So, after finally finding the right gyno (yay) who would actually listen to me and try to figure out what's been going on with my abdominal pain and strange discharge, he decided that the only thing he really could do was a laparoscopy. Surgery is not terrifying to me, especially since it's minimally invasive and statistically pretty safe. It's scheduled for September 19. I will have a pre-op two days before, but I'm young and impatient. So I wanted to ask these questions about medication interaction and was wondering if I should contact the doc about them sooner in order to make sure that I do not need to taper down on the meds. Here are the medications I am on:
Geodon
Zolpiedem (Generic for Ambien)
Buproprion (Generic for Welbutrin)
Prazosin
Naltrexone
Benztropine

I know it may be difficult for a lot of people to answer the question, but for those of you who might know, will these interact badly with my surgery? And if you're not sure, do you know how long interacting medications should be out of my system before a surgery with general anesthetic? And lastly, should I double-check with my gyno to make sure about this before the pre-op?

Thanks for the help VPers! You have been amazing to me!!

On top of my biweekly BV recurrences this summer (some people associate the smell of sunscreen with summer; from now on, for me it's going to be the scent of MetroGel!), my body has decided that it's time for me to have my first-ever pregnancy scare. I say that my body has decided this because I'm missing one important ingredient in the usual pregnancy scare: absolutely no memory of or reason to believe that I ever had sex with a male-bodied person.

But I had everything else: a weirdly short, light period followed by morning nausea, oily skin, heightened sense of smell, altered sense of taste, phantom smells, constant exhaustion, needing to pee every fifteen minutes, no appetite, heartburn, swollen stomach...if my period had been late this month I would've peed on a stick.

But I said if - I started bleeding last night, making it a couple of days early by my math (first time I've ever been glad to see it). It has, however, proven to be unsettlingly weird so far. My pad was covered in dark gray patches mixed in with the usual reddish stuff, INSIDE the absorbent fluff; not sitting on top of it like I would expect if it was tissue rather than liquid. I almost cut it open to see if the texture was any different than the blood. (I didn't, because I was pretty sure that would end in quite a mess.) A couple of hours later, I started feeling the hard cramps that usually mean a clot is coming through. I booked it to the bathroom (if I can avoid having to change a pad by heading a clot off at the pass, I will; those things get more and more expensive!) and let it do its thing, only to see that besides the usual maroon mucus and blood combo, I had passed a long, thin strip of what looked like dried-out flesh.

Being me, I had to get better acquainted with it, so I dabbed off the blood. It was grayish brown in color, maybe an inch long. It broke apart like wet paper, and the insides were bright white in spots, the same grayish-brown in others. I've passed bits of tissue during periods before, but they were always tiny pinkish bits, absolutely nothing like this. I tried Googling to find out what the hell just came out of me, and literally every result for "grayish menstrual blood" (I had no idea how to describe what I found in the pad earlier) or variations on big, oddly-colored pieces of god-knows-what was for a miscarriage.

I'm assuming that's not what's going on here. Either I'm a sexsomniac with really bad luck (and believe me, this is the situation I've convinced myself is the case, but let's leave my mental illness particulars aside for the moment) or I'm miscarrying something conceived without sex, which I'm pretty sure hasn't happened in the last 2,000 years (and that's up for interpretation!) So I'm going to assume that Google is failing me. So I brought it here to the internet's leading group of vagina experts. What the hell is coming out of my body?? (For that matter, I'd love to know why it was acting pregnant all month, but that's something I doubt y'all can tell me!)

 My boyfriend is ftm, and his dick is pretty long, about 7 1/8 inches. So whenever we have sex it hits my cervix, and since I like rough sex sometimes it hits so hard that it hurts afterward, kind of a dull pain under my lower abs. The other day we had sex, took a shower and a nap and decided to have some more sex. We were doing it missionary and his dick was hitting my cervix and it was still a little bit sore from earlier, so I told him it kind of hurt and he freaked out and said he can't have sex with me anymore. I asked him why and he told me that if your partner's dick hits your cervix you can get cancer from it, so he won't have sex with me until we can get the new dick he wants which is a little shorter. That would be fine and dandy except neither of us have any money for that right now, so if he's serious, we might not have sex for months. He could still finger me and go down on me, but it wouldn't be fair to him since he can't get off unless he's fucking me with his dick. So i just want to know if what he says is true, because he's totally convinced that he's going to give me cancer if we keep using his current dick. I asked my friend who's a medic and he said it's not true, but I want to know what you all think <3
