I'm a healthy 26-year-old, married and trying to conceive. I got off Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo in May 2010 and have had somewhat regular periods since then. However, I haven't had a period since October and am about 3 weeks late. I've taken 4 pregnancy tests, all negative. I've been on and off birth control for about 10 years, and before using it, I had semi-irregular periods. I've ruled out PCOS due to lack of typical symptoms, and I'm not under stress, have no eating disorder, and maintain a healthy diet and exercise routine. I sometimes feel period-like cramps and have diarrhea and soft stool, but no bleeding. What could be causing my late period, and what should I do?

I've been experiencing abnormal discharge since moving from Norway to the UK in September. The discharge is thick, whitish, occasionally with a tint of yellow, and odourless. I've tried treatments for thrush and a product to restore normal pH, but they either didn't work or caused bleeding. My gynecologist found nothing wrong and a bacterial test was negative. I'm on the pill and have normal periods. Could it be a specific type of yeast infection or irritation due to different water conditions in the UK?

I have not had a menstrual cycle in a year, am experiencing mood swings, depression, stress, and a lack of sex drive, and have been diagnosed with borderline diabetes and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). My doctor prescribed levothyroxine, but I started having a menstrual cycle after taking Noni. Should I continue with Noni and exercise, inform my primary doctor about the prescription, or take the levothyroxine despite my concerns about its long-term use and potential interaction with Noni?
