I had 3 months without a period, followed by incredible pain and heavy bleeding. I am almost 44 and my mother started peri-menopause around 40. What should I do?

My husband and I have been trying to conceive for the last 3 months. This past month, I noticed a slight greenish hue in my discharge, which varies in texture from normal to slightly chunky with a green/blue hue. There was also a fishy odor last week that has since almost disappeared. My last period started on November 5th and ended on November 10th, and it was a few days late. I have no vaginal pain or itching, but I pee often. What could be causing this discharge, and should I take a pregnancy test?

Can anyone explain what the harm would have been by not having a hysterectomy? I was told 'we're looking at surgery' and it was never explained WHY. I get that it was large, but my only symptoms were heavy periods and occasional lower right abdominal pain. I was 56 and premenopausal. I was never told why I needed it or the risk of complications afterwards, such as incontinence, sexual dysfunction, etc.

I start my placebo pills tonight but this morning I had spotting. The spotting has been stable and constant. My last period was from the 27th to the 30th of the previous month. I have experienced stomach cramping but no dizziness or vaginal discharge. I have been taking Junel FE for 2 years and have not missed any pills, taking them consistently before bed. What should I do about the spotting and should I be concerned about pregnancy?

I took a pregnancy test and it said I was not pregnant, but I still have not had my period. I am still spotting here and there but no period. I am 24 years old, do not take any birth control, and have been diagnosed with PCOS. My last menstrual period was on October 6th, and I usually have regular periods at the beginning of the month. What could be causing this and what should I do?
