I was on birth control for 3 weeks and went off due to side effects, but now I'm experiencing heavy bleeding, cramps, and passing large blood clots. I'm 20 years old and have a history of pre-diabetes. Should I go to a doctor or ER?

I am a 53-year-old female experiencing mood swings, anxiety, significant weight gain, and irregular periods. My last period was four months ago, and I do not use contraceptives. I have tried various diets and exercise routines but have not seen results. My sleep pattern has worsened, and I wake up every two hours with racing thoughts. My primary doctor has run tests for blood sugar, cholesterol, and thyroid, all of which came back normal. They refuse to run further tests or prescribe weight loss medications. How can I address these issues, and where can I find a doctor who specializes in these problems?

I have been diagnosed with trichomoniasis numerous times over the past two years and it has not gone away with treatment. I am 42 years old, take blood pressure medication (Amlodipine 10 mg daily and Bystolic 2.5 mg as needed), and vitamin D3 once a week. I have been treated with metronidazole numerous times. My husband at the time was also treated, but we are no longer married and I haven't been sexually active since. What other treatment options are available for me?

My daughter often bleeds lightly, but after eating something like watermelon, she bleeds heavier than before. Is there a connection between her eating and the increased bleeding?

I had sex with guy A on February 13, had my period on February 15, and it lasted about 5 days. On March 11, I took a pregnancy test which was negative. On March 26, I tested positive at a clinic. On April 11, an ultrasound put me at 6 weeks and 6 days, and subsequent ultrasounds put me at 9 weeks 4 days and 13 weeks 1 day. After my period, I was only with guy B. Could I have conceived on February 13, or was it later in March?

I have had BV for months and have tried countless medications without success. I now have a white-green discharge that comes and goes. I also experience some vaginal discomfort. My periods are irregular, and I am not pregnant. What could be causing this persistent issue, and what steps should I take to address it?
