Diarrhea pregnancy brown discharge

Bleeding for over 3 weeks
I started spotting around April 20th, had a colposcopy( for hpv not 16/18 strain) and ECC with no biopsy on the 24th and got the gardasil hpv first shot on the same day. I've been bleeding since. I goes from light to heavy with lumps and sticky discharge, red to brown. This is happening back and forth. I reached out to my gyno's clinic and the only appointment available was for mid June( which is a month away). I am so defeated. I don't know what to do and what's wrong with me. I am so scared right now.

My poor little boobies have been through some serious abuse and I've been told that once I'm all the way finished for awhile and the skin has time to shrink back that they do go back to looking at least a little closer to the original.
I have no idea though if my nipples will ever be ok again. I have 3 babies and decided that allowing them to self wean would be the best choice for us, so my oldest weaned shortly after his fifth birthday, my middle was done around his second birthday, and now I'm 9 months into nursing my baby with no idea how long she'll go. I had 8 months breastfeeding through pregnancy and then 2 years tandem. I actually sat down with a calendar and in the past 8 years, I have only spent a little under 22 non consecutive months neither pregnant or breastfeeding.
My oldest was a twiddler from hell, so I knew from the beginning to not even let the others start, but the 2 youngest are such horrible biters. My nipples now are like too long if that makes sense? They stretch way far away from my actual breast like freaking gumby and the dark brown of pregnancy has faded, but they're still darker than before kids. They look like they literally have calluses on them.
Do they shrink back down to normal size, return to their natural color, and maybe the calluses fade away? I'm having a hard time picturing like physiologically how a nipple would even be able to go back to normal. Did anyone else go back? Did the rebound seem to correlate in any way to the duration and severity of how they were treated?
I'm grateful I've been able to provide this for my babies and I don't regret doing what I believed to be the best thing at the time, but honestly in retrospect, I'm not sure if I would do the same thing again. I'm trying to focus on the benefits for them, but when I look at them (my boobs, not my kids) I just think of how much of a mental, physical, and emotional toll this has taken on me over the years and I get so sad by how ugly they've become. Please tell me there's hope eventually 😭

2nd Time with gestational diabetes. Got diagnosed at 17 weeks, and I'm currently 29 weeks. I will say, this go around I'm doing so much better controlling my sugars. Diet and metformin at night. I'm on antidepressants and such, but today I just...idk. I don't feel like myself. Yes I indulge in the occasional treat, but I've been monitoring what I eat so religiously, I just feel down. My OB wants me to eat a lil extra protien and such and I'm just tired. If I wasn't at the point of pregnancy where I'm hungry all the dang time I'd probably barely eat. I love cheese, but dang it, I'm tired of it. And nuts, and peanut butter. And whole grain everything. And brown rice. F brown rice. I'm just really beating myself up today.

so i recently quit my birth control. like two days after quitting i got a period. it lasted like maybe four days. the last two days it was just brown discharge pretty much. and now i assume i’m ovulating because i am having an insane amount of cervical mucus/discharge. it’s just like snot everywhere all the time lol sorry for the tmi. is this all normal? could i be like crazy ovulating because i haven’t in so long??

i’ve been off my pill for about 2 weeks. i got a period two days after stopping and it lasted like four days ish. the last two days were pretty much just brown discharge. now i assume i’m ovulating. i was only on the pill for like a year and a half but i am having some CRAZY ovulation discharge. like tons of mucus is this all normal?? it’s crazy

"Good evening, tributes, and welcome back to the stories of Panem. Before we begin, I would like to thank Christian Blanco, the original writer of "Tales of the Hunger Games," and Lauren from "Panem Reborn." Now, since I don't have too much else to say, let's go!

A plethora of excitement crossed the capital over the past year, especially their beloved commentator Camilia Ravenstil's pregnancy, which resulted in her giving birth to twins named Amelia and Cyrus, to honor the past two Game Makers. Even Winnow's victory was still in high popularity.
As the reapings rolled around on July 4th, many of the capital citizens flew to their TVs and viewing parties. Winnow made her journey from district to district with her mother and entourage from the capital. When she landed in District 4 on the late morning of the third day of the reapings, she was greeted by Mayor Chigwell. After a rather long tour of the district's harbors and jewelry stores, they stopped at a nearby seaside diner for a brief lunch. Viewers in Snow Square laughed at Winnow's face of pure boredom as Mayor Chigwell ranted about the latest trends in the district's fashion. Winnow's face soon turned to relief as the mayor brought her back to the district's reaping square.
After a little bit of time, the light blue-catered youths were walked into the square by rather impatient Peacekeepers. Mayor Chigwell finished up his speech before welcoming Winnow to the stage. She gave out a rather tired smile at the district's population before talking about the joys of being a victor. She then asked if any of the girls wanted to volunteer. After hearing no response, she then took out the name of 17-year-old Brook Branachok.
Brook was found in the back of the 17-year-old section. Her platinum blonde hair made her quite noticeable to viewers in Snow Square. She sighed dramatically before flipping her blonde hair back in a dramatic manner as her piercing blue eyes even made some of her nearby peers shudder in fear as Brook arrived at the stage and shook Winnow's hand. "She was later described as a 'rich high school bully' by commentators. The girls in a mood," Winnow laughed before shaking Brook’s hand before walking to the male reaping bowl. After a brief silence, she thrusted her hand elbow-deep before taking out the name of 17-year-old Harbor Zanders. A brief pause soon followed by a discussion as a boy with dark brown curly hair with a smattering of light brown freckles on his face gave a guilt-ridden smile before walking up to the stage. However, as a group of teens his age giggled, Harbor turned back and glared at the giggling boys as they suddenly grew quiet. Harbor soon took out a flask of wine. Capital citizens laughed as Harbor found one of his friends and tossed it to him before walking back up to the stage. Back in the capital, both Camilia and Silca and even most of the audience had been surprised at the pair's striking attitudes.
Harbor then shook Brook and Winnow’s hand before they were announced as this year's tributes for District 4 before moderate applause followed. Winnow soon brought the two tributes to the drawing room before she made her journey to District 3 with her entourage.
Brook was visited by her mother, father, and four younger sisters clinging dearly onto their sister. After successfully removing her sobbing siblings, Brook’s mother calmed her daughter down as her father, Coral, gave the best advice he could offer. Peacekeepers soon came in to bring Brook to the waiting dock. She waved and said she’d "At least try to win."
As for Harbor, he was visited by his mother, father, and his younger and older brothers. As his siblings were saddened as well as his parents, Harbor embraced them all in a tight hug. Before he was needed at the dock, his girlfriend Melanie even joined in this hug causing Harbor to show some emotion.
After a few more minutes, peacekeepers soon brought Harbor out of the room to join Brook at the dock as the pair boarded the jet boat to the capital.
"Man, you've been through the ringer, haven't you?"
"Same goes to you, girl. Haven't seen you in a year."
The pair soon chatted with each other about their experiences at the academy and gossiping about old friends. Brook, in particular, laughed hysterically when Harbor mentioned how his ex-girlfriend got karma returned to her when she crashed a birthday party at Harbor’s dad's bar, resulting in the peacekeepers putting her in the district's jail for a month.
However, as the pair tried to dine upon the food provided, the boat hit a bump resulting in Brook, Harbor, four avoxes, the dining table, and nine peacekeepers to go flying up into the sky. Thankfully, no harm came between the fifteen as the peacekeepers then helped the two back up as a new lunch buffet was arrived. And so did their mentor, Sienna Shoreville, victor of the 105th Hunger Games, arrived in.
"I don't want you two to ally with the 2s, maybe the 1s, depends on how they are."
Brook looked curiously at Sienna before saying, "Didn't Anamaria get her neck snapped by the girl a year prior?"
Sienna groaned in annoyance at remembering this cringeworthy death before walking to the bar carriage before inviting the two to join. As Sienna asked the pair about their lives, she laughed while listening to Harbor telling some stories of working at his dad's bar and the customers who would frequent the place. However, when Sienna asked Brook about her life and possible skills, Brook sighed before saying, "I guess looking pretty’s a skill."
Sienna laughed before replying, "For getting sponsors, yes, but not when you're in a fight to the death."
As this reality check wiped the smile from Brook’s face, she and Harbor finished up their meals before listening more to Sienna’s lecture about the games. And as an act to see if her tributes were actually paying attention, she quizzed them on the dos and don'ts in the capital. As Harbor passed this quiz, Sienna laughed before allowing him some "Capital Goodies." However, as Brook blatantly failed the quiz, she laughed and called Harbor a "suck-up" before walking to her room.
Sienna looked at Harbor for a second before saying, "I guess she’s either related to the mayor or is a spoiled rotten brat."
"She usually brags about her rich family members, always thinks she's better than everyone."
"And trust me, the girl ain't pretty."
Sienna and Snow Square laughed as she then patted him on the back before""telling him to get a 'nap' in before they were to arrive in the capital."
He nodded before Brook returned. It is unknown what the two girls talked about for the remainder of the trip, but our historians have noted that Brook’s scowl from before had dissolved for the time being. As evening rolled around, the pair from District 4's boat landed at Mcaine dock as an excited crowd of capital citizens swarmed the pair from 4 and their very popular mentor, who had been giving out her new jewelry to some of her lucky fans.
Brook and Harbor performed rather well, with the capital citizens enjoying their "feisty sailor attitudes." Even some reporters from Golden 24 put up a most popular tribute poll with Harbor and Brook being in the top 3, narrowly beating Fifi from District 6.
Sienna then thanked the capital for their time before taking her tributes to the limousine. Once it arrived at the accommodation tower, they arrived at the 4th floor. After arriving, Sienna called their stylist, Orivile Cartwright.
Orivile embraced Sienna before showing his tributes his pre-made outfits, which were Sailor themed, which made Brook and Harbor smile. Due to them having a fair amount of time left, Sienna displayed the post-reaping commentaries before turning on the commentary for District 1 as Orivile worked away at the pairs' outfits.
Mayor Cassino greeted a very exhausted Winnow Fraiser. Also accompanying the mayor was Realm Jones, victor of the 101st Hunger Games, and Quintin Mahoney, victor of the 108th Hunger Games, joined Winnow on the initial tour. Winnow appeared to be star-struck sitting between both iconic victors. She even turned around to Quintin saying, "I can't believe I get to meet a legend like you."
Quintin laughed before giving Winnow some comic relief during the tour, telling her about his games and even asking a few questions about her own games. At the conclusion of the tour, Realm's eyes lit up in delight as he saw his own capital mentor, Narcissa Valentions, warmly embracing her mentee.
"So what're you doing here?"
"I had some time off. I figured I'd come by and see how you've been doing. Business at my shop has been bustling as ever, so I figured I’d take a break to see my first victor."
As Realm and Narcissa soon walked over to the talent demonstrations together, Quintin laughed as Mayor Cassino welcomed the scarlet youths. Winnow was then brought up to the stage. She asked if any of the youths wanted to volunteer, becoming surprised when 10 ladies and 8 gentlemen volunteered for the role of tribute for District 1. Silca joked with Camilia, saying, "It's normal for them, isn't it?"
With the ladies' many remarkable weapon displays and archery displays, 18-year-old Jacqueline Faywether had been announced as the final volunteer to try her luck. She smiled at many nearby cameras as even one enthralled boy in the audience fainted seeing the rather extractive career girl.
She shot 10 arrows blindfolded and threw 8 knives in the letter J form, causing even more ripples of laughter sounded in the square. The mayor announced the two passing tributes. As for the two tributes, Jacqueline’s only remaining opponent, Jewel, had almost won the title of female tribute but had a stroke leading to Jacqueline to win the title of female tributes.
As for the guys, 18-year-old Facet Elixithorn had made himself a crowd and capital favorite by his spear-throwing display and to ending in a handstand with wild applause following. Three guys made it to the debate round with Realm this time asking the questions. With poise and dignity, Lance’s strong mind and less nerves had won him the title of male tribute for District 1.
After the pair were bathed and stylized, they were then brought out to the square as they then shook Winnow’s hand before she announced Jacqueline and Facet were announced as the tributes for District 1.
And after a brief meeting with their families and friends with not too much emotion, Jacqueline and Facet were then brought to the train as the train began their journey to the capital.
Narcissa, Realm, and Quintin then greeted their tributes with Jacqueline and Facet being surprised seeing their district's first victor’s mentor. Quintin soon brought the four to the table having a brief dinner with Narcissa asking the two if they had any skills besides their ‘weapons of choice.’ Quintin was pleased to hear of Jacqueline's diverse skills of weaponry before bragging to her district partner about her achievements at the Kobayashi self-defense center. However, instead of being jealous, Facet asked his district partner about her accomplishments.
Realm and Quintin were pleased with their tributes getting along with each other before showing the past reapings in the districts. Facet and Jacqueline laughed hysterically at the District 2 reaping games even Narcissa let out a smile. Quintin then asked the pair if there had been “Other commendable allies besides the non-dazzling loonies from 2 besides Jade and Hermina, they are dazzling.” Realm also chimed in adding that they should “Look for others.”
However, as Jacqueline was going to ask why Realm shushed her and said, “The career pack has their on and off years.” Jacqueline nodded before Quintin continued talking to the pair about the past reapings. Facet and Jacqueline even suggested the girl from 3 and the pair from 4 as potential allies. Realm appeared to consider this before Quintin added in that “He would see what he could do.”
As the pair nodded, the pair from 1’s train arrived in the outskirts of the capital. Narcissa soon styled the pair up, quietly complaining to Realm of how Jacqueline's red hair and Facet's long blonde curls were impossible to tame. The train then arrived in the capital with the usual excited capital crowd marveling scarlet couture. Jacqueline and Facet were both outstanding hits with the capital citizens maintaining proper etiquette. However, two capital lights had to be removed from the audience after heckling Facet about his district partner. Narcissa then wished Jacqueline and Facet luck before kissing Realm and Quintin on the cheek. Realm and Quintin then thanked the capital citizens for their time before bringing the pair from 1 to the limousine as it brought them to their accommodation tower.
Once they arrived at their accommodation tower apartment, they were greeted by their stylist, Aurelia Heavensbee. She smiled at the four of them before whisking them to the dining table showing them her designs for the parade. Jacqueline in particular was marveling at her long ruby dress as Facet jokingly told Jacqueline that they looked like a “walking jewel.” However, Aurelia frowned as Realm glared at Facet as the smile was wiped from his face. The pair then groaned in annoyance at their stylist's bland outfits.
Before the pair were then brought to the parade moments later, Facet and Jacqueline were immediately approached by Malona and Crane, both from 2 introducing themselves. However, Facet cut the pair off from further words, saying, “the career pack is gonna be different this year.” As Malona protested, Jacqueline said, ‘thanks but no thanks.” Both Jade Heath and Herminia Gold looked at the District 1 mentors in bewilderment as they also reciprocated. However, the pair from 1 then came over to the pair from 4 chatting with their mentor.
“Darling, you look stunning.”
“Oh, thank you, you dazzling ruby.”
Brook and Jacqueline seemed to obtain an instant connection. As Facet complemented Harbor’s outfit. Harbor smiled good-naturedly back before chatting away with him about lives in their districts. Facet soon asked the pair if they would be interested in an alliance in the arena; however, Sienna leaned in this conversation asking “Where are the 2s?”
Jacqueline then replied that they were “trying something new this year” before pointing at the pair making fun of Mateo from 10’s cow-themed parade outfit. Sienna shrugged as Brook and Harbor warmly accepted the offer as Facet and Jacqueline smiled saying “splendid see you soon.” When the pair from 1 got back, Realm popped up asking “You with the 4s this year.” As the pair nodded, Realm smiled and nodded with Quintin and Aurelia doing their touch-ups to their tributes' outfits. Sienna commended the pair for “making friends already,” she still urged caution before re-adding in “The 2 mentors there are my ride or dies but still keep your eyes on them if needed.”
The pair then nodded as the parade then began. Regal applause and cheers sounded for the pair from 1, but Nico Anderson lead editor of Anderson Fashion applauded for their strong impression but said the dress was “So Basic.” The pair from 4 were given a large amount of applause as Harbor and Brook waved at the audience even performing an old dance known as a “Jig”. The pair were also given a boatload of flowers and chocolate resulting in both Brook and Harbor sneezing uncontrollably at the end of the parade during President Mcaine's speech. Best dressed was ultimately awarded to the pair from 4 with their sailor-themed couture.
When the pair from 1 arrived back in their district apartment, they were glaring daggers from afar at Aurelia,
“How did it go.”
“How did it feel getting harshly criticized on live TV.”
Quintin shot Jacqueline a disapproving look as Realm asked if there other worthy allies. Both mentors were pleased hearing their success with the pair from 4 before Realm reassured them that they still looked “dazzling” before sending his tributes to bed. However, with the pair from 4, Sienna warmly embraced the two of her tributes on a best-dressed win. As Orville also joined in the group hug has the 4 of them partied till around 11:30 pm until Sienna sent her tributes to bed as she and Orville stayed up a while longer.
Bright and early the following morning, the mentors ushered their tributes to the training center with a very frustrated Apollo Price. Unfortunately, during his speech about the rules of the training center, he tasered Mateo from 10 after he tried to make a break for the door after Price’s speech concluded. Mateo’s mentor Bianca Jr Ramon rolled her eyes before dropping her mentee at the knife station.
The newly made career alliance between the District 1 and 4 tributes conquered most of the training stations with Facet and Harbor bonding over dropping and throwing large weights causing Fifi from 6 to wet herself earning a smirk from the boys. When Mateo awoke from his unconscious slumber, he immediately ran to Mateo asking him to spare. Since Mateo was no older than 14 and he was the youngest tribute the careers laughed before Facet told him to “Buzz off”. However, as Mateo continued to pester the career boys, Harbor gave Facet a knowing look before accepting Mateo’s sparing request.
A short crowd of tributes went to the jousting stations as Mateo and Harbor were briefed on the rules before being allowed to go at it. It was no surprise that Harbor won all 4 rounds.
“Easy”.
Harbor smiled warmly before being tackled to the ground by the 14-year-old boy from 10.
“You think you're better than me HA you rotten career boy.”
As Price Facet Brook and even Sienna tried to step in Harbor held his hand up to stay back. Harbor then threw the boy off him before pinching the nerve on Mateo’s neck knocking him clean out. As training master Price and Sienna looked at him in bewilderment before Price smiled saying
“Good job kid”.
Harbor smiled before Facet and he returned to the weight station and survival, knife and axe stations even giving advice to Amarylio from 7 with starting fires.
As for the girls they mainly gossiped to themselves and having “Girl talk” at the aquatic station sword station and archery stations. When any tribute tried to use the archery station both Jacqueline and Brook would melodicaly but fiercely slam there weapons into the targtes.
At the end of the traing head master price brought the tributes to the asscors room. Due to the request of the new head game maker the tributes assesment scores were kept strictly confidential. However tabloid reporters manage to scoop out that Jacqueline Facet Harbor and Malona from to managed to score at the top of the pack with a 11. Brook and Amarylio scored a 9 and at the bottom of the pack was Mateo and Hargree from 12 scoring a 3 each.
Both Sienna Quintin and Realm were beyond impressed with there tributes scores before they’re stylist sketched up potential outfits with there mentors soon quizing the pairs on interview educate.
Camilia Ravenstil welcomed the excited capital audience modeling a rather gothic dress that made her look like a ghost tree by the audience. The audience even laughed good naturedly as Camilia shook for a second as leaves fell of her costume as if wind had hit her. She then exictedly welcomed Jacqueline from 1. She was adorned in a stunning pink and red dress with her hair put up in braids. The two had some gossip before reavling to the audience that she was a decdent of Emarld Rivelta victor of the 34th hunher games. Camilia slapped her knee and laughed saying “Thats who you resmbl I guessed right I knew it!”
As the girls chatted the audience loved her regal responses to Camilas questions as even mentoning the carrer alliance brought the crowd into rapsous cheers,even when she talked about her allies from 4 openly. She then kissed Camilia on the hand before bowing which caused even more cheers before she was dismissed back stage. Facet was welcomed in next marveling a sleeveless pink suit with ruby jeans making many of the capital audience to swoon over his physeigue. Even Camilia was taken aback by his charm and confidence as he spoke about his training experience and the strength of his alliance with Jacqueline. His witty remarks and easygoing demeanor captivated the audience, earning him loud applause and admiration.
Later on into the night brook was welcomed in next with wild cheers and wolf whistles sounding. With her hair being dyed a pure yellow with a light brown dress resembling sand following her. She proceeded to have the same amount of banter with Camilia as Jacqueline did however Camilia cut her off as she was finshing up talking about her dads money saying “Honey this is the hunger games.”
“Yeah and Ill live how I like before the games.”
As a few jeers sounded the rest of her interview was rather dull the only light being Camilia shooing the “Regina George” of the stage. As Camila then called Harbor loud cheers sounded again as Harbor walked on to the stage with his curly black hair and brown eyes making him quite attrauctive to many even his pirate themed coustume became an over night sensation with many fashion designers stating that they wanted this fashionable suit.
As Camilia asked Harbor about the games becoming pleased with his short but sweet responses. Even cracking some good jokes about the other competitors mainly about Bloom from 7 and Mateo from 10 . To conclude Harbor’s inteviwed he tossed his waist coat to teh crowd as an excited gagle of captial ladies clammered for this waist coat. As his interview ended on a high. Finaly after the interview of the boy from 14 the new head game maker Natellia Swan was welcomed to the stage. Head game maker swan was adorned in a regal black gown also sporting garish make up making her resmble more of ghost then human. After introducing herself to the excited capital audience Camila smiled before shaking her hand saying that “Game maker swan has alot to accept from.” She laughed before giving hint out to teh audience by pointing to both of the laides dresses. Curious osund sof inteirgue soon followed as game maker swan smiled and bowed as she then left the stage as Camilia then ended the interviews there. The next morning tributes were given a breif breakefst before being brought to the arena’s holding room.
This years outfits consisted of black coats with black jeans and snakers with there distristicts nymbers stickered on the back of there coats. Realm visited Facet before reminding him to stick with Jacqueline and Harbor and Brook. However before Realm finished Facet replied “That girl Brook might be problem.” Realm nodded and agreed before reminding him to keep an eye on her before shaking his hand as he went into his tube. Jacqueline was visited by Quintin the pair had a similar conversation as Realm did with Facet before Jacqueline embraced Quintin and thanked him joking “District 1 needs more ladys.” Quintin laughed before hugging her back before walking Jacqueline to her tube. As for Brook she was not visited by Sienna nor Orvilve a fact that suprised her the most but shrugged before patiently puting her hair up in a bun and waiting for the tribute call to sound. As for Harbor Sienna visted him. She embacred Harbor before reminding him to “ Keep an eye on all of them.”
Harbor smiled before thanking Sienna for her mentor ship before Sienna walked Harbor to his tube his tube and at mid day the podiums then arose into the arena.

Biographies
Emmon Flowers:
Born just a year prior to the Conquest, Emmon is the product of his father (also named Emmon), who was the sickly heir to Holyhall at the time, and Septa Ynys, who had arrived with Lord Willem (Emmon Graceford’s father)’s second wife, Rhea Merryweather, as an attendant. Septa Ynys gave birth to Emmon Flowers after his father’s death from disease. Emmon Sr. had been aware of his child’s coming, and was hoping to live long enough to meet the child he never believed he would have – though that wouldn’t be the case.
Septa Ynys was called back to do penance for the sin of Emmon Flowers, and Emmon himself was taken to be raised by septons so that he might also do penance for the sin of existing – by becoming a septon himself. Lord Willem, who outlived his son and was hoping to have more children by his second wife, was glad of the disposal of an inconvenient bastard – the resemblance of the infant to his father at that age was more hurtful than gratifying.
Emmon learned music and scholarship (religious and otherwise) with the septons, but was known for being a bit too inquisitive and curious for his own good, despite being otherwise pliant and eager to please. Brief talk was made of sending him to the Maesters, but the Faith believed that Emmon was what was owed to them – after all, he had been born of the Faith.
When he was sixteen, Emmon finally retaliated against another bullying novice – landing one punch on the other boy. Unfortunately, the other boy was slightly more martial, and Emmon came out the worse of the two in the fight. Something about this particular incident, however, convinced the septons that Emmon was more trouble than he was worth – perhaps it was the straw that broke the stallion’s back, amongst all the inconvenient questions Emmon would raise. Either way, Emmon was sent back to Holyhall.
Lord Willem was still alive at the time, but by then had only had a daughter, Jocelyn, by his second wife, the Lady Rhea. He took in Emmon purely to avoid the scandal that would have arisen by having the bastard of Holyhall out on the street, and gave him no other kindness but this.
Emmon spent his time playing music as the resident musician at Holyhall, which gave him at least some purpose, and assisted the Maester with the tending of ravens.
When Emmon was twenty, Lord Willem died suddenly – and the only child that remained was Jocelyn, who had always been kind to Emmon, but who had a talent for intrigue that frightened Emmon to an extent. He saw it coming that he would become part of her machinations, but had no real way of stopping it. At least he would be able to continue his music and studies. At least there would be that.

Jocelyn Graceford
Jocelyn was born to the second wife of Willem Graceford and was the only child of this marriage to survive to adulthood – though that very nearly didn’t happen. Jocelyn was badly disfigured by a hunting dog when she was seven years old, and despite treatments by a maester, was ultimately disfigured. Thankfully, she had been able to keep her eyes and tongue. After this, her father abandoned his hopes of arranging a suitable betrothal for her.
Lord Willem had hoped to have a son and heir by his new wife to replace his deceased first heir, but unfortunately, only Jocelyn survived. Rhea Merryweather tried to give her husband a new son and heir, but her multiple pregnancies after Jocelyn only resulted in stillbirths or children who, to the despair of their parents, died in the cradle days after birth.
After his wife finally expired in childbed when Jocelyn was nineteen, Willem was quickly making plans to take a new wife, only to die suddenly and unexpectedly, leaving Jocelyn the Lady of Holyhall.
There are rumors Jocelyn poisoned her father, to prevent him from creating a new heir and sending her to the silent sisters. She denies these rumors.
Because of her disfigurement, Jocelyn tends to not leave Holyhall unless there is great cause for it, or if she cares for those she visits, such as family at Longtable. She wears a long dark veil over her face, to hide the bulk of the damage, and even at Holyhall, only her Maester has seen underneath the veil.
Jocelyn, despite her isolation and lack of marriage prospects, however, is interested in keeping informed, even from her seat in the Reach, and has utilized her nephew to this end.

I made a post yesterday about me having dark brown discharge in my panties. I went to the bathroom today and wiped once, barely any blood, wiped again, there was substantially more, wiped again, even more blood. there was bright red bloody mucus discharge as well as pink watery discharge. My period ended about a week ago, guesstimating. Idk if it’s spotting or not. Please help. I have ovarian cysts and a severe history of utis. the last time I had the latter there was blood in my urine. I need to know. I’m shaking scared from anxiety because this hasn’t happened before. Do I need to see a doctor asap?? Please help!!

Hi all. I had unprotected sex around April 19-21. Yesterday I had brown bleeding but not a lot, today it is brown with a little bit of red blood. My breast are sore, I feel nauseous. Could this be early pregnancy loss or just bad PMS? Thanks in advance.

Hello, I'm helping out a relative with this.
The landlord gave them a three day notice to perform covenant or quit for (1) management witnessed a guest of theirs smoking in the community and it's their responsibility of all guest behaviors. But this was not their guest. It was another tenant they happened to know and they were outside talking. They did not invite this person on to the community they were already there. This was not their guest to begin with. (2) On a separate occasion, someone reported that they were up past 3am with "party behaviors with multiple footsteps." This person is disabled, on section 8 housing, and never has anyone over. It is the second noise complaint on them.
What do we do in this situation? I've drafted an email explaining that they did not have a guest who smokes over and it was another tenet (my relative did not invite them on to the property). We also deny the noise complaint.
My fear is that they will just make up more complaints about "guest" smoking and noise to file eviction proceedings. It's clear that this place is forcing people out.
A few things. This property is one of those expensive "Luxury" corporate owned places that has to honor section 8 housing due to housing discrimination laws in California. They were recently bought by another corporation and are clearly targeting Section 8 tenets and people that don't fit their young SoCal techy and hipster vibe that they have going on. They went as far as to audit everyone in the apartment and made up late charges for tenets who pay rent on the 3rd of every month (the day federal/state benefits are discharged) and enforced a 1st day of the month rent payment rule now. We personally know of at least two other tenets who are also on Section 8 and receive federal/state benefits that have been harassed. Other tenets are also receiving a lot of notice. When you look at the make up of them, of course they are all black, brown, on Section 8, receiving SSI/disability, and low-income.
We do not want an eviction over this that will jeopardize my relative Section 8 voucher all because of this greedy landlord. Any advice?

So I'm a travel nurse on assignment in Colorado. While here I met this guy 2 months ago. We've seen each other a few times, have adventures, but we aren't dating. I recently found out I'm pregnant. I live across the country full time. I'm only here until the end of the summer. I'm not sure how involved he wants to be yet, but right now I'm planning for the worst. I really like Colorado and was in the process of maybe moving here before this happened, however all my family is in South Carolina. Cost of living is higher in Colorado but so is pay. Baby daddy is in Colorado. I know I can afford the baby without help. My only concern is childcare since I work night shift 3 12 hour shifts a week. If I go back home I know I have people who can help and I don't have that here, but the healthcare and childcare assistance in Colorado is better. I'd like the babys father to be involved and I would hate to be across the country and him lose out on so many experiences. The logical thing says to go home, but my heart loves Colorado. Most of my friends and family assume I'm moving out here anyway because of how I talk about it. I guess I'm just a little overwhelmed right now. Anyone have any advice or input? So far this pregnancy has been tough and I'm only 5 weeks in. I throw up 4-5 times a day, I'm dizzy, I had diarrhea so bad my butthole was bleeding and I'm just full of anxiety. If I had a supportive partner that I was in a relationship with I think things would be easier. Part of me doesn't want to go home because my mom is a caregiver to my grandmother who's slowly dying and I don't want to add to her stress levels. I guess I need to run the financial numbers and see what's going to make the most sense. Typing this out actually helped...

Hi! For a week or so I’ve noticed when I wipe on sides of vaginal area with a wet wipe it’s brown - not blood, not discharge- maybe sweat mixed with something else? I shower once a day (maybe more); I’m super active with 3 other kids and I’m thinking maybe it’s dead skin and sweat but not sure. Wondering if any one else has or is experiencing this. No cramps or pain- I thought maybe it was itchy but that was only for a day and then feeling went away. Any advice would be much appreciated! Thank you.
P.S. I have my next doctor’s appointment in 2 and a half weeks.

So I’ve had my nexplanon since december 2020. i got some spotting when I first started but then was prescribed birth control pills to help with the spotting which really helped me. Fast forward almost 4 years later, I haven’t had any periods until March 18, 2024 and it has been constant brown discharge and then i start bleeding as soon as I have sex. and it’s been like this since march and i thought it would go away since i actually got it removed almost one week ago (may 8) but im still having brown discharge with tissue like pieces coming out AND when I cleaned myself today I had some blood 😩 i am so tired of this fr. anyone else went through this?

Hello, I'm 35 f, I'm 5'3 and 273lbs (got weighed today) my doctor prescribed zepbound as I had been taking phentermine and another med dual to lose weight but hit a plateau after losing 30 lbs, I've almost gained it all back after stopping the other meds. I finally found a pharmacy in my area that carries zepbound and my insurance approved it. I'm just nervous I suppose from the side effects list and speaking with my doctor put me at ease a bit but I want to hear from people that have actually taken this once weekly injection on how it's effected them? I had my gallbladder removed last year so the gall bladder related stuff is a non issue. I'm more worried about the constipation and diarrhea, nausea etc because I'm still having issues in that area anyway due to my gall bladder removal (I developed dumping syndrome) so 25 to 30 mins after I eat certain foods I have to go, urgently, anyway. But it's painful and less than pleasant. I guess what I'm asking is does the starter dose really have much side effects or is it only when you get into higher dosages? Any insight would be helpful. I'm a mom of 4 and try to be as active as possible. But at this weight, even a nice walk on mother's day made my feet feel like I broke them. I was always a decent weight my whole life until after having kids, even developed gestational diabetes during my last 2 pregnancies so I just want to get back to being healthy. Thank you for any anecdotes or advice in advance ❤️

Hi all! Had my first pregnancy, an ectopic, in march. Treated with MTX in the beginning of april. After MTX my HCG dropped from 3100 in the beginning of april to 6 two weeks ago. Had a period when my HCG was about 400. Last weekend i’ve experienced some brown spotting and cramping. Today is cycle day 31, so I tought my period was coming (even tho I knew I didn’t ovulate this cycle by using BBT). The spotting lasted for a couple days, but the cramping is still bad. Took an ovulation test on monday and it came back very positive. If that’s true, I’m gonna notice it in my BBT tomorrow I think. I’ve never had ovulations this painfully before and this much spotting. Is that something that’s happening after an ectopic pregnancy? Does anyone else have the same experience?

Hi all, I’m new here and never imagined I’d be going through this. I had an IUD in place and last Wednesday (5/8) I found out I was pregnant. I went to the doctors on Thursday (5/9) and they confirmed I was pregnant and removed my IUD. During the ultrasound, they told me they couldn’t see anything so they’d have to check my hcg levels and rule out ectopic pregnancy. My levels were at 61 which were relatively low. Friday night (5/10) I started to experience some very light cramping. On Saturday (5/10) I went to my repeat blood test and the dr told me that was pregnancy test was negative?? And again couldn’t see anything on the ultrasound. My hcg levels were 12 and at that point she confirmed it was a miscarriage and said no follow up was needed. I also took 2 at home pregnancy test and both were negative.
I was feeling fine until Sunday evening (5/12) when I started getting bad back pain and abdominal cramping that made it difficult to move around with some lightheadedness. But still little to no bleeding. On Monday (5/13) I started getting some weird brown almost back discharge. Most of the day, I experienced some moderate cramping and back pain with lightheadedness. So I decided to take the day and get some rest in bed. I feel okay when I am laying down but when I get up to go to the restroom, I experience cramps and back pain and the same lightheadedness comes back and I feel like my heart starts racing. Again, all stops once I lay down. Still no bleeding, just mild brown spotting. This also happens when I try to sit up on a chair.
Has anyone ever experienced this? If so, what should I do? Is it normal that I haven’t bled ? Is this something I should be worried about ?

I am convinced I am pregnant despite not having a lot of the stereotypical early signs. I did spot with discharge for 4 or 5 days last week, which I've never experienced before. That is my main "big symptom". Other than that, everything else has been more murky on if it is or isn't pregnancy. I had cramping on and off for 2 weeks, I've been extraordinarily tired and mostly slept 2 of the last 3 weekends, I've had 2 or 3 nights where I wake up in the middle of the night and can't go back to sleep, I am bloated and have slight pains all lower back/stomach, and am peeing a lot despite normal liquid intake.
I keep getting negative tests and my husband thinks its all in my head, but I swear I am. In the past , I have taken a test as an assurance I wasn't and it was all weird pms but this time I just am convinced I am. And I can't fully explain why? Does that make sense? It's only been 5 days since the spotting stopped.
I guess I am wondering how long I should maybe keep taking tests at home and if anyone else has felt this way? And if it turned out they were right? I have seen that some people with PCOS feel great while pregnant, and that hidden pregnancies are more common for those with PCOS, and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little concerned it will be weeks before a positive test shows. Or if I'd need an ultrasound to convince myself I wasn't.
I just don't know why I am so convinced fully. I also am holding off on my adhd meds and myoinositol supplements while I wait and see if I am right just in case. And we weren't trying to conceive though it'd be nice.
Also I used the fertility flair because it seemed the closest but if I need to change it to general advice, please let me know!

Hi, I’ve never asked on a subreddit like this so idk how TMI this is. I got my Nexplanon 2 years ago and had no problems. Didn’t get my period almost at all apart from the odd one or two times through those two years. In the last 2 months, every other week I’ve had very very thick and heavy brown discharge and it lasts for around a week each time. I’ve left it a few times just because I know it can be a bit unpredictable but this consistent for this long is starting to worry me. Has anyone else had this before or could anyone give me any advice or clarity on this? 😓

This is more for my peace of mind but today I had a few episodes of diarrhea and have thrown up once so far with stomach pain. Even after throwing up I still feel sick. Having thrown up, I am now anxious about pregnancy.
I take the combined pill and also use condoms every time I have sex along with pulling out. I did take a late pill late a few weeks ago (I missed it in the evening and took it as soon as I woke up the next day). Could these symptoms be pregnancy or is it most likely food poisoning/the stomach flu?

I (22F) thought I was pregnant recently. My breasts were sore and tender and felt fuller and firmer than normal, which started about 2-3 weeks ago. I also was having cramps that felt similar to menstrual cramps for that amount of time. I was nauseated, dizzy, and had trouble keeping food down. I was going to the bathroom constantly too. I had a lot of discharge, normal color and smell, but I don’t normally have much of that in my cycle. Overall, I also just had a feeling that it wasn’t PMS symptoms (usually those only begin the week before my period, not 2-3 weeks before like this did).
I took a pregnancy test a few days ago and it came out negative, but this was before a missed period (it was 4 weeks from my last menstruation but I had 2 more weeks before I was due for my next one).
Yesterday I started my “period”, but it’s extreme heavy flow. I bleed through overnight pads in less than two hours, and I’ve never seen this much clotting before. The bleeding is a normal color, but there is extreme excessive clotting that I don’t normally get. My periods are normally medium-heavy, but this level of flow and clotting is very uncommon for me.
My nausea is not strong anymore but I’m still dizzy and having horrible cramping pains.
It was never confirmed that I was pregnant, but I wonder if I’m miscarrying or just having an unfortunate surprise period.

I am 11 weeks 2 days, stopped progesterone in oil and estrace on Sunday and now today I noticed some light brown discharge, doesn't seem to have any smell to it. I just need to know if this is something I should be concerned about or not, trying to not spiral.
