on my right ovary that is less than 4cm. My CA-125 level is 100, and I have two fibroids, a simple cyst on the left, and a history of endometriosis. I went to my gynecologist due to post-menopausal bleeding, but I have had no other symptoms. My gynecologist believes it could be an endometrioma. I am scheduled to see a gynecologic oncologist today and am worried about the potential implications.

I woke up with an odd smell in my left armpit, very sore lymph nodes under the same pit, and a sore left arm that has been bothering me for several weeks. Breathing deeply hurts under my arm and toward my chest, and I've experienced lightheadedness when walking in the last few days. I also have low blood pressure and carry salt, which helps.

I'm due to start my period in 6 days. I bled for 1 day, 4 days ago, and have been feeling nauseated, tired, and weak since then, along with cramps. Could I be pregnant? My husband and I are trying to have kids, and we are both about to turn 42.

I am 8-9 days after conception and ovulation. I've been feeling sick to my stomach, very moody, and my cervix is high and soft with some discharge, even though I'm not ovulating. I tested for pregnancy but it's negative. What could be causing these symptoms?

I asked you a medical question a few years ago. I was very confused with your answers back then. I ran across my question and realized that I never paid you for your services. I would like to pay my fee if possible because you answered my questions and I am very sorry for not paying the way I should have. But, now reading your responses, you did clearly answer my questions.

I'm on birth control and I skip the placebo pills to skip my period. I got my period for longer than normal and now have bleeding a little more than spotting and a brown discharge. I've been dealing with this for about 4 days now. I'm also diabetic and have been taking birth control consistently for about 1.5 months. What could be causing this and what should I do?
