I switched to the Depo shot in October and received my first dose on October 26th. I missed my period that was due around the time of the shot and started bleeding on November 21st, which is still ongoing. I'm 24, not currently sexually active, and have had inconsistent periods before going on the pill, which regulated my periods. However, I've had severe cramps all month, leading to the switch to the Depo shot. My last period started on November 21st and ended on the 24th, but I've had brown discharge since the 26th and started bleeding again today. My stress levels are slightly elevated due to my job and my dad's health issues, but there have been no changes in weight, diet, or exercise. My last Pap smear was in June/July, and I had STD testing and a pelvic ultrasound when referred to the OBGYN. I'm not allergic to any medications and have no other known medical conditions. What should I do about this prolonged bleeding?

I have a white-yellow, creamy discharge with itchiness, redness, and soreness. I have a history of BV and yeast infections, but my last STD panel was clear, and I've been with the same partner exclusively since then. What could be causing these symptoms, and what treatment options are available?

I've had my period since 6th grade, but for the past year or two, it has become irregular, occurring about 5 or 6 times a year and lasting only 3 days with very light flow. I want to know why this is happening and if there is any possibility of infertility.

I'm experiencing vaginal white discharge that comes and goes, with a cheese-like texture and a slight fishy odor, accompanied by itching and occasional burning during urination. My last period was irregular and lasted only 2 days, whereas my normal cycle is 3 days. I also have stress and irregular periods in the past.

I have an achy body all the time. Could I have fibromyalgia?

I have been experiencing irregular periods with spotting and light pink discharge for the past month. My periods are usually heavy and dark red, but recently, I started bleeding more like a spoonful and light pink. What could be causing this and what should I do?
