cycle length question

[fairis.livejournal.com]

Should I be worried if my cycle used to be a very regular 28-29 day cycle, but all of the sudden it changed to be a 36 day cycle for the last 3 months? I haven't started or stopped any hormonal birth control. I'm 25 years old. I wanted to start taking BCP this month, but now I'm worried that if I do I won't be able to observe whether my cycle is doing anything worrisome?

UTI?

[muzik-love.livejournal.com]

Okay.  For the last 6 months I've started having a clear, watery, odorless, vaginal discharge during my period.  It's so much that it fills tampons.  I assumed it was possibly an ovarian cyst because about 8 years ago a gyno told me that I had them.  I didn't really believe her because the reason for my trip to the gyno wasn't really gyno related and other than peeing in a cup and talking to her, she didn't do any other sort of examinations.  I've always had really really heavy and extremely painful periods with clotting.   Well in the last week I started also bleeding in between my periods.  It ranges from light pink to bright red and even a clot or two.  It isn't heavy and with the exception of one night where i needed to wear a tampon.  And even then, the tampon was mostly filled with the clear, watery, odorless fluid.  Yesterday I started having dull lower back pain (mostly on my right side).  I don't really have pain anywhere else.  Last night I was just more aware of the presence of my whole pelvic region.  I don't know if that makes sense but I'd hate to call it pain.  Today I wake up and I feel fine.  No pain, no blood, no discharge.  Im thinking it's a UTI.  What are your thoughts?  Google just tells me I'm going to die from cancer.  If you're going to give me the "go to the dr." response (lol) please at least tell me what you think it is and what types of test the Dr would do on me.  I have extreme anxiety about Drs and being touched by strangers so knowing what I'm in for helps relieve that. 

Thanks so much!

HBC interrupted

[nonsense-at-all.livejournal.com]

So, I've been taking HBC (Belara, 21 days + 7 days of interruption) for some months now.
The thing is (quite silly, I know), I lost the purse where I had my pills and I ended up not taking them for 2 days - so yesterday my period came, a bit unexpectedly. The thing is, I was only halfway through the pills, my period was only supposed to come by the end of the month.
What should I do? Just wait 7 days and start a new package? Or start now from where I stopped?
Birth control itself it's not really a problem for me right now, I just don't want my hormones to go all crazy.

I hope this isn't too confusing - but I really don't know what I'm supposed to do right now.

Thanks!!

Sex & Such

[stonemesilly.livejournal.com]

Back story: Went to detox for alcohol issues and then to a halfway house because I had burned all my bridges and didn't have anywhere else to go in 04/2010. I met a guy in AA and decided to move in with him after I "graduated" the house in 10/2010. We had only been together a few weeks but it was clear it was a serious long-term thing for the both of us.

Issue: He feels that I'm very needy, he never gets any time to himself, and that I'm always hanging all over him. I feel so lonely. We might spend time together as in we're both in the same room at the same time but it just doesn't feel like "time" to me if that makes any sense. I tried to tell him this and tells me I'm being dramatic but how can you be dramatic if you're just saying how you feel? I'd love to just lay in bed in each others arms and watch a movie or something. That would just make me feel so good and connected. I know it's not his him thing but it makes me feel rejected that he can't do that for me. I sometimes to freak out when we aren't having as much sex as we use to because I feel like when he wants to have sex with him that that means that he's attracted to me and wants to be with me. I don't know what to do? I want to get my point across without sounding batshit insane because there is something missing. I almost feel starving for attention that I seek it out in inappropriate ways for being in a monogamous relationship and I wouldn't want him to do that to me so I don't want to do that to him. I also want to try to cool down my stange-5 clinger-ness but I don't know how. 

recurring YIs

In the last year I've gotten 4 yeast infections and believe I am getting another one.  I've been eating yogurt with acidopholis in it.  I've always put a lot of garlic in my food.  I know how to get rid of them.  I don't understand why I keep getting them.  And it's very inconvenient.  What is going on with my body?  Anybody?
