I have had a longer than normal period with mostly spotting and very dark blood. I am on day 8, not using contraceptives, and have experienced lighter periods since stopping birth control about 5 months ago. I have been told in the past that I have symptoms of PCOS without cysts. Should I be concerned, and what should I do?

Ever since the birth of my first child (8 years ago), I have had issues with bleeding between periods/excessively long periods. I have been told that I have a 'tipped' or 'prolapsed' uterus, though this isn't the cause of my bleeding. I generally start bleeding 10 days after the end of my previous period, which progresses from light spotting to heavy bleeding over time. I have had normal ultrasounds, blood tests, and negative STD tests. I have tried hormonal birth control (Loestrin) for 3 months without improvement. What could be causing this bleeding, and what are the treatment options besides hormonal birth control?

I have hepatitis C and take psych meds. What is the soonest time after exposure to HIV that I can test for it? Will I die if I have both conditions? How can I stay healthy?

I had my period on May 7, but I've been feeling bloated, heartburn, and tender breasts since then. I started bleeding again today. I have hyperthyroidism and I'm currently on BV medicine. Is this normal, and should I be concerned?
