I was supposed to get my period on May 8th, but I haven't yet and today I started spotting with cramps. I took a pregnancy test last week that was negative, and I have a doctor's appointment next week.

My clitoris is swollen and painful like a bruise, but no bruising or injury. The pain started 2 days ago and is consistent, dull, and feels like a bruise. I am 37 years old, have no medical conditions, and am not taking any medications. There are no obvious reasons for the swelling or tenderness, and I have not noticed any burns, pain during urination, abdominal pain, increased frequency of urination, changes in urine color or smell, or blood in urine.

I have large clots during my period, heavy bleeding, and mild cramps. My period started on 12/20, and I change my pad every 3 hours. I take Adderall for ADHD and have had irregular periods, sometimes delayed by up to 15 days. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I've been heavily bleeding all day with significant clotting. This is heavier than ever before and just started today. I'm 26 years old, had a miscarriage, and received the Depo-Provera shot three weeks ago. I took Aleve for cramping before the bleeding started. I'm also anemic. Is this an emergency or related to the Depo-Provera shot?
