Women's Health - January 2007

Sorry to be gross. I'm seeing my doctor in 3 weeks, but I'd prefer to get some insight so I don't need to get into detail with him.

Last month he just started me on a bunch of hormones (HRT) and thyroid medication. I'm still menstruating monthly. My period supposedly finished a week ago, but I'm getting like (sorry) big brown clots daily. This never happened, but then again, all these hormones are new, too.
In your opinion or experience, does this sound, if not "normal" but at least not unusual?

Of course, I'll bring it up at my next appointment, but it would be nice to know if I'm relatively normal or having a problem. There's no pain or cramps or anything. It's just annoying and not sure if I should be concerned.
Thanks ladies.

At times though it is light blood but mainly brown discharge. I wear a pantliner all day so it looks gross whats now there. Me and my boyfriend said sex and there was just brown stuff all on me and he had chucks on it in his pubic hair. I got done with my last period jan 12 and my period is always regular. Any suggestions.

Ladies... if you have had breast augmentation I would like to know how you feel now. Was it worth it? I have researched on the internet and it seems there are So Many things that can go wrong. It is quite scary.

Look, I'm not an American citizen yet so I don't even have insurance, therefore I can't go to the doctor unless I want to waste hundreds of dollars (it ain't happening). Anyway, can someone help me? I mean, there seem to be a lot of health problems with me but I can never be sure since I don't go to the doctor. I have shortness of breath...ok my dad smokes around me a lot but my shortness of breath is almost ALWAYS there..but almost, not ALL the time, just most of the time. After we take a 1 minute jog in gym class, I get tired really fast and this "burning" feeling in my chest, that when I inhale, it gets "mintier" or I get a "really fresh feeling" in my lungs (don't know if that's the word I'm looking for). My back really hurts sometimes (but maybe that's because I sit straight in the chair for hours using the computer.....12 hours one time), when I move my head like really fast continuously it hurts. I sometimes get these really sharp pains in my head on the same spots.

We had Health class today, the teacher told us not to touch our faces alot 'cause we'll get pimples. I break out horribly on my chin, they are the size of Mt. St. Helens. I hate taking a shower every day so, I take one every 2-4 days (sometimes less). But, my skin is super oilly, what do I do? I only take showers based on my hair's oil.

Being in university, I am really stressed, but this isn't normal as my period usually is regular (although, for the past few months it has been acting quite odd i.e. coming early, coming late). However, the this long, extended, -unwanted- period is very light, and I feel fine otherwise. I am also not sexually active.

I realize I should see a doctor, which I will, but I just want to know what could it possibly be?
