I am 34 and have had been pregnant 4 times. Three chirldren and one miscarriage. I had my tubes tied in Oct of 99. My cycle's since then shortened from 28 to 24 days. About 2 times a year I have a late period. My periods have been really wacky the last few months. It started with a period that was 2 weeks late. When I came on it was very light and watery almost. My next period was right on time but very black. The following period was heavy and red and prolonged bleed for almost 2 weeks. This month was a week late and brown, still currently brown and very scanty (into the second day and only see brown tinged with light pink and small clots) harldy nothing on pad. Minus this period I had very severe cramps with these periods. I had to take muscle relaxers to reduce the cramps.

This month I have been very tired Not like me. My husband pointed out to me that sometimes during foreplay I would leak fluid from my right breast. I can express fluid from my breast but only at certain times I think it occurs during ovulation and near my period.

I do take a pregnancy test when I am late, cause I do know that eptopic pregnancy can occur after liagation. All have been negative.

My question is with my nipple discharge does that sound more like a hormonal inbalance or should I pay to see a doctor (I have no insurance) and be checked for cancer.

I also have alot of other symptoms which i will list below and whether it is a new symptom.

I have been tested for thyroid function


tired this is new

moody and weepy this is new very very easy to anger

quesy after eating for a few minutes this is new, threw up a few times a couple of months ago

bloating in upper abdomen, upper sticks out further than lower old symptom

fluid retention sometimes severe makes my nipples puffy, swelling in hands, face and feet had this awhile weight fluctutions, I did gain 10 pounds overnight, and last week lost 4 pounds in one day

sore breast this month have been sore all month

nipple discharge in one breast

symptoms simular to ibs this is new. I can feel my instestines contracting. It almost feels like a baby kicking and have seen this through my shirt.

Should I rush to the er or just wait things out

Thank you in advance and sorry this post was so long.
