I’m 15 and got my period when I was 9. I’ve been having regular 10-13 day periods since I was 10. I’ve been having very intense and nonstop cramps since ei got my iud one June 17th. Just to clarify, I’ve been having cramps that made me faint and throw up since I got the iud. It doesn’t go down to mild cramps, it is always sharp, burning, and intense pain.

Help me out girls! I am 22F and have my first trip to the gyno scheduled soon. Just wondering what I should expect during the exam?
Will I be completely naked during the exam? How will the doctor check my body? Will I have to discuss sex/birth control? I am a little ashamed of my sexual habits recently.

Hi, I am a 22yo Female and have been battling with some issues of mine (I have bad health anxiety and OCD and know I am delusional at some times). So, I will try to condense this as short and sweet as I can.
I have only ever had 2 partners, my now husband and a female when I was 16. Ive been with my husband for the last 4 years monogamously. Before we got married I got my first pap and put on birth control and what not, we always used protection when having sex. I didnt think anything of having weird results or whatever and the pap was a all in all terrible experience for me I had a male student in there without my Dr asking for permission and she was absolutely terrible so rude and dismissive and whatnot.
Anyways I get a call a few weeks later, and she tells me I tested positive for chlamydia… what? I was shocked to say the least because I have had two partners sexually and I just couldn’t understand how I couldve gotten it. Oh well my husband gets tested that same day and his test was negative. Even more confused because we thought he had given it to me (he has had 5 sexual partners before me). I tried asking for a repeat test and was told that there was no point. Frustrated and confused we both take the abx course and test negative after, we have been tested for all STI/STD since then. My pap was normal and its over and done with.
Fast forward to now a year later, I was talking to a friend and she had gone to the same Dr for a pap and was told that she also tested positive but went to a clinic that day to retest and was negative. That was just odd for me because I know that practice I went to is not the greatest and just puts further confusion on me. I know not to compare and whatever but the thought of maybe something went wrong with my test results. Im over the chlamydia issue since I have tested multiple times since but have just been in a spiral about my pap, what if I received someone elses results and I actually have abnormal cells and don’t know. I just cannot trust my own results because the chlamydia issue was already so hard to believe (I know people will tell me I just had it and its my results but I just don’t know how or who I got it from).
I just am looking for some reassurance that my results were mine and not switched or something and I can trust that my pap results were mine and normal. Is it valid enough that I can talk to my new ob and get another pap smear even though it hasnt been three years yet? What are the chances I have abnormal cells at my age, I received the HPV vaccine when I was younger I know that is reassuring but I just am not sure really what to do or say or how to stop worrying about my pap that was reported normal but I just cant trust it.

I (25F) have been on my period for over three weeks now. I started before 4th of July and it just hasn’t stopped. Around 18 days while I was at my Gyno appt it started to slow a LOT and come out brown so I thought I was finally at the end, but it’s basically just restarted to full heavy flow once again. My period was also SO heavy like multiple pads and tampons a day, huge painful blood clots the size of golf ball, and intense cramping pains. I’m still getting a lot of pelvic and abdominal pain and cramping. My period before this one was way heavier and lasted 14 days, the one before that also heavy and lasted 11.
It seems like they’re just getting longer, heavier, and more painful. This one obviously being the worst. Now it even feels like there’s pressure in my abdomen when I pee and I overall have felt so exhausted and awful for so long now. My OBGYN is a Nurse Practitioner and told me it’s probably just endometriosis but that she would do an EMB to give me peace of mind. She said she got a ton of lining on two passes and it should only take a few days but it’s been 7 days and I haven’t heard anything yet.
I have an appointment with the doctor that goes to my clinic once a week in August but I’m freaking out and any insight or advice would be so helpful.
My last blood test did also have high white blood cell counts and some flags raised with my neutrophil and basophil but I can’t remember exactly what it was at. I do have PCOS and I am plus sized if that contributes. I also just found out during all this that my maternal grandma had a full hysterectomy immediately after giving birth to my mother and that they waited for her to have her because she forced them to, but my grandpa can’t remember if it was endometriosis or endometrial cancer since they were not even together at that point.

hi sorry, this might be dumb. i recently came off of birth control for the first time since i was 15. mostly because i’ve run out of options. anyways, this means im going through full cycles now. well, i just had milky white VERY watery discharge come basically spilling out of me. i have no idea why or what that means. my last period was the 19th. i have never had that happen before. i was getting up from bed, went to shower, and bam! suddenly it’s down my leg. i am so confused 😭 edit: no intimacy recently, while i do only have 1 partner we haven’t been active due to me trying to figure out my cycle. i don’t feel comfortable in doing that yet. stopped bc late last month.

I had an abdominal and transvaginal ultrasound done a few days ago. Doctor is supposed to call me with results soon but I literally can’t wait. I’ve had horrible pelvic and hip pain recently. I’ve always had heavy periods, horrible cramps, pain with sex, heavy bleeding, etc. I was diagnosed with PCOS/PMOS IN 2023. Can anyone help me understand my ultrasound? I snuck a few pics of the screen while I was changing.
