My mom is in her early 50s and had menopause for only 6 months, then got her period again. Is that concerning or just stress? She is not using any contraceptives or medications, is 52 years old, and has a family history of cancer. She experienced hot flashes, night sweats, and now has light, spotty periods. She also occasionally gets stabbing pains in her ovaries, mostly when stressed.

My baby didn’t show up on an ultrasound, but I just missed my period 4 days ago. Is it too soon? I had a blood test that showed a level of 1800, but I'm still concerned. How soon should I repeat the blood test, and should I go to the hospital for this?

I started my cycle in October and experienced prolonged heavy bleeding for 15 days, requiring a blood transfusion. I have endometriosis and uterine fibroids. I was prescribed Medroxyprogesterone from Nov 6 to Nov 24, and now I'm experiencing light bleeding. What are the chances of severe bleeding recurring, and how long does the bleeding typically last after stopping the medication?

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.
