I have been experiencing heavy and prolonged periods that have worsened since January, lasting up to three weeks and soaking through clothes within an hour if not changed. I am concerned as my mother died of ovarian cancer and I am experiencing similar early symptoms. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I think I had an ovarian cyst rupture. Should I go to the hospital or will it fix itself? I've had the cyst for years, tracked by ultrasounds, and was told if it got any bigger I would need surgery. After intercourse, I experienced a lot of bleeding followed by pain where the cyst is. I'm not bleeding anymore, just spotting, and the pain is now a dull, persistent 3 out of 10. I'm 30 and pretty sure I have endometriosis. What should I do?

A few days after having sex, I noticed a light pink/grey discharge that looked like tissue and was very small. I then started my cycle four days after that, which is approximately ten days early. I also experienced a lot of cramping a couple of days before I had the discharge, and my period is lighter than normal. Is it possible that I had a miscarriage, or am I just overanalyzing the situation?

I had an abortion on July 6th and am still lightly spotting. I took a couple of pregnancy tests recently that came out positive. I went to a free clinic for an ultrasound and they said I was 4 weeks pregnant, but the timing doesn't add up. I'm worried about the still spotting and possibly not having a viable pregnancy. What could be the issue and what should I do next?
