I had my period five days early this month and it lasted for five days instead of the usual three. My breasts have been tender and sore for almost a month, and I feel flutters in my lower left side of my stomach. I've been feeling extremely hungry even after eating a lot, and I've noticed my nipples are darker and have some white discharge. I took a pregnancy test from a dollar store which was negative. Could I be pregnant?

I had a pap smear almost 2 years ago that came back with abnormal cells and a diagnosis of HPV. A colposcopy within a month was negative for HPV. Another pap 5 months ago was also negative for HPV but still showed abnormal cells. I have had the same monogamous partner for almost a year. Recently, while applying medication for a hemorrhoid, I noticed small white bumps near my anus. They don't hurt, itch, or burn. What could these bumps be?

I have been on the birth control pill BeYaz for 8 years and want to stop due to side effects and my partner's plan for a vasectomy. I'm concerned about potential withdrawal symptoms such as insomnia, anxiety, nausea, depression, mood swings, and jitters. How common are these side effects after stopping the pill, and what can I do to minimize them?

I am experiencing a constant urge to urinate, with my bladder feeling very 'tickled' and uncomfortable, and I had a very little bit of blood when I wiped, twice. I am also 6 weeks pregnant. When did this frequent urination start? How has your pregnancy been so far? About how many times have you had to relieve yourself in the last 24 hours? What are all the medications you're currently using, either for this frequent urination or anything else? Anything else in your medical history you think the Doctor should know?
