I started Microgynon 30 for the first time on the first day of my period 9 days ago, and I'm still on my period! It's been much lighter than normal, but has lasted twice as long. Is this common, and will this be a regular occurence?

Last month she went for a mamagram and when they checked her breasts, they told her they found two tiny white spots. They wanted to put two chips in her breast to show where these spots are and if they prove to be negative, they said they will know when they see the chips that the spots don't mean anything is wrong. My question is why can't they just mark their charts and records that the spots don't mean anything. I would never let them put two chips in my breast. Is this something new? I never heard of it before. I think it's rediculous. Please let me know if you heard of it and if you think it's a good idea, especially if you are a doctor.

I have irregular periods and I never know when I'm about to get them,sometimes I could go for a year without a period but besides it being my periods is there any other reason my boobs are like this?

I have been having a normal pregnancy, but last week was told I had a blood glucose of 158 after my diabetes test. Over the last few days I have noticed a worsening pain in my right upper quadrant, but not all the way to my ribs. The pain feels like something I want to grab and support, and goes from mild toward heavy burning but will begin to ache if I palpitate the area. If I sit down and lean back I can get complete relief, it is only when I get up again that it will start to hurt.
This is my fourth pregnancy and nothing like this has ever happened before, could it be a hernia or something? Is this what liver pain feels like? Am I just worrying about a muscle ache?

Thanks,

DFE

Can anyone tell me how PCOS can affect prolactin. I know that prolactin will affect ovulation so tests are done to ensure that the prolactin isn't causing the symptoms of PCOS and prolactin should be low or normal. But then when I was looking at prolactin it said that it might be an effect of PCOS:

High levels are also seen with:

Anorexia nervosa
Drugs: Estrogen, tricyclic antidepressants, and drugs that block the effect of dopamine (a brain chemical that regulates and inhibits the production of prolactin) such as: tranquilizers, some hypertension drugs, and some drugs that are used to treat gastroesophageal reflux
Hypothalamic diseases
Hypothyroidism
Kidney disease
Nipple stimulation (moderate increase)
Other pituitary tumors and diseases
Polycystic ovary syndrome
Prolactinomas
(from http://www.labtestsonline.org/understanding/analytes/prolactin/test.html)

Is this true and if so why and how?

Thanks!

I am wondering... Currently, I am having a few pregnancy symptoms, such as swollen and sore breast, cramping, feeling feverish, sometimes (my eyes and head) feel so light I think I am going cross eyed-- I work 12 hr shifts and will not be off until Tuesday. My hours are from 6pm to 6:30am, so I want to wait til I can have a reasonable night of sleep, before testing. I am irregular and just had a biopsy and D&C in September. The procedure was to remove CIN2 & CIN3 cells. Before all the symptoms came along I remember a sharp pain that went through my left ovary (lasted barely 2 sec) while sweeping. Have any of you experienced this and opinions are welcomed- Thanks!
